@Pierce Hale I checked out the Jan 26 Mentor call out of curiosity to see what they were actually like, and I wasn't expecting to be in tears. It's beautiful, really very beautiful and the conversation you had with the tutor. I didn't know it would be that sort of atmosphere in the mentor calls. You have a lovely friendship with Berlin. I lost my Mum when I was 17 and I just think this is incredibly beautiful, heartfelt music. Congratulations. I'll go and hunt down your song on the platforms :) No need to respond, just wanted to leave you some praise. 👍

We’re going to film a video called “mix trick or trash?” for YouTube. Well read out a common mixing tip, then each vote if it’s a great trick, or total trash. What are the most controversial mixing tips and tricks you can think of that we could cover?

I just got an email through from SSL about their new AI based dynamic plugins, link to the EQ here autoEQ and was wondering if anyone had either any experience of these or any thoughts on the use of AI in the mixing process, I am guessing that the plugin learns how you do things and then gives suggestions on how to improve what you currently have, I have had a lot to do with inference based learning in the past and not found the models created to be that effective so I am not sure if this will be any better, anyhow I will install the evaluation's and give them a go.

Hey everyone, Excited to announce that we're hosting a free event this Friday called "The Successful Home Studio". On this exclusive Zoom webinar you'll learn directly from Mastering.com alumni about how they have reached a professional level in their production, mixing and mastering skills. They'll be sharing their stories and best tips for how you can make fast progress with your music in 2026, and finally make the leap to industry-standard quality. This event will also act as an open day for anyone interested in our flagship program, The Reverse Engineer. It's your chance to learn more about how it works, what the day to day is like, the admissions process etc. Plus, we'll be sharing the details of a special New Year package for anyone who joins The Reverse Engineer before the end of January. It's a higher level of hands-on help than anything we've ever done before, so if you're thinking about joining anyway, be sure to come along to find out more. The Successful Home Studio takes place on Friday, January 16th, at 9am Pacific / 12pm Eastern Time / 5pm UK / 6pm Central European time.
