Pro-Level Mixes.
Proven System.
Consistent Results.
You want your mixes to sound like the records you love.
Whether that's for your own music, your band or paying clients,
this is the system that gets you there.
Are you struggling to get more separation, clarity and punch in your mixes?
Spending hours on a mix, only to put it up against a reference track and feel like you're back at square one?
With all the mixing tools and information available today, it's easy to get overwhelmed.
You end up scouring the internet for tips and quick fixes, struggling to implement them, never quite sure if you're heading in the right direction.
And most of what's out there isn't even relevant if you're mixing rock and heavy music.
This is the cycle that keeps most engineers from ever reaching a pro level:
Mixing blindly, unsure of what they're actually aiming for, with no clear system to get there.
The longer you stay in it, the less confidence you have.
And without confidence, you stay stuck - not releasing music and not going after your first clients or bigger clients.
It doesn't matter whether you're mixing for your own band or working with paying clients.
The problem - and the solution - is the same.
You need a system.
A clear, repeatable process that gives you a pro result every time you sit down to mix.
I know what it takes -
because I've been where you are.
I started out with no fancy gear, no degree, and no clear path forward.
For two years I tried to teach myself - spending hours on forums and recording magazines, chasing gear recommendations and plugin tricks - while working at a gas station to pay the bills. My recordings still sounded like basement demos.
It took years of trial and error - including 6 months as an intern at a major studio in Toronto, cleaning toilets and running food just to get in the room with platinum engineers - before things finally clicked.
Since then I've built a full-time career producing and mixing records for bands like Silverstein, Neck Deep, Intervals and Counterparts, releasing on Rise Records, Hopeless, Tooth & Nail and Universal. Songs I've worked on have millions of plays online.
For the past 10+ years I've also been teaching engineers around the world how to get those same results - without having to take the long road I did.
That's exactly what this course is built to do.
By getting an inside, over-the-shoulder look at a real major-label mix session,
You'll learn the pro techniques and approaches that would otherwise take years to figure out on your own...
With a focus on rock and heavy music, where every lesson applies directly to what you're working on.
For the last 7 years, this course has only been available inside my high-ticket mentorship program.
Now available as a standalone purchase for the first time.
Here's what I hear from past course members:
Their mixes didn't get incrementally better. They got noticeably better, right away - clients noticed, bandmates noticed, and they stopped dreading the mix stage.
"I bought 10 years of knowledge for next to nothing. I landed a serious record handed to me last night and I feel I owe it all to you. I would have paid 3 times what I did had I known how much these videos would clear up for me."Don L.
"For the first time, I can compare my mix to a pro and say, 'Yeah, I could mix for those labels and bands.' Thank you, Jordan."Chris L.
"My $20,000 college diploma couldn't give me the confidence your course did. It's taken my mixing game to new heights in a ridiculously short amount of time."David H.
"16 years of struggling mixes - and finally proof that it's not the preamp, not the mic, DAW or plugins. After watching just a few of the videos I've noticed a MASSIVE improvement in my production."Michael C.
Real results. Real students.

Everything you need to hit a pro level you're proud of
The clarity, punch, and polish of major label mixes - broken down into a system you can follow on every single song.
This course isn't theory. It's built around a complete, real-world mix walkthrough - my mix for Silverstein's "In The Dark" - pulled apart and explained in full detail so you can see exactly how it's done at the highest level.
The fastest way to improve is to shadow a pro on real projects - absorbing the decisions, the instincts, and the process that actually makes records sound the way they do. Each section builds on the last, and you'll be taking ideas directly into your mixes from day one.
A rock-solid grasp of every mixing tool
Confusion about the intricacies of EQ, compression, saturation, and effects can hold mixers back. This section clears all of that up - the "need to know" fundamentals, explained without fluff, and without diving down the rabbit-holes of useless technical jargon.
No more second-guessing or feeling unsure of your tools. No more starting over. Just a clear understanding of what each tool does and exactly when to reach for it.
- Compression: how to hear it and use it for punch, glue, depth or feel
- EQ: when to cut, boost, and why each type matters
- Saturation & distortion: an under-utilized weapon
- Effects that serve the mix - not just sound cool
- Set up to mix faster and more confidently
- Never get stuck second-guessing again
Behind the scenes of a major label mix
Most courses teach mixing theory in a vacuum. This one pulls back the curtain on what it actually looks like in practice - every nuance, every decision, every plugin, every bus and effect - nothing left out.
I've gone behind the scenes of my full mix for "In The Dark" by Silverstein and broken it down in complete detail, so you can understand mixing in a completely new way and pick up techniques you've never seen or thought of before.
You'll also get access to the raw multitracks and my personal mixing templates - all routing, plugins, presets, and effects - available to download for all major DAWs.
- Every plugin decision explained in context
- Full bus structure and routing walkthrough
- Every automation move and why it's there
- How each effect serves the final sound
- The exact signal chain for every element
- Downloadable templates for all major DAWs
- Raw multitracks to follow along and mix yourself
Mix faster. Sound bigger. Crank out quality.
Technique only gets you so far. This section is about making pro-level results repeatable - the workflow, systems, and specific moves that let you crank out one, two, or even three quality mixes per day.
From dialling in drums that punch through any speaker, to achieving modern loudness without squashing your mix, to the automation secrets that keep listeners hooked from start to finish.
- Dial in punch and impact from your drums every time
- Clarity and width - no complex plugins needed
- Low-end that translates from big speakers to earbuds
- Reduce massive track counts and stay organized
- Automation that keeps every second dynamic
- Get your mix 75% there in minutes with templates
- Modern loudness without squashing your mix
- Consistent quality at speed, every time
Implement what you learn as you go - and you'll hear the difference on your very next mix.
"I don't cringe when my mix comes on next to a professional production anymore. If someone had told me 7 years ago the things I learned inside this course, I would have saved TONS of time and money."DC M.
"It was quite an eye opener and a total change of mindset. My raw tracks now sound better than my completed mixes did before. This course is an absolute no brainer. Do it. NOW!"Thomas G.
"The passion I felt for mixing back when I first started is all coming back now. And I have so much more confidence than I did a few months ago."Kevin C.
"After going through this course, I now have work I can be proud of, musicians that want my style and touch, and a better understanding of how records are engineered professionally."Stephan B.
"It's insane how punchy and tight all my mixes are sounding. You've really helped me a lot in my career as an audio engineer. Can't thank you enough."Shannon S.
The Bonuses
Everything below comes included when you enroll. No upsells, no separate purchases - it's all in.
Complete Drum Sample Pack
My personal custom drum sample library - built specifically for rock and heavy music after years of trial and error with other libraries. Includes 6 kicks, 8 snares, a tom set, plus a full Mix FX Pack of reverse snares, cymbal swells, bass drops and crescendos tuned to every note. Drag and drop into any session immediately.
Session Vault
Access to over 50 different multitrack sessions you can use for mix practice. Many of these multitracks are "portfolio approved" - which means you can mix them yourself and use them on your website and on your public portfolio to show off your work and attract potential clients. A range of genres to choose from, including heavy rock and metal sessions to pop-rock, punk, indie-rock and more.
Bonus Mix Training - 7 Additional Lessons
Most courses stop at the fundamentals. We go further - covering the real-world scenarios that come up on real sessions but rarely get taught. The edge cases, the problem tracks, the situations where the standard approach doesn't cut it. Including in-depth lessons on mixing synths and keys, scream vocals, detailed drums, programmed drums, and more.
When your mixes improve, everything else follows.
Better mixes mean more confidence in the studio. More confidence means you finish more, release more, and consistently produce results that speak for themselves.
And for a lot of people, that's when things start to shift - opportunities show up that weren't there before, like attracting paying clients, growing a studio business, or even going full-time as a producer.
Here's what that progression looks like for real people who went through the course.
"I was able to quit my part time job and am finally working at my studio full time. I, and the band, couldn't believe the difference. It was on a totally different level - everything was more clear, punched a lot more, sounded bigger and just straight up more professional."Nick G.
"I'm glad to say that after 3 years of sticking to it, I finally managed to quit my full-time job and am comfortably mixing full-time with projects booked-up for months."John H.
"Thanks to Jordan I've been able to start my own studio and recently released an album with my band 100% produced by me. I can't even express the joy of making my own songs with pro-quality sound."Artur B.
"I keep getting new clients and the old ones keep coming back. I'm actually making a decent income on my dream - more than I thought I would this early."Chris C.

FAQ
What DAW does this course use?
Primarily Pro Tools, but the concepts apply to any DAW. Session templates are included for Pro Tools, Logic X, Cubase, Reaper, Ableton, and Studio One - so you can hit the ground running regardless of your setup.
Is this course for complete beginners?
This course is built for intermediate engineers - people who know their way around a DAW but aren't consistently getting the results they want. If you can navigate a session and understand basic routing, you're in the right place. If you're brand new to audio, you may want to build some basics first.
What if I already went through the original PPS mixing module?
The Pro Mixing Course is the same course found inside the Professional Production System, updated. If you completed the full PPS program, you've already been through this content. If you haven't gone through PPS - this is the first time it's been available on its own in 7 years.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime. Pay once, keep it forever. If I update the course - which I do - you get the updates automatically at no additional cost.
What genre is this course focused on?
Rock and heavy music - metal, hardcore, pop-punk, post-hardcore. That's what I know and what I've spent 15+ years working in. The Session Vault includes some pop-rock and indie sessions as well, and the core mixing principles translate across genres, but this is unapologetically built for heavy music.
What's the difference between this and the Artist Pass?
Purchasing the Pro Mixing Course gives you lifetime ownership of this specific course. The Black Salt Audio Artist Pass is a subscription that includes access to this course and other BSA Academy content for as long as you're subscribed. If you're already on the Artist Pass, you may have access to this course through your subscription - check your dashboard before purchasing.
You have all the ingredients to become a world-class mixer.
All that's missing is a proven system that gives you a clear path forward - without the guesswork, without the overwhelm, and without wasting years trying to piece it all together on your own.
