Does This Sound Like You?

  • You’ve watched a ton of tutorials, but your mixes still don’t sound like the records you love.
  • You can hear the sound in your head… but you can’t consistently get it out of your speakers.
  • Sometimes you get close — other times it feels like you’re starting from scratch.
  • You’re tired of guessing, tired of second-guessing, and tired of feeling like you’re “almost there.”
  • You want a clear workflow, real examples, and a place to actually practice without the overwhelm.
You’re not alone...
The Problem

Why Your Mixes Aren’t Matching Your Vision — Yet

Mixing isn’t supposed to feel like a constant guessing game.

But if you’re like most mixers, it probably feels something like this:

You watch a tutorial, try the technique, and it sort of works…
…but only on that one song.

On the next track, everything falls apart again.
The vocal feels harsh.
The drums feel weak.
The low end won’t sit right.
Nothing feels consistent.

You’re not lacking effort.
You’re not lacking passion.
And you’re definitely not lacking potential.

You’re lacking a repeatable workflow you can trust.

Here’s the truth no one tells you:

  • YouTube gives you tips, not a full mix
  • Plugin companies sell excitement, not skill
  • Courses teach concepts, not decision-making
  • Templates help — but only if you understand the workflow behind them
  • Short clips of pros mixing are NOT the same as watching a full mix built from scratch

None of these are wrong.
They’re just incomplete.

Mixing is a full-scope craft — not a collection of tricks.

Until you see how all the decisions connect…
from the stereo bus
to the vocal chain
to automation
to the final polish…

…you’ll keep running in circles.

You’ll keep fixing one problem while creating another.
You’ll keep chasing new plugins hoping one of them magically solves it.
You’ll keep second-guessing your ears.
You’ll keep starting mixes over — again and again.

It’s exhausting.
And honestly?

It’s not your fault.

No one ever sat down and showed you the full picture.

Not in real time.
Not across genres.
Not with multitracks in your hands.
Not inside a community committed to helping you grow.

You’ve been trying to build a house by examining bricks…
instead of watching someone build the whole thing.

But once you see a complete mix happen —
start to finish, move by move, with the “why” behind every decision…
everything changes.

Clarity replaces chaos.
Confidence replaces guesswork.
Your ears sharpen.
Your workflow steadies.
Your mixes finally start to match the vision in your head.

That’s exactly what The Control Room was built for.

Big Picture

Why Most Mixers Stay Stuck — And How Pros Break Through

You Don’t Need More Plugins — You Need a Proven Process

Most mixers aren’t failing because of talent. They’re failing because they’re trying to learn from scattered videos, random presets, and half-explained walkthroughs that never show the full picture.

The truth is this:

Pro mixers don’t rely on guesswork. They rely on systems.
Repeatable workflows.
Real-world examples.
Consistent practice with real music — not 20–second tutorials.

That’s why you hit a ceiling.
Not because you’re not good enough…
but because you’re piecing together a puzzle with half the pieces missing.

When You Watch a Pro Mix a Song Start-to-Finish, Everything Changes

You stop copying settings.
You start understanding decisions.

You stop tweaking aimlessly.
You start hearing what actually matters.

You stop overthinking.
You start building confidence.

  • Downloadable multitracks
  • Weekly full-song breakdowns
  • A community that gives feedback
  • A workflow you can follow again and again

…your results accelerate faster than anything you’ve tried before.

This Is Exactly Why I Built The Control Room

To give mixers a place where the guesswork is gone…
the overwhelm is gone…
and the path forward is actually clear.

Not theory.
Not shortcuts.
Not “tips.”

Real mixing. Real songs. Real growth. Every single week.

Inside The Mix Academy

Introducing The Mix Academy Control Room

The Control Room is my live, working studio floor — opened up for you. It’s where you watch full songs mixed from start to finish, practice with the same multitracks, and build a reliable workflow you can trust in any genre.

Instead of random tips or short clips, you get to see the entire process: stereo bus, drums, bass, instruments, vocals, effects, automation, and final polish — all in real time.

Whether you mix worship, CCM, gospel, rock, pop, hip-hop, or indie projects, the goal is simple: help you get pro-level results you can repeat across every song.

Inside The Control Room, you’ll:

  • Watch full, start-to-finish mixes in real time
  • Download the exact multitracks I’m using
  • Learn the “why” behind every major decision
  • Develop a repeatable workflow you can trust
  • Get feedback and support from a focused community
  • Grow fast through real-world mix challenges

The Control Room isn’t just another course. It’s an active training ground where you stack real reps, real mixes, and real growth every single week.

Fit Check

Who The Control Room Is For

The Control Room is built for mixers who are serious about getting better — whether you’re mixing your own music, your band, your church, or paying clients.

Here’s how to know if it’s a fit:

Best Fit

The Control Room Is For You If...

  • You’re tired of guessing and want a clear, repeatable workflow you can trust
  • You want to mix confidently in any genre — worship, gospel, CCM, pop, indie, rock, hip-hop
  • You learn best by watching full mixes built in real time, not random, disconnected tutorials
  • You want real practice with multitracks you can download and mix yourself
  • You value community and feedback instead of trying to improve in isolation
  • You want to sharpen your ears, finish more mixes, and build a real portfolio
  • You’re committed to consistent growth, even if you only have a few hours each week
  • You want professional-quality results without burning out, overthinking, or starting from scratch every time
Not A Fit

The Control Room Is NOT For You If...

This isn’t a good fit if:

  • You’re looking for a quick hack, magic plugin, or shortcut to “sound pro”
  • You don’t want to practice or finish mixes
  • You only want bite-sized tips, tricks, and presets
  • You’re not interested in seeing real mixes built start-to-finish
  • You prefer to learn entirely alone without being part of a community
  • You’re looking for a course you watch once and forget
  • You want someone else to “fix” your mix instead of building long-term skill

This isn’t a tip channel.

It’s a training ground. A place for people who want to get good — for real.

Why It Stands Out

Why The Control Room Is Different

Most mixing education gives you pieces of the puzzle — a drum trick here, a vocal tip there. The Control Room gives you the whole picture, week after week, until pro-level decisions become normal for you.

1

You See Every Decision in Context

Not tips. Not 10-minute breakdowns. Not isolated vocal chains. You watch full songs mixed from blank session to finished master — nothing skipped, nothing hidden.

You finally see how all the moves connect, instead of guessing which trick to use next.

2

You Train on the Same Multitracks I Use

You’re not just watching over my shoulder — you’re working the same records.

Watch the mix, download the files, build your version, then compare:

  • How your low-end stacks up
  • How your vocal sits in the track
  • How your space, width, and depth feel

That A/B experience is what calibrates your ears and builds a portfolio you’re proud to share.

3

You Internalize a Proven Workflow

You don’t need more random ideas. You need a sequence you can trust when the session opens.

Inside The Control Room, you’ll build a repeatable, professional workflow:

Editing / Mix Prep
Rough Mix
Song / Arrangement Evaluation
Drums
Bass
Instruments
Vocals
Stereo Bus
Loudness Processing
FX Throughout
Automation
Final Polish
Mastering

This flow gives you clarity, speed, and consistency — the same structure top engineers rely on to deliver professional mixes, session after session.

Over time, that workflow becomes muscle memory — and your mixes start coming out consistent instead of “hit or miss.”

4

You’re Not Growing in Isolation Anymore

Most mixers try to figure it out alone. That’s why progress is slow and discouraging.

Inside The Control Room, you have:

  • real feedback on your actual mixes
  • a community that speaks your language
  • accountability to keep you moving
  • a place to share wins, losses, and lessons

You stop wondering “Is this even good?” and start knowing exactly what to do next.

5

You Build Genre-Proof Ears

Because you’re training on real songs in multiple styles, your ears stop being locked into just one lane.

Inside The Control Room, you’ll work across pop, rock, worship, CCM, gospel, country, indie, singer/songwriter, hip-hop, R&B, and more — so your decisions translate wherever the next song comes from.

That versatility makes you far more valuable to artists, churches, and clients.

6

You’re Learning From a Working, Multi-Platinum Mixer — Live

This isn’t theory or recycled content. You’re seeing the same approach I use on projects that live on Spotify, Apple Music, radio, and YouTube.

You get to ask questions in real time and actually understand why a pro makes the moves they make.

7

It’s Built for Real-Life Schedules

You don’t need a full-time studio calendar to grow. You need focused reps that fit around work, family, and church.

With weekly sessions, replays, and structured challenges, even a few hours a week is enough to see steady, noticeable improvement in your mixes.

If that’s the kind of environment you’ve been missing, your next step is simple.

Thousands of mixers have trained with my systems across pop, rock, worship, CCM, gospel, country, indie, singer/songwriter, and more. The Control Room is where that training goes deeper — every single week.

David Glenn

David Glenn — Multi-Platinum Mixing Engineer & Teacher

For the last decade, mixers across rock (most sub-genres), pop, worship, gospel, CCM, indie, singer/songwriter, country, and more have learned from my systems — from local churches and independent artists to full-time engineers and major-label teams.

But it didn’t start that way. I began exactly where most mixers do: overwhelmed, confused, and constantly wondering why my mixes didn’t match the vision in my head.

Through thousands of hours of real client work, revisions, late nights, and refining my workflow, I built a system I could trust — one that’s carried me to multi-platinum credits and a global community of mixers who’ve used these methods to transform their sound.

The Control Room is my way of giving you that clarity: a place to watch full mixes built from scratch, practice with the same multitracks, get real feedback, and build confidence through repetition — one mix at a time.

If you’re committed to growing, I’ll meet you where you are and help you become the mixer you know you can be.

What If This Isn’t For Me?

I get it. You’ve probably bought courses or memberships before that didn’t deliver what you hoped. The last thing I want is to be “another thing” that collects dust.

That’s why I don’t want you guessing from the outside.

Come in, watch the sessions, download the multitracks, jump into a challenge, and see how it feels to build mixes inside a real training environment.

If you join on the Founder’s Launch at $27 and in that first month you realize it’s not the right fit?

No hard feelings.

No guilt.

No weird hoops to jump through.

You can cancel any time with a couple of clicks and you’ll never be billed again.

I want people inside The Control Room who want to be there — who are excited to grow, practice, and be part of a focused mixing community.

If that’s you, you’ll know pretty quickly once you’re in.

Try it for a month. If it’s not helping you move forward, you can walk away. No pressure.

Next up: answers to the most common questions about how The Control Room works.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Logic, Studio One, Reaper, Ableton, FL, Cubase — they all work. The Control Room focuses on workflow, decision-making, and translation, not a specific DAW.
Every session is recorded, timestamped, and added to the Replay Vault. Most members actually learn from replays on their own schedule.
Yes. If you can load tracks and follow along, you’ll grow quickly. Watching full songs mixed start-to-finish accelerates your progress more than random tutorials ever will.
Absolutely. Experienced mixers use The Control Room to sharpen their ears, refine workflow, test new approaches, and stay consistent across genres and projects.
Yes. You’ll see worship, CCM, gospel, pop, rock, indie, and live recordings inside. The core workflow translates to whatever you’re mixing.
No. A DAW, a few solid stock or basic plugins, and a good pair of headphones is enough. The Control Room is about ears, clarity, and making the right moves — not collecting plugins.
You’ll get multitracks, a focused task, and a clear deadline. Challenges are designed to stretch a specific skill and help you build a real portfolio over time.
That’s perfect. Many members mix for their church, their band, or their own releases. The workflow you’ll learn applies whether you’re serving a congregation, clients, or your own songs.
You can cancel future renewals anytime. For Monthly, you keep access through the end of your current billing period. For Annual, you keep access through the end of your year.
No. The Control Room is ongoing, practical training: weekly reps, full mixes, multitracks, feedback, and community momentum. You do get access to courses — but the heart of it is real-time practice.
Even one focused hour per week can create real progress. If you can give it 2–3 hours (live or replay), you’ll see your mixes move much faster.
Yes. You can start on Monthly and move to Annual when you’re ready to commit longer, or upgrade to any future Lifetime option when it’s available.
Once the 100 Founder spots are gone, the $27 Monthly rate and Founder Annual pricing close for new members. If you join during this window, your Founder rate is locked in as long as you stay active.

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing…
start finishing mixes you’re proud of…
and build a workflow you can trust every time—

The Control Room is where it happens.

Still On the Fence? Here’s What I’d Tell a Friend.

If you were sitting in my studio asking whether you should join, I’d say this:

You don’t get better by watching more tips — you get better by doing real reps with real songs inside a real system.

That’s what The Control Room gives you.

One hour a week.
One mix at a time.
One workflow that becomes second nature.

If you want clarity, confidence, and mixes you’re proud of… there’s no better place to grow.

And if it’s not for you? You can cancel anytime.

No pressure. Just progress.
