Top Recording Schools Add MiLaR to Curriculum

Educators tout Mix It Like A Record as indispensable teaching aid

Seattle, WA – Mix It Like A Record, a popular interactive mixing course authored by Grammy-winning engineer, mixer and producer Charles Dye and produced by Kagi Media, has been added to the curriculum at several well-known recording schools and colleges across the country, and is garnering endorsements from the music industry’s top educators as an excellent resource to teach the subject of mixing, a craft that at one time was seen as un-teachable.

“For years books and magazines have tried to convey the art of mixing,” said Chris Davie, Director of SAE Institute in Miami, engineer and mixer (Vince Gill, George Strait, Wynonna Judd, Trisha Yearwood). “Mix It Like A Record's format goes one step further by bringing the viewer directly into the mix with techniques, discussions and practice sessions. In our educational environment it’s the perfect resource.”
