Our Mastering Course is designed for today’s multi-genre modern engineer.  While being completely focused on mastering “in-the-box” (in a computer), we provide you with the ability to achieve that commercial sound through the understanding of various analog circuits and effect processors.  You will leave with a fully mastered track, and all the steps to continue improving and forwarding your abilities for years to come.

The techniques can be applied within any digital audio workstation, which learners are required to bring with them. Classes are available in-person or LIVE Online.
