Music Production 101
Just completed Music Production 101 Mastering. My first attempt at Mastering Music. With the training provided it went well. I felt that it sounded better than any other attempts at Mastering. Overall, I feel I had a good success. If anyone is just starting this maybe we could compare notes and how you felt about the course. I still need to purchase a camera for my computer. Any suggestions? Also, any suggestion on a good pair of headphones? I was looking at the VSX from slate but was unsure if that is what a beginner really needs. Happy Mixing all. That is where I am headed next to study🎧.

I will break from just about everyone else in the other recommendations. You are fooling yourself into thinking that you need the $1000 headphones at this stage. If you’ve just complete dead the 101 and with you saying you think it went well.. then I’d say you’d be far better off spending the money on a cheaper pair of ath50x and all the money just saved in a subscription to something like sound gym. Just because Rob and Caleb can afford the Olo’s doesn’t mean that those headphones will perform any better to an untrained ear that a pair of $75 headphones. consider Berlin RedLux. She is an incredible mentor with hypersonic hearing. She uses cheap ath50x and can pick up on sounds and zone right into where a fix is needed. It’s not the headphones but the training of her hearing to listen and hear. Nick has said. An amateur practises until they get it right, where professional practises until they can’t get it wrong. When you are at the professional level then you won’t be asking what you need to buy, you’d just go and get it.

@Steve Dunn my only other suggestion is. Save your work. Go to as many of the mentor calls (When they figure out how to let you see when mentors are booked in Skool). You will learn a whole load more in 6-7 months of actually listening to others work and mentors comment. Make music and then mix and master it, Then try am make it even better. After doing this for the 6-7 months the. Come back to the 101 and do it all over again. Then compare your work to what you’ve just done today and saved. You will see improvements you didn’t even know were possible. Learning is an evolution and you don’t know what you don’t know. After watching for long enough you can start to appreciate the subtleties and expand your understanding so you know what you now need to learn so you can continuously grow

@MooN Anas the other option is to have friends who live close by. St. Cat. best place to get peaches when they are in season.

@MooN Anas maybe when the winter is over I will drive around to your side of the lake and visit. I remember when that was a 20min trip.. but now with the trucks and traffic it’s a good 1 plus on a good day

@Rob Cooney it sort of is. For me I can see where the mentors have blocked their time but not what has been filled with actual students. If you click on the mentor it will give you a link to calendarly (or however it’s spelled) where you can see all the mentors and what calendar openings they have in the future, but the today view is blocked. So I don’t think there is a method to really get if / when a mentor will have a call that you can sit in on and watch like you do on the old system. But I am sure there will be some system to figure it out. If you are not seeing any mentors then it’s likely that your account is yet to be manually updated back to VIP. It’s mostly all the same in a new user interface with some things added, other things changed and well all learn how to get around the new system in no time I’m sure.

Kontakt 8 in the modern studio
I started off my music journey with the free stuff that Native Instruments gave some 10+ years ago. I didn't buy the thousand+ dollar Komplete software back then, and after playing and getting nowhere I gave up and did other things. Now ive been making music for the past couple of years. I do own some Native Instruments software purchased, and even a S61 keyboard. But most of my music seems to come from other plugins from Arturia, SoundPaint, AAS, UVI I have looked at the deal with Native Instruments that will likely end real soon is quite good for Komplete15 as I have some of the apps. Funnily they give you a better discount for owning a cheap A series keyboard and nothing with the S. I look at what the Komplete offers and mostly it's a bunch of Kontakt libraries and some synths that I already own. ( like Massive and Massive X, FM8 ). so it seems rather pointless to buy that as I don't really need the sounds that come with Standard. Where I am more interested is with the one program that I don't have that seems to be a central part. Kontakt. I have the play version that works with a bunch of the free libraries and function. What does the FULL version bring to the table that would be worth while? The software regularly goes for $380cdn but if I can get a promotion for $99 it might be worthwhile if it does something worthwhile. I am interested in moving towards writing more symphonic music and adding orchestra sounds into my music. I know that to get serous I will need to purchase some of the better libraries that are out there. Most of them I think will run on play but I am not totally sure, I have heard there are lots of free libraries for Kontakt that require the full license but I don't know if that has really changed or if they are worth the cost of the software. Any help is appreciated.

@Per-Gunnar Ström thanks for reminding me about Decent. I looked at that a year or so ago and then deleted it. its sure come quite a ways and there now are quite a number of decent libraries out there. I think I have answered my own question with the lingering hesitation to spend the $100 for Kontakt. I get that feeling its going to be a plugin that is there and really never get the full advantage of
