Many musical artists find themselves at a hurdle when it comes to making their recorded tracks sound professional. The aim of my course is to provide students with the knowledge and understanding they need in order to properly mix and master their music, finishing tracks to a professional standard and making them ready for release. Audio needs to be treated in specific ways to make it sound clean and ready for the radio, streaming sites, CDs and more. I will take you through every essential aspect of mixing and mastering audio, including (but not limited to): - Software and plugins. - Gain staging and preparing stems for mixdown. - Compression and EQ. - "Bussing" techniques and instrument arrangement. - Effect chains. - Layering. - Creating width, warmth and richness. - Essential tips and tricks. This course is ideal for both beginners looking to get started with mixing their music, and for people with a prior understanding of the craft who need additional information and advice to get their music finished to a professional standard. This course can be taught effectively in person or remotely.
