Hi everyone! So happy to be a part of this group and hope to learn a lot and to share things I've learned in my short time of producing.

Mixes not translating from your DAW to your car? We call it the dreaded “car test”, and it’s plagued producers for decades. So why does it happen? As you may know, room acoustics play a massive role in our ability to hear mixes accurately. Without a dialed in room, your mixes will never translate from your DAW to the car without massive gaps in sonic quality, even if you're using studio-grade headphones. That’s why we’re partnering with our friends at Sonarworks and GIK Acoustics to host our very first "Fix-Your-Room" Challenge 🔥 We'll teach you: - How to build the perfect studio without a math or physics PhD - The correct way to position your monitor speakers in your room - Where to place your acoustic treatment (and why) - What treatment to use (and what to avoid) - Taking a room from good to great with room correction software - How to get your mixes & masters to sound EXACTLY the same outside your room as they do in your studio - no more car tests necessary The challenge kicks off on Monday, June 12th at 10am PST.

This month's Fix-The-Mix is going to be free to attend for members of this Skool group. We're going to mix and finish a track that’s never, ever been mixed before. Here’s the details: Artist → Spirit City Song → I know what I want Genre → Pop Rock And we’re going to perform: 1. A master (of the rough mix) 2. A heavy hitting mix to go back and fix the issues we identify 3. Then finalize the track for all platforms Each of these is on an individual day, where we’ll walk through each concept in depth… And you’ll walk away knowing exactly how to approach your next track. It's happening April 18th (Tuesday) → April 20th (Thursday) // 10am Pacific. Register here: https://go.mastering.com/free-challenge1681318244017?el=ftm-skool-12th-april See you there 💪 -Rob

Here's the track we worked on today! For those that weren't there for the ending I sent everyone off with an opera performance. I shamefully mispelled opera with an 'h' at the end...thus I give you "Oprah's despair". Some more we could have done with this but we decided to stick with what we showed you and nothing more! Just brought it up to listening level.

Which of these production techniques do you struggle with more? Answering this will help us focus our teaching for any future webinars for y'all! A) Compression B) EQ Comment below 👇👇👇
