“This whole trance track from start to finish has been an absolute game-changer for me. I have learnt so much over the last 12 months by following this series – it really has transformed my productions. This mixdown tutorial seriously is priceless – you can apply this method to any genre! I have always struggled with balancing the low end alongside the other areas of my tracks and this tutorial really has unlocked the key to that clarity. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Allan.” – Luke Wraight
Ableton Live – Mixdown (Audio Sample) (Limiter added to bring the volume up a bit)
The goal of this tutorial was to bring you the most in-depth Trance Mixdown that the internet has to offer and for you to feel confident when it comes to mixing down your own tracks!
Unlike the other tutorials that are not pre-planned, I wanted to make sure that nothing was missed during this tutorial, so I have included a free mixdown list/guide of areas that I cover in each of my mixdowns.
No stone is unturned in this 10 Part Video Tutorial as I go over each section of the track in a great amount of detail. Hence the 5 hours 40 mins of content!

Yes, as I learn new techniques and faster ways of doing things so can you! Also, not every mixdown is the same as you will have different sounds to contend with. This also has the added benefits of the FREE Guides!
Yes, all the technique you will learn in these videos you can be implemented into your own DAW using your own unique DAWs plugins.
Yes, all the videos are done in sections so that you can implement the section concentrated on in to your own tracks.
***Please note – Plugins such as Sylenth1 & Spire are used in this series but they are NOT needed to learn from this tutorial. I simply use them to automate parameters that you can find on any of your own synths. Simply use the synths/plugins that you have in your own tracks to create the same desired effect.

I only had fragmented knowledge about mixdowns until now, but this video helped me fill in the gaps in my fragmented knowledge and give me a coherent understanding.
As a long time producer I still like to learn as we all should. I really enjoy Allans videos and have quite a few so far. He always dives deep and does everything in front of you so theres no second guessing. This was a great video for mixdowns which is probably one of the hardest parts of writing music getting clarity and not having a muddy frequency mess at the end. One for the arsenal like all the others on his site.
This mixing tutorial is amazing. Clear and concise
I have about 5 years of experience producing Trance music, and thanks to Allan and his videos I got a lot better, but this video is by far one of his best videos and one of the best videos about Trance mixdown.
We all know the big idea of mixing, and what to do, and how to do it, but what we lack? The tiny details that can give amazing results, and this tutorial do just that! Totally recommended for any one whatever the level is.
It's so helpful, with precise and clear info, understandable, and very useful for improving how I mix down all my tracks!! For me, this course is 100/10 I love it!!
