Audio mixing & production tuition

Using Cubase, you will learn mixing, production techniques, and the secrets of mastering so you can produce commercial quality recordings from your home studio.

All lessons are inside the box, that means you will learn fundamental skills that can apply to any digital audio workstation: Cubase, Pro Tools, Logic, Reaper, etc.

In our 1 to 1 sessions we will use commercial recordings, learning how to craft a mix based on a strong foundation.

Once complete, we’ll compare with the commercial release!

Individually tailored tuition is also available for students studying SQA Music Technology courses.

    FAQ

    This depends on a number of factors, but generally, a good basic mix can be achieved in 6 x 1 hr lessons.

    All lessons use Cubase with a mix of stock plugins, and 3rd party plugins from UAD, Slate, Waves, Izotope, and Brainworx.

    All equipment is provided, however, it is useful to have your own setup at home. The biggest part of mixing is practise!
