After the success of his best-selling launch day course ‘Introduction to Advanced Mixing’, Mark Maitland returns to Mixtank to provide an even more detailed look at his craft with the follow-up masterclass ‘Advanced Mixing & Mastering’. Weighing in at over four hours, Advanced Mixing & Mastering details the complete walkthrough of the mix and master process for the complex, vocal-driven pop/house track In Too Deep’ by Kapera & EMME on Enhanced Recordings.
Covering every step with an in-depth explanation, the accessible style that made Mark’s original course so well-received is at the core of Advanced Mixing & Mastering as Mark prepares the stems and tackles each element of the project’s complicated arrangement. Across 20 chapters, you’ll learn advanced mixing techniques and transferable skills including:
How to identify issues holding your mix back (and how to fix them)
How to shape and balance kick and bass elements to leave you with a tight, pumping mix that works on both the dance floor and streaming platforms
Using sidechain, multiband compression and automation to add transparency and clarity to your mid-range without losing ‘the vibe’
Hitting the sweet spot with vocals using de-essing and Oeksound Soothe2
How to add warmth using a practical application of master compression and saturation
How to find space for all elements including effects and one-shots without losing power
