Mixing & Mastering Course
I’m currently in the planning phase for this course and haven’t finalized all the details just yet. However, if it takes place, it’s likely to happen around June or July.
During the course, we’ll practice mixing and mastering using one of the songs recorded at the studio. While we’ll have a laptop available for practice, I highly recommend bringing your own so you can revisit the project whenever needed.
At this stage, the course is estimated to span two days, with sessions lasting approximately 5–8 hours per day.

What You'll Learn
During this course, we’ll dive into the core techniques of mixing and mastering vocals, breaking down each step of the process to help you create a professional, polished sound.
Compression
Learn how to control the dynamics of your vocals for a balanced, professional sound. I’ll explain the purpose of compression, how to set attack and release times, and how to use ratio and threshold effectively to ensure your vocals sit perfectly in the mix without sounding overly processed.
Gating
Discover how to use a noise gate to eliminate unwanted background noise between vocal phrases. I’ll show you how to set the right threshold, attack, and release to ensure your vocals sound clean and natural while maintaining their energy and presence.
Limiting
Understand the role of a limiter in controlling peaks and ensuring consistent loudness. I’ll demonstrate how to apply it effectively to your vocals without causing distortion, helping you achieve a polished sound that’s ready for mastering.
Pitch Correction Tool
Explore how to use Auto-Tune or similar pitch correction tools to enhance vocal performances. I’ll teach you how to adjust key and retune speed for subtle corrections or creative effects, while avoiding overuse. Note: Manual pitch correction won’t be covered.
Equalizing
Master the art of EQ to shape your vocals and remove unwanted frequencies. I’ll explain how to identify problem areas, enhance clarity, and create space in the mix by boosting or cutting specific frequencies, ensuring your vocals shine.
De-essing
Learn how to tame harsh “s” and “sh” sounds in your vocals using a de-esser. I’ll guide you on how to identify problem frequencies and adjust settings for smooth, professional results without losing vocal clarity.
Using effects
Discover how to use reverb, delay, and other effects creatively to add depth and character to your vocals. I’ll demonstrate how subtle changes can elevate your mix while ensuring the effects don’t overwhelm the song.
