Dueling Mixes:

\\n
    \\n
  • Dueling Mixes is for users who are comfortable with their DAW and want to go deeper into what the program can do. The site offers alternate mixes of the same song so the user can compare the two and see how different a single track can be mixed. They can also download the original track to mix the song themselves. Joe and his co-host Graham Cochrane create videos on how they mix the songs to give you insights into the process.

This goes back to knowing how long it takes you to accomplish something in order to accurately predict how long the process will take.
