I remember mastering a mix for the first time... I was terrified of screwing something up.

Its took me hours to do one song.

Then I remember going to a mastering studio and watching a guy master my entire album in an afternoon! Some songs took a while but as the project progressed it got faster and faster until songs were getting mastered in minutes.

Looking over his shoulders helped take away the mystery and fear.
We basically had the same tools: EQ, Compression, and Limiting.
So what did he have that I didn't??

  • Knowledge

  • Experience

  • Taste

  • Confidence

So I began experimenting and trying things, I read tons of books and studied (aka listened too) great masters.
Eventually I got confident enough to master my own releases and I also began to offer mastering services in addition to my production work, and my clients loved my work!

The best part about making myself learn to master is that I am not scared anymore and I know what to expect from the process whether I master my music or not.

So I developed this course to give you the same experience I had when I was first starting out. You can do this too with the DAW you already have, no need to buy more stuff right now. Just try it!!

(P.S. This corse is taught in Logic but the concepts taught can be applied in ANY DAW)

What Students Are Saying!

"I have taken several of Kirk’s courses and have loved the hands-on immediately applicable principles that Kirk teaches. I’ve been working for 5+ years in Logic and never knew so many of these time-saving techniques! And Kirk explains fundamental tools like compression and EQ with great analogies that make what was ambiguous or intimidating become crystal clear and fun to use. Whether you’re a beginner producer or you’ve been recording and mixing for years, I’d highly recommend you check out Go Make Music! "
