Who Teaches This Course?

Meet Your Mentor

Dana Nielsen

Multi-Platinum, GRAMMY-Nominated Mixer, Producer, Musician

I am a Grammy-nominated freelance producer, mixer, and engineer with 25 years of experience working with superstar artists from SZA to Slayer and Bob Dylan to Kanye West, earning credits on Grammy-winning, multi-platinum, Billboard-topping albums.

Mixing entirely from my home bedroom studio, I’ve proven that chart-topping sound doesn’t require a professional facility or excessive gear—and I’m uniquely qualified to teach you how to achieve the same results.

Works In Any Genre

Mixing is an art.
But delivering consistent results? That’s a workflow.

Whether you’re mixing synth-pop, hip-hop, indie rock, heavy metal, or acoustic folk — the MixLAB process stays the same:

Pink Checkmark Intentional Preparation

Discover the meaning and emotion behind each song

Pink Checkmark Identify the Essence

Determine the song's core components

Pink Checkmark Smart Routing

Mix faster and smarter with efficient stem-ready ITB routing

Pink Checkmark Balance & Tone

Use EQ and dynamics to build a static balance for all mix components

Pink Checkmark Sonic Storytelling

Enhance your mix with FX and automation to convey the emotion

MixLAB shows you how to build this foundation — and gives you real-time feedback to sharpen your instincts

Did You Know?

It’s MUCH EASIER to build confidence with a repeatable system than it is to keep guessing your way through every mix. 

So instead of watching endless tutorials or second-guessing every EQ move, MixLAB members follow a clear roadmap — and improve with every track they mix.

 

 

The sooner you stop guessing, the faster
your mixes will start sounding like you always imagined.

What if you don't adopt the repeatable mixing workflow taught in MixLAB?

Those who try to mix without a framework keep chasing that “magic plugin” — or the one video that finally makes it all click.

But months (or years) go by… and their mixes still feel muddy, scattered, or unfinished.
 
Without real feedback and a repeatable approach, even talented mixers stall out — or worse, burn out.
 
 But it doesn’t have to be that way.
