Francois – Module 4 – How to Mix a Track with the Best Plugins Available

Description:

This course is set up so that you learn how to mix your own production from A to Z.

This minimalistic approach is taught by Guido Werner from Catandbeats and MixMasterYou. He will teach you all about different types of compressors, when to use which, how to listen, how to setup a file that practically mixes itself, reverbs, delays and the mastering process. If you ever wanted to sit next to an engineer while he does his thing this is it.
