The sessions are in 15 minute increments and are for asking questions or reviewing tracks you are working on, both assignments from the curriculum and personal music. These sessions are open to members to join and view to learn from watching the mentor sessions. Please read this doc carefully for full instructions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TWVySVsg6QyOED7G9CVf8HtwAxDWHRSzy5ggTMwm0wU/edit?tab=t.0 Hope to see lots of you on calls soon.

Is there/will there be a replay available for the Backstage Sessions?

Hey everyone, Hope you all enjoyed the holiday period, now it's time to get back to it! We're kicking off 2026 with a bang starting Monday, Jan 5th... With a brand new free virtual event called "The Mastering Makeover", hosted in partnership with Woodstock Audio. Over the span of 2 days, we'll master real attendee submissions while teaching professional mastering techniques along the way. You can submit your track for a live makeover, or learn by watching your others tracks get mastered. Either way, you'll learn how to diagnose problems, push back on mixes that aren’t ready, and make the transformational decisions that create release-ready masters.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ You can find the event here in the Skool calendar: https://www.skool.com/mastering/calendar?calDate=1767383608&eid=e476ab35774c42b098b291a9cea8d466&eoid=1767632400 Here is the link to submit your mix for live mastering (please upload a stereo WAV file, without a limiter applied): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfIcX0rOCjpMAwF4QR4h-qvo94XXzypR6YiHmdKrEiNgy_rng/viewform?usp=publish-editor (deadline 9am Eastern on Monday) Note, it is not guaranteed we will choose your track for the event, but anyone can submit. 🚨 ALSO - for the first time ever, we will be hosting a special "Backstage" session for Premium and VIP members. This will take place immediately after each day of the event, and is an opportunity for you to get 1:1 coaching (mic on, video on, DAW open if needed) and ask questions about the topic of the event, get feedback on your music, or anything else you need help with. If you're not already a member, be sure to upgrade here before the event starts to get Backstage access: https://www.skool.com/mastering/plans
