What You Can Expect From This Course
In this course we will tackle all the problems during mixing and mastering, you might not know that you are facing.
Picture this, you made an incredible track that you are genuinely proud of. You realised your own unique vision of the song, created sick basslines and thought your tune had a good flow but it doesn't receive the attention you were hoping for.
Maybe your beat isn't quite danceable, because the awesome bassline you have designed isn't side-chained properly and the kick cannot provide the impact your track needs.
Perhaps your instruments are sitting in the same frequency band or getting muddy due to lack of stereo field in your mix. This course will teach you proper EQing and panning techniques to improve the clarity of the melodic elements in your track.
You listen to your track in comparison to others but you find that yours is way quieter and maybe not loud enough to compete with everybody else's. In the included lessons you will learn how to find the balance between saturation, compression and limiting in order to get a loud mix that isn't clipping or distorting.
You may be thinking to yourself that you will learn all these things from free tutorials online. But this course will save you the time and effort to search the internet for quality, in-depth explanations that don't just cover the same boring basics that you already heard of but don't know how to actually implement in your next song.
With the help of Will you will learn all the pro techniques in 16 coherent and easy-to-follow modules.

I wish I had taken Ghosthack's Mixing and Mastering Course when I first started producing music. It would equate to well over a year of me experimenting, researching, reading and watching tutorials.

The course covers all the techniques that you need to know that will easily elevate your sound and getting it sound professional.
Jacob (Gemini Music), Music Producer
It's very informative even for someone who has been mixing professionally in studios, in their bedroom, or whereever! It's good to go back, look at the basics, see why you are doing what you are doing if you have been doing it for a while. It gives you a good example of why your mixes might not be popping out and aren't as strong as other mixes that you listen to on Spotify or Apple Music. So, yes! Go check out the Mixing and Mastering Course from Ghosthack - you won't be sorry!
John Winters, Drummer and Music Producer
After starting the course I can tell a really big difference in not only my sound but me and my confidence as an artist! The course has answers to so many questions that I've had like why do some of my sounds sound louder when they are the same level on the tracklist. I learned how to let vocals sit better in the mix. I'm just thankful for this opportunity to learn with a group as knowledgeable as Ghosthack and I appreciate it!
