"URM isn't only the de facto compendium for modern mixing, it's also full of personality, making it the most palatable way to absorb this invaluable, otherwise inaccessible information; It feels like you're just hanging out with the best producers, engineers, and musicians in the world."

"The variety, expertise and attention to detail provided by URM Academy makes them an invaluable resource for beginners and professionals alike. As someone who started out with a 4 track recorder and a user manual in 1988, it almost feels unfair."

"Without Nail The Mix, I wouldn't be as good of an engineer as I am today. Being able to learn from the pros helped me become a pro, and I can't recommend this service enough"
