This mixing and mastering curriculum is complete with lectures and explanations, and pdf notes you can refer back to. Students are encouraged to APPLY the concepts to a working production for personalized feedback before moving on.

Some topics covered:

• Calibration and Reference music
• Levels, Stereo field, Pre Mix prep
• Dynamics
• EQ
• Texture EFX and Send effects
• Mastering / Mix Check workflow

Jay-J’s goal is to instill a level of understanding that creates confidence, intention and deliberate adjustments for EQ's, Compressors, Reverbs, and some other tools we use daily while creating.  No more haphazardly turning knobs to maybe land on something you THINK sounds good, this course will have you thinking about a sound, dynamic, or texture treatment in your head and picturing the settings it would take to achieve the sounds you desire.

Spanning 10 hours this course gives you a good amount of lecture and discussion, about an hour and a half each lesson. You will apply first on your own, in between lessons referring to the notes and videos along the way, then we discuss and check the mix before moving on.
