An Engineer’s Dream: Achieve Mind-Blowing Recordings

This masterclass teaches you how to capture recordings like that!
Inside, you’ll learn how to record tracks that sound so pristine and powerful that, by simply pulling up the faders, you’ll already be 75% of the way to the final mix.

Adopt A Lightning-Fast Workflow
Have you ever wondered why it takes professional engineers only 1-3 hours to deliver a final mix, when most of us spend 8+ hours, or even days?
One thing we’ve already discussed is recording quality, which we’re covering in detail in this course.
However, there’s another factor at play.
These engineers have an insanely well-structured workflow, are using templates and shortcuts, which allow them to navigate the session at lightning speed, and focus on the big picture, instead of getting lost in technical details.
In this Masterclass, Darrell shows you how to utilize groups, busses, VCAs, and track templates, so you can focus on your creativity and mix fast without wearing out your ears.
Included: 3 Sets Of Professional Multitracks
If you want to become a Mixing Engineer that bands are begging to work with, the first step is to build an impeccable resumé.
However, turning mediocre homestudio recordings into pro-level mixes can be downright impossible.
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
With this course, you’ll receive 3 sets of multitracks by the amazingly talented band ‘Talk Time’
The musicianship on these songs is insane, and all of the tracks have been recorded by none other than Darrell himself.
