Music Production and Mixing Tips for Beginner Producers | Inside The Mix

How do you make your mixes sound professional as a beginner? What’s the real difference between mixing and mastering? And do you actually need expensive gear to produce great music at home?


Inside The Mix is the podcast for beginner and early-career music producers, as well as hobbyist musicians, who want clear, practical answers to the most common questions in music production and mixing music. Each episode breaks down real-world techniques used in audio engineering, helping you improve clarity, balance, and confidence in your mixes — even in a home studio.


You’ll learn how to:

  • Make your mixes sound professional as a beginner without overcomplicating your workflow
  • Fix common problems like muddy mixes, weak low-end, and poor translation
  • Understand the difference between mixing and mastering — and when you really need each
  • Build a reliable production process using tools you already own


Hosted by Marc Matthews, Inside The Mix goes beyond generic beginner tutorials. Expect insightful interviews with industry-leading engineers and producers, listener-focused round-table critiques, and practical coaching designed to accelerate your progress. Past guests include Grammy Award-winning professionals such as Dom Morley (Adele) and Mike Exeter (Black Sabbath).
