I didn't expect the course to be great…
I didn't expect the course to be great because I've been buying other producing courses earlier which I was not impressed by. But this one is a different story.
Quick and great customer support
The course is very detailed and the information is chronologically organized. It is easy to follow along and get similar results. I find it much better than binge-watching YouTube tutorials.
Bought the course Last year and in just 4 months
in just a short time I was able to build my confidence with mixing and mastering to the point that I don't guess anymore

Questions? Answers.
Which software do I need?
FL Studio 20 or newer. You use FL Studio's stock plugins plus a couple of free plugins. Nothing else to buy.
Can I follow along in Ableton or another DAW?
No. The course is made for FL Studio. The plugins and project files are all FL Studio, so they won't match Ableton, Logic or other DAWs.
Why not just learn from YouTube?
Random tutorials give you pieces. Here you build one whole song, in the right order, and every step is explained, so you can do the same on your own ideas later.
I'm a total beginner. Is this too much for me?
No. It starts with what you need to get started and how to find your way around FL Studio. Then you build one track, step by step.
How long is the course?
52 video lessons, 4.5+ hours in total. You build one real song as you go, so you're making music instead of sitting through theory. Every click is explained in plain words, you go at your own pace, and you can rewatch any lesson whenever you need it.
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay once and keep lifetime access.
When do I get access?
Right after you pay. Your login details arrive by email.
Can I watch on my phone?
Yes. You can watch on any device.
How does the money-back guarantee work?
You have 60 days. Email support@mixelite.com or use live chat, and you get 100% back. One refund per person.
How can I pay?
Card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Prices are in US dollars, and your card converts to your currency.
