“Definitely your way of teaching. Everything is explained clearly and transparently. Another strong point (the one that convinced me to buy the course) was the choice of topics. With many items in the table of contents, I had real trouble — and fortunately the course answered my questions exactly the way I hoped it would. And the best part is: if something is still unclear, I can always ask later during the live online meetings or in the group, and I’m incredibly grateful for that option. The summaries under each video and the downloadable materials are also very useful. I’ve taken many courses so far, and I have to say your course is truly put together in a very solid, professional way.”
“That limiter move right after setting the initial balance. That’s why I bought the course. I make solid mixes, even a few albums that sound pretty good — but I never would’ve thought of that.”
“It reminded me of things I’d forgotten, and I refreshed a few topics.”
“Workflow, checklist, a PDF with clearly drawn mixing techniques. Examples on different tracks. End-of-course materials. Wojtek’s knowledge.”
“Your knowledge delivered in an accessible way. Straight to the point — no BS like in most courses of this type.”
“An unconventional approach to mixing — great tricks and techniques you use. In general, I’d seen most of the material on your YouTube channel, but in the course you dropped a few ‘cherries on top’ that…”
“An unconventional approach to mixing — great tricks and techniques you use. In general, I’d seen most of the material on your YouTube channel, but in the course you dropped a few ‘cherries on top’ that hugely inspired me and completely changed my approach to mixing — making my mixes clearer and more transparent.”

Do your mixes sound flat, lose selectivity, and sound bad on other systems? The problem isn’t the plugins, but the decisions you make.
In my 25 years as a sound engineer, I have identified mistakes that recur in 90% of sessions — from poorly organized workflows to disastrous low-end balance and destructive compression. I know how to fix them because I’ve done it on hundreds of productions, including albums that have won two Fryderyk Awards and made it onto the Billboard 200 (US) chart.
This course is not theory — it’s specific techniques that I’ve been using for decades.
Who is it for?
Beginner or intermediate producers and engineers who want to eliminate recurring mistakes and improve the quality of their mixes.
Engineers who have technical knowledge but lack a systematic workflow and confidence in their decisions.
People who want facts instead of myths — proven solutions without unnecessary explanations.
What exactly do you get?
6 thematic modules | 2 hours of VOD recordings | Unlimited access
1. Common mistakes
Poorly organized session — how to set up routing, grouping, and color coding so you don’t waste time.
Overuse of plugins — when less is more.
Lack of distance from the song — techniques for fresh listening and working with references.
Poor instrument balance — mixing hierarchy and prioritizing decisions.
2. Vocals
Incorrect equalizer — where to sculpt and where to leave alone.
Incorrect compression — attack, release, and ratio.
Lack of automation — why a static fader will never work.
Incorrect de-essing — how to remove sibilance and noise without losing air.
3. Drums
Overcompression on the group and tracks — how to preserve dynamics and punch.
Sibilant hi-hat — EQ and harmonic control techniques.
Lack of automation — how to manage dynamics in different sections.
4. Low end balance (kick + bass)
Cutting the low end on bass/kick — high-pass vs. shelf, when and how.
Not matching kick settings to the theme — how to listen contextually.
Incorrect bass balance — proportions relative to the kick and the rest of the mix.
Incorrect bass EQ — where to boost, where to cut.
Lack of bass saturation — when and what to use for consistency.
Bass compression — attack/release and sidechain for clarity.
5. Guitars and panning
Incorrect EQ techniques — static vs. dynamic, Mid/Side.
Overcompression — how to preserve attack and character.
Lack of panning settings for stereo elements — width without chaos.
6. Mix bus and finalization
Incorrect input level — headroom and gain staging;
“The master will take care of everything?” — myth and reality;
Incorrect final volume — LUFS, streaming platforms, and CD transfer;
Inappropriate limiter/compressor — how not to kill dynamics;
Failure to check the mix in mono — translation and compatibility test.
