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.
Our Miami classes for the Mastering Audio are small and hands-on, taught at our studio by producers active in the city's electronic, Latin and hip-hop scenes. If you would rather learn from home, the same sessions run live online with the same instructors and the same class size, using our specialist music collaboration software, Muse.
The techniques can be applied within any digital audio workstation.
Many learners these days prefer to use their own laptops on our courses for things like getting help customizing their set-up, and they have their project exactly as they left it in class to work on at home. So we made the course more affordable, but added a $75 supplement for learners who wish to hire an iMac loaded with software. Please ensure you book an iMac when you book your course if you need one. Controller keyboards, and headphones are provided for everyone.

“I came into the class with a good understanding of my DAW (Logic Pro X course here at Garnish) but minimal knowledge of mixing/mastering. I thought the class was a great supplement to the knowledge I gained from the Logic Pro X course. I never felt lost, and now know how to achieve a clean mix and master.”
