I’ve got nothing but praise for the Mixing course. My lecturer was fantastic and really helped develop an understanding of the mixing process. Having been releasing music over the last 5 years myself, I have always relied on engineers to mix my finished compositions. I never felt confident in my own mixes. I really feel now that Point Blank's Mixing course has given me a process and a broad understanding of mixing that will give me a solid foundation for the years ahead in my music career. - Jamie, Mixing student
