COURSE DESCRIPTION

Mixing and mastering course at EUMES

We often think that by watching tutorials on YouTube and learning the top 10 most used tricks, our songs will sound great, but the reality is different: We have to understand in detail the tools that make these processes of dynamics, compression, saturation, mixing, etc. possible. Then apply it creatively to our songs.

Through this concept-focused ( in the box ) mixing and mastering course, you will learn and master the techniques and tools that will allow you to make the right decisions so that your work sounds with professional quality .

We could define mixing and mastering as the final creative processes within music production. Mixing allows the elements to interact and communicate with each other, achieving definition and positioning; while Mastering should ensure that the whole thing sounds correctly on any device and is comparable to other commercial productions of the same genre.

We will go straight to the advanced techniques that you need to break out of that sound quality limit where you are stuck, you will obtain a more objective criterion to improve and perfect your mixes according to your style and needs. You will master analog and digital tools that professional studios use, practicing with real projects, and you will notice an abyss of difference in sound quality, a before and after through practice.

Of course, we will guide you step by step to mix and master your own projects, matching that sound you were looking for in a reference track, mixing any style and reaching the quality of industry standards.
