Advanced Mixing and Mastering Workshop

More Info

This course is all about workflow – and how a good mix and mastering job depends upon really good track preparation. In the first section of this 36-tutorial course you see how Mo gets himself organized.

Sloppy beginnings make for messy results, and that's why you first learn how to clean up your MIDI and audio to ensure that everything is totally tight – before you put on that final polish. This section also explores grouping related tracks to help organize, control and balance out instrumental sections.??In the section on MIDI, samples and effects processing, Mo explores perfecting lead, pad and other essential parts. Here is where you start to use some cool Rack Extensions to enhance the sonic musicality of your mix.

The final collection of tutorials is all about mastering. Here is where you conquer the all important mastering chain, sample rates and bit depth. But that's just the science. Mo also takes you on a listening adventure as he applies EQ, compression, reverb and other processing that takes your hard- earned mix and transforms it into an intensely loud and insanely professional sounding track.
