Is there something missing from your mixes that stops them sounding professional? Do you understand the basics, but can’t quite elevate your finished product to the required level? If you’re looking for a way to lend your mixes the depth, punch and clarity they deserve, your search is over! Learn all you need in a nurturing environment of small classes where the art of high-end mixing and mastering is finally revealed.
Today’s modern music market means your mix has to stand out to gain recognition. Our mixing and mastering course will teach you both classic techniques and newer, cutting edge tricks and tips used by those at the forefront of the industry. We have a superior roster of instructors waiting to share their skills and knowledge to guide you to be able to create your own finished masters. You could save a fortune by removing the need to hire someone else to do these jobs for you!
You get 36 hours of class time, including some focussed Q&A with your instructor and also with like-minded fellow students who are looking for the same things you are. There’s nothing like learning under these conditions, where you can learn even more from the different viewpoints of the other creative minds sharing the room with you. Mixing is as much about perspective and choices as technology, and in these sessions you will all listen and feedback on mixes in an acoustically-treated studio to further your understanding and appreciation of the artform.
It doesn’t matter what DAW you favour, or PC or Mac - the skills and principles of mixing and mastering are fundamentally the same. We supply extensive notes for the course that cover everything that’s on the syllabus. These have been put together by the developers of our course.
On the course, students will get to use Fabfilter, a piece of third-party software that runs on all popular DAWs. It’s not essential for students to own this if using Pro-Tools, Ableton or Logic but here at Garnish we do heartily and thoroughly recommend it. Better yet, if students do wish to own it, as a Garnish learner you qualify worldwide for a healthy 50% discount.
You can save more money if you bring along your own laptop to the course, too (we’ve made space for that). However, if you’d like to hire one of our fully-loaded new iMacs, it’s only an additional $75. Simply add the supplement at the time you book the course to ensure you have a machine reserved. We’re always able to supply controller keyboards, audio interfaces and headphones as required, too.
As a bonus, all Garnish learners are able to catch up if they miss a session, and normally on the cycle you first choose. The same applies if you’d like to repeat some aspect (or even all) of your course. We like to leave our door open for Former Garnish learners.
“The instructor was amazing. To be able to learn mixing and mastering in 36 hours is unbelievable!”
