What this is about

Most mixes do not fail for lack of plugins, they fail for lack of order. This course gives you that order: from levels and balance through EQ and compression to space and mastering.

How the course is built

Five modules, each building on the last. Every lesson has one clear goal and ends with the key points to read back. After each module you apply what you learned to a song of your own.

What you need

Basic knowledge of your DAW and a song you want to work on. No special plugins are required - everything in the course works with the tools your DAW already ships with.
