About this course
Not for beginners. You should have at least one year of experience in music production, and a good working knowledge of mixers, signal flow, effects, equalisation, compression.
Each student is required to bring one of their own mixing sessions so that it can be used to apply some of the techniques discussed in the course.
With no more than five participants per course, you are actively coached and given advice based on your interest and level of experience.
This isn't the usual passive masterclass where someone mixes a perfect song making it look easy; here you learn by being involved as we work on your own project, and by playing the role of mix engineer for other people's multitracks. The focus of this course is not just equipment but the mindset that drives your creative and technical approach to mixing and mastering, answering the question “what would a professional engineer do that I have not been doing until now?”
