Description
Maybe you’ve heard of mastering, and you know that it is something you should be doing to your tracks, but don’t know where to start. Maybe you know the basics, but you don’t understand the details. Maybe you know how to master a track by applying certain effects, but you don’t understand “why” it works. This class is designed to answer all of those questions and more.
At the core of it, audio mastering has one simple goal: to make your music as loud and clear as possible. We want to be sure your track sounds amazing on Spotify, on your car speakers, on your earbuds, in the studio, and everywhere else.
In this class we are going to go step-by-step through the complete mastering process. Giving you the how and the why of every process along the way.
100% Answer Rate! Every single question posted to this class is answered within 24 hours by the instructor.
This course is “5-Star Certified” by the International Association of Online Music Educators and Institutions (IAOMEI). This course has been independently reviewed by a panel of experts and has received a stellar 5-star rating.
DAWs:
In this class, I’ll be using Ableton Live, but if you are not a Live user – that is totally ok! I’ve gone to great lengths to make sure this class is useful to everyone, no matter which audio platform they are working with. So if you are a Logic user, FL Studio user, Cubase user, Bitwig user, Studio One user, Pro Tools user, or anything else – it will all work. You will be able to do all of the techniques that I walk you through in any audio application.
