Make it sound like a record.

This was one of the best books I read when I was in school, just learning how to mix. It will help guide small-studio engineers to get the understanding they need to create radio-ready music, and it leads you through each step of the mixing process.

The author also hosts 100+ multitrack sessions you can use along with the book to practice what you learn: the Cambridge multitrack library.

This was one of the books on audio that I actually learned the most out of in my days in audio school. I would recommend the chapter on compression as required reading for anyone looking to get into mixing or engineering.

The Pro Audio Files is a long-running blog that provides tutorials, articles, and courses that generally cater to entry-level engineers who are starting to learn to mix.

The creator behind this channel gets straight to the point. He has an impressive depth of knowledge and passes it on in an engaging way. I have heard a few knowledge bombs that I haven't heard anywhere else.

Mike (Mixing With Mike) covers a ton of ground and goes through everything you need to know about how to set up a mixing session in a DAW. It's really hard to find process-related, step-by-step information that's as detailed and thorough as what's being presented here. I think this series is well worth watching for anyone who mixes audio of any kind in a DAW. Lots of common sense, time-saving tricks you can use to help yourself work more efficiently. It's a little difficult to stay engaged, though.

With Grammy-winning engineers as your teachers, Puremix provides great tutorials on mixing, recording, producing, and mastering.

I personally learned a lot from Inside the Mix: Twenty One Pilots.

Sean Divine specializes in music production, mixing and mastering, sound design and education in the audio community.

These are long-form masterclass tutorials that cover a wide range of topics, from production and beatmaking to mixing. In these videos, acclaimed engineers and producers share their knowledge.

Dave Pensado was one of the originals in online audio education. Top mixing engineer Dave Pensado and Herb Trawick talk all things audio. He will give you insights into his career, and teaches you how to improve your own recordings to get that "platinum record" sound. The show includes interviews with top music industry artists, engineers, producers, mixers, and record executives, as well as in-depth tutorials in engineering and mixing.

This is one of the only purely mastering-related podcasts I have found. Ian Shepherd produces a great resource for people curious about mastering and how to begin mastering your own music if you want.

Mastering isn't a black art and Bob Katz shares his knowledge as a mastering engineer from the fundamentals of sound to the different aspects of analog and digital audio. While this book can be extremely technical, Bob makes many of the concepts accessible to people without the technical background.

You get to watch Ian Shepherd do a series of virtual mastering sessions. During the course you will learn to apply the techniques and master all the core elements of the mastering chain.

Get audio ear training online, improve core listening skills like frequency detection or compression, and start sounding like a pro. They offer a free plan. The games are engaging and it seems like I am practicing and improving a skill.

This ear training mainly revolves around frequency. It gets into pretty difficult and advanced listening tests and will be sure to improve your hearing.

Mixing is way more than turning knobs. This book covers the approach to mixing and your mindset when you are sitting down to tackle a new song. Get your mind right, and you will get the mix right. This book contains a lot of unique techniques that I haven't heard of in any other book. If you are ready to improve your mixing mindset, this is the book for you. However, it's hard to find a physical copy.

Telefunken provides these multitracks as a way to promote their microphones, but it is an incredible resource for free high-quality multi-tracks recorded live by top musicians. What more could you ask for? I have really enjoyed mixing these tracks in my spare time.

The author of the book Mixing Secrets, Mike Senior, is also the person that hosts these multi-tracks for educational purposes. Many of the tracks also have a Mix Rescue article from the Sound on Sound website that you can use to help guide you as you mix the song and face each song's unique challenges.
