Todays tip is a really short but really important one! In this day and age even the budget, consumer grade audio interfaces are capable of converting audio into digital information at 24 Bit. Although your final master will most likely be a 16 bit file (for CD burning), it’s important that every step of the production before that final master be at the highest bit depth your system is capable of. Here’s a video to that effect…
I started listening to tech muze about a month or so ago and I enjoy it a lot. It has a lot of great content to help you better understand mixing and offer a lot of tips for those of us interested in turning music playing and production into more than just a hobby. Dezz has a good ability to explain things so that anyone can understand. That is, IMO, the sign of a good teacher. You can tell he really loves what he does and he has a passion for teaching and helping others out.
This podcast has taught me so much about the music business. This podcast is a must for any serious musician who wants to professionally operate as a business.
Good info and perspective. However, the sound quality (particularly on some 'calls') hampers the range of environments it can be listened in. I find I often have to strain to hear people and my mind wanders.
Must listen with essential information for creating a career in music.
We already worked on APB (Artist Promiotion Blueprint) and got al our parts for this "Promotion Machine" in place. We are a welknown Celtic Band in the North of Europe for 21 Years now and now our Fans and Bookers are very glad with the valuable content we provide on many social media platforms and our new (WordPress) website. Thank you for your very helpfull online course!
I have been with Dezz for quite a time and followed his tutorial on youtube. It´s nice to have him on iTunes as well. If you take your mixing seriously, give it a try...
Hi guys, finally I’ve found what I was looking for a long time: a huge course to achieve a great sound. I’m a live sound engineering but as everybody knows it is quite different the approach between live and studio. That’s why I love this Academy! Great job! Really.
These podcasts are invaluable not just for the helpful information but because the informaton is so enthusiastically presented by Dezz and his guests.....It carries you along with your advancement!
Dezz is a great teacher to anyone interested in working in the audio/mixing/producing/song writing/creative field. I started listening to his podcast months ago and learned so much I signed up to be a part of the TechMuze Academy. Stream, listen, learn, and be inspired.
There is much more to Dezz than just mixing. Insights, new directions of action and thought to follow, relationships between he and others to provide perspective, and a style of passing the information on that is enthusiastic, friendly, digestible and inviting, so you know you’ll be back for more. This will not solve all of your questions, it may find you a bride, it will not magically make you something you are not, that’s what Zig Ziglar is for. What it will do, and in a way you’ll be inspired by, is give you some great places to expand your abilities and awareness’ from. I like him a bunch as you can see, and his content is good, but it’s Dezz that makes it even better.
The rating says it all. Beyond the typical “this guy knows his stuff” (which he does btw) this podcast makes even the most esoteric sound theory stuff accessible and interesting. You’d be doing yourself and your music a favour by checking this guy out. Keep it up man!
Highlights: Clear and to the point guidance on mixing. The specific topic was setting up tracks for mixing based on studio recordings (protool wav files). Deez is very experienced at “in the box” recording/mixing/production. Plenty of help flows from his discussion. He is a musician and it shows in how he mixes. Even without the video (on iTunes), Dezz is clear enough in his description to learn plenty from his discussion. I often listen to his podcasts at the gym. If I'm at home, I pop over to Dezz's blog and get the video. Deez has an “easy listening” style; sit back an enjoy – learn. Deez, thank you. PS – love that song.
Dezz, these podcasts are a valuable part of the Mixlessons.com, artistpromotionblueprint.com and the TechMuze academy !!! It is extremely helpful to see your principles that you teach coming together with the principles and techniques of other successful artists coming together in a multitude of useful examples that ***ARE WORKING*** in the real world today!!! Thank you Dezz!!!!!!
Dezz has a wealth of knowledge that he continues to share with the community. I always enjoy learning from him!!
Great podcasts! Very helpful material!

Just discovered this one and don't know how I'd missed it! Really informative and entertaining.
Dezz has a great analytical mind that allows him to break down the mixing process into a very understandable endeavour. This is a wonderful podcast. Keep it up Dezz!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!
3 episodes in and already loving this podcast. I'm glad I found it. Great for anyone starting out or already experienced in home studio recording and mixing. Keep up the good work!!!
Dezz has hit a home run with his podcast. Every musician needs to listen to this show.
Thanks for the helpful content. Time spent listening to this podcast is worthwhile!
I am especially enjoying the latest episode which analyzes each of the elements in the mix. Gonna give it another listen on mys studio monitors (as opposed to in my car) to really hear what's going on in the mix. Well done!
A terrific podcast. Educational and informative. Presented in an easy to follow and understandable way. Listen & learn! Great job Dezz.
This is truly the best way to learn all ins and outs of mixing. Dezz knows how to explain things in a way anybody can understand. This clear way of explaining convinced me to sign up for the Mixlessons online course! Thanks Dezz! Keep up the good work!
I love this podcast. Always interesting topics and highly thought-provoking. It's helped me to become a better producer and audio mixer. Thanks, Dezz!! You rock!!
I found Dezz on you tube and just fell into a whole new world of learning. And it led me to this techmuze podcast, which i must add is short sweet and really gets you thinking about a number of topics.but it doesn't end there. Techmuze.ca also connects you to a community of like minded others sharing ideas on our lovely art form. I really feel like any one could pick up some nice info from dezz and everything he's put together . Shout out to dezz, what's up bro
This podcast is incredibly awesome so much knowledge!!!! thank you so much for sharing
Dezz is very personable, easy to understand and well spoken. If you are interested in mixing, this is the podcast for you. He also delves into how to begin making money with your setup and how to think like your potential consumers. His day job is as a salesman in the recording section of a music store, so he gets to demo lots of stuff. He is a Logic user, but this doesn't get in the way of him getting his point across because he only references how he uses his program, as opposed to teaching you "how" to do what he is describing. He offers another site with a free intro to mixing with tracks available for you to download and mix. Think I will be trying that out.... Beware, he likes to say "chit-chat" a lot as well as a few other sayings, but it makes it fun when you turn it into a drinking game....
Just started listening to tech muze and it's been very entertaining and educational.
Who needs to pay $$$$$ going to recording school when you have people like Dezz to teach you the ropes. He's taking over the online education in recording and has made it easy and affordable. He is very easy to listen to and does not go about your head too much! Highly recommend to the recording enthusiasts!
Dezz has a great way of breaking down complex topics. Always fresh and interesting! Emily
Great show, really helpful a+++++
Dezz loves what he does, and you can really see that in his podcast. Very instructive.
This is a wonderful podcast for anyone who is interested in learning how to make better recordings. The production quality of this podcast is great and the host is very good at engaging his listeners and inspiring them to be better in this field. Overall, five stars!
