About this course

This course takes you from a rough multitrack session to a polished, streaming-ready master. You will build practical skills in gain staging, EQ, dynamics, time-based effects, the stereo field, and mastering to platform loudness specs. Every technique is tied to named tools, specific frequency ranges, and measurable targets rather than vague advice.
