This course teaches solid mixing concepts and the utilization of technology to enable students to develop their own creative approach to mixing. You should never waste time moving knobs randomly without understanding what you are doing. The principles in this class will equip you to use your mixing time efficiently and creatively and deliver good mixes consistently.
