Before teaching mixing, I worked directly with artists around the world - here’s what they had to say.

5-Star Rating

"Laura really took my tracks to the next level. Amazing to work with and always happy to assist with any adjustments/updates to the mix. Turnaround time was great also. I would highly recommend to all artists out there!"

- Hearts In Beta

5-Star Rating

"Laura's course was a turning point in my music, not only in my mixing but also in my composition. For the first time, I paid attention to details I'd never noticed before, improved my melodies and rhythmic patterns, and had fun!"

- Montse Torres

5-Star Rating

"I am absolutely thrilled with the mix! The drums are dynamic and vibrant. I love the new resonant kick, the updated snare with perfect reverb, and how you brought the hats out. The lead update adds a "dreamy" feel, while keeping it clear and wide. I also appreciate how you wrangled the side melodies to the perfect accompanying volume. There's a new sense of depth and the song is just so much more smooth. You are a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend your services! Thank you so much, Laura!"

Meet Your Instructor

Laura Dre

Music Producer & Mixing Mentor helping indie artists turn DIY tracks into release-ready bangers - after turning my own music into $75K+ in indie income.

Hi! I’m Laura Dre - synthpop artist, solo producer, and your mentor through this 14-level journey.

I started producing music in 2004 with zero gear and even less knowledge. Fast forward: I earned a First-Class BA in Music Production, launched my solo career, and released Moving Spaces - made entirely on a budget setup.

💡 But even after that success, I was broke.

So I took control:

I ran crowdfunding campaigns, sold on Bandcamp, launched merch, and turned my music into a real income - over $75,000 as a truly indie artist (with under 2k Instagram followers and no corporate backing).

🎛️ No fancy studio. No gatekeepers. Just systems that work.

That’s why I created The 14-Level Mix Quest™ - the course I wish I had when I started.

No fluff. No jargon. Just real mixing skills to bring your music to life.

As one of the few female producers in a male-dominated space, I know what it means to carve your own path. I’m not just teaching this - I’m living it!

This course is your launchpad.

And when you’re ready to go further, I’ll show you how to build a career, grow your brand, sell your music, and crowdfund your next vinyl release - without needing $4K+ upfront.

If you’ve ever felt stuck wondering where to even begin - this is your sign to start.

  • You don’t enjoy learning through Logic Pro walkthroughs

  • You aren’t willing to follow a structured path and prefer to figure things out by trial and error.

  • You want someone else to mix your music for you, instead of learning how to do it yourself.

  • You think good music only comes from expensive gear, a big studio, or a record label.

  • You’re not ready to take action and want someone else to build your career for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What skill level is this program for?

The 14-Level Mix Quest™ is designed for beginners to intermediates, whether you're mixing your first demo or you've been making music for a while but still feel unsure about your mixes. You don’t need a degree, fancy gear, or perfect ears. If you're serious about making your music sound better and you're ready to follow a clear path, you’re in the right place.

What happens right after I join?

You’ll get instant access to Level 1 & 2 and the community, plus early-access emails for each new level.

How long do I have access to the program & when does it start?

Once you join, you’ll get lifetime access, including all future updates. The course is self-paced, so you can start whenever you’re ready and go at your own rhythm, whether that’s daily, weekly, or binge-style over a weekend.

Is the full course unlocked from the start?

Not just yet - think of it like a game in early access! You’ll get the first few levels (core videos) right away so you can dive in and start mixing. Then, each week, I’ll drop new content to keep your momentum going. Since this is the pre-launch, you’re getting in early, snagging a sweet deal, and helping shape the course as it evolves. Power-ups (aka new lessons) will be added weekly and you’ll get notified every time something new drops!

Can't I learn all of this on YouTube?

You can - but you’ll probably waste months or even years piecing together random tips that don’t connect. The 14-Level Mix Quest™ is different: it’s a structured, no-fluff path that actually builds your skills step-by-step, with clear results. No ads, no clickbait, just a plan that works.

What makes this different from courses on Udemy or Skillshare?

Most courses on those platforms are cheap for a reason. They usually offer short, disconnected modules that cover tiny parts of the bigger picture, often taught by different instructors with conflicting approaches. It’s like trying to solve a puzzle with pieces from different boxes.

The 14-Level Mix Quest™ is a complete journey through the fundamentals of mixing, from start to finish!

You’re not piecing together random tips. You’re following a clear, structured path led by one real-world artist (that’s me!) who’s done it all independently.

This course connects everything into one system, from mindset to workflow to mixing techniques, so by the end, you’re not just learning:

You’re actually finishing songs that sound great.

How is this different from other mixing courses?

Most mixing courses either drag on forever, dump you into dry lectures, or assume you already know what you’re doing.

The Audio Arcade was built specifically for beginners, synth artists, and bedroom producers who want to mix smarter - not harder.

Instead of generic tutorials or endless subscriptions, you get a clear 14-level mix quest, fun gamified progress, and a system that actually shows you how to go from muddy demo to release-ready mix - fast.

Spoiler: You won’t find any mix bros, outdated DAWs, or $297 price tags here.

What if I get stuck on something during the course?

No worries - you’ll have access to the private student community where you can ask questions anytime. Whether it’s a tech issue, mix decision, or just needing a second pair of ears, either I or another student will jump in to help. You’re not doing this alone.

Do I need to have fancy gear / expensive plugins / a treated studio before starting?

Nope. All you need is a basic DAW (like Logic, Ableton, FL Studio, etc.), a pair of headphones or speakers, and the willingness to learn. The course was created using real-world examples with minimal gear, so you can make your music sound great, even from a bedroom setup.

Should I invest in The 14-Level Mix Quest™ before investing in gear / mastering / vinyl / a website?

Yes, because your mix is the foundation. Great mastering, gear, or vinyl won't fix a weak mix. Once you know how to craft a strong mix on your own, everything else becomes more effective (and affordable). This is the best investment you can make to actually sound like the artist you want to be.

What if I don’t finish in 14 days?

No worries! The “14-day” structure gives you a focused path, but you can move at your own pace. Whether you take 14 days or 14 weeks, you’ll still build the same skills. No pressure, no expiry dates.

Will this work for my genre?

Yes! The 14-Level Mix Quest™ teaches fundamentals that apply to all genres - from synthpop to singer-songwriter, indie, rock to lo-fi, hip hop etc. If you’re an artist making music in a DAW and want your tracks to sound clearer, fuller, and more intentional, this course will help you get there.

Does this course cover automation and advanced mixing techniques?

The 14-Level Mix Quest™ is a foundational course designed to help you build strong habits and core skills, like EQ, compression, gain staging, and workflow. It’s perfect for beginners or those wanting to reset their mixing approach.

If you’re looking for advanced techniques like automation, pitch/time correction, vocal shaping, mastering, and detailed FX chains, you’ll love my upcoming Pro-Level Mixing Course, launching in 2026! It’s designed as the next step after completing The 14-Level Mix Quest™ - more comprehensive, more detailed, and focused on getting your mixes release-ready at a professional standard.

What if I’m not happy with the course?

Then I’ll refund your gold. Seriously.

If you’re not leveling up within 7 days after purchase, email [email protected] - no questions asked.

I want you to win, and I stand by everything I teach.

Still got a question? Pop it in the private community and either I or another student will help out.
