5 DAY MIXING CHALLENGE LIVE COURSE
A complete step by step system for home studio producers to achieve commercially ready rock & metal mixes using free plugins or the ones you already have
This course is aimed at home studio producers who want to create professional, commercial-ready mixes but are working on a budget. This includes independent musicians, aspiring audio engineers, and DIY producers who prefer using free plugins or the ones they already own.
Also to hobbyists who enjoy creating music as a passion, students looking to gain practical skills in audio production or indie artists seeking to produce their own music without breaking the bank
This course will help home studio producers with lack of knowledge and skills to create professional-quality rock and metal mixes using free or readily available plugins.
One common misconception is: I don’t have access to expensive plugins or a professional studio, so I can’t create a mix that sounds commercial or professional. They may believe that without spending money on premium tools, they can’t achieve professional results.
Many are led to believe that expensive gear and paid plugins are the only way to get professional-quality mixes. There’s a widespread myth that free plugins aren’t powerful enough, which discourages home studio producers from fully leveraging the tools they already have.
Don’t over rely on presets and templates, neglecting the importance of understanding fundamental mixing principles and techniques.
Most people think expensive plugins are necessary to achieve great mixes, but in reality, many free plugins are capable of delivering pro-level results. Understanding your tools and mixing techniques are far more important than the cost of your gear. Your success comes from mastering the fundamentals, not from spending more money.
Through years of mixing experience, I’ve learned that simplicity and mastery of basic tools create the best results. Free plugins, when used properly, can compete with paid alternatives. The key is to focus on technique over gear, and that’s what my course emphasizes.
With 10+ years of experience in home studio productions and working with countless plugins (both paid and free), I’ve developed a streamlined approach to mixing rock and metal. My students and I have achieved radio-ready results using this exact method, proving that you don’t need expensive software to create professional mixes.
Announcing my 5-Day Rock and Metal Mixing Challenge! This is a step-by-step system that helps home studio producers achieve commercial-ready mixes using free plugins or the ones they already have.
This is a private live-streamed course on YouTube, delivered 2 hours a day over five days (from Sept 30th – Oct 4th 2024 at 12pm UTC-7 MST) in which I’ll be sending the proper reminders & messages to let you know about the schedules ahead of time.
Participants will follow along as I mix a song from scratch in real-time, with access to the same high quality multitrack files covering every step from setup & preparation to final polish of the mix.
Once the livestreams & challenge is finished these videos will be edited, arranged & uploaded some days later to a professional course platform where you will have access to them forever, you will never loose access to this step by step course.

The classes with Amner helped me a lot, I had no idea where to start the topic of production and he guided me in a very simple way. He solved all my doubts and they were many, He is a good teacher, very patient. I recommend his service if you want to enter in music production.

The approach that I had with Amner was to clarify many doubts and reinforce the little that I already knew by default as a professional. Amner has been a good friend for many years and now he is my production coach. He has been very patient and has a very natural and dynamic way of teaching. If you want to learn or reinforce what you already know, approach him without hesitate, besides, their rates are very accesible.

Amner Hunter.. Master!!! In a few sessions it makes the difference. Practical, direct & effective when it comes to sharing knowledge. If you are interested in jumping to the next level, either in terms of music production or your guitar skills, Amner is the one.
Germán Ávila
Guitarist (Hermosillo, Mexico)
The experience of my lesson with Amner over Zoom was totally amazing! He has so much knowledge in all aspects of music and is more capable of specifically addressing what one will need to improve dramatically in any aspect. Whether it be guitar tone, technique, how to deal with recording, mixing, mastering, and all the things like DIY musicians like myself do. I highly recommend a session with Amner and experience it for yourself. Also, he is the nicest guy ever, and showed genuine will to help. I assure you won't regret it, in fact you'll end up scheduling another session sooner than you think. 10/10
