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.
Our Miami classes for the Mixing & Mastering Class 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.
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.
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. Discover qualities that distinguish us, here.
“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.”
