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.
In Barcelona the Mastering Course runs as a small in-person class at our studio, taught in English by producers active in the city's electronic music scene, with the option to attend live online, using our specialist music collaboration software, Muse. Students join us from across Spain and the rest of Europe.
The techniques can be applied within any digital audio workstation, which learners are required to bring with them. Classes are available in-person or LIVE Online. Discover qualities that distinguish us, here.
“I have taken about 3 mixing courses online and learned something from each. This by far was the most helpful because it tied everything together and having a hands-on approach is the best. The instructor was super enthusiastic and patient as well. For the price and being a one week full session, nothing else compares.”

Read →How to place instruments across the stereo field, why the low end stays centred, and how to avoid phase cancellation and masking.
Read →Mid is what the two channels share, side is what they do not. Splitting a mix that way lets you treat the centre and the edges separately - and it is the most common professional move that never appears in a beginner's mix.
Read →The whole mixing process, condensed: zeroing the desk, subgrouping, panning, using your ears, and where ambience fits in.
Read →We have discussed the most common modulation effects such as chorus, flanging and phasing. Now it is time to investigate other modulation effects.
