How to Book a Mentor Check-in
If any of you are having trouble booking check-ins, or are new to Mastering.com Membership, we've put together a new document that walks through the process of booking a session. (Standard and Premier Members can upgrade to VIP at https://skool.com/mastering/plans to receive Check-ins and access to other benefits) As a VIP member, you can book one Check-in session per calendar month for one on one mentoring. 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.
Recommended Reverbs? I still haven’t found…what I’m looking for…
Is there a reverb I am not aware of that has what I need on it? Patching everything here with two or more and I just need one maybe? So far tried magic 7, reaper stock, reverb from the reverb company . Venn audio too. Any recommendations appreciated. May just not be aware of a workaround. Thanks.
Saturation in GARAGEBAND and BANDLAB
Hi everyone — I’m teaching beginner production students about the vocal chain, and I’ve been using parts of your EQ and compression videos as teaching material. They’ve been incredibly effective — my students really started to hear what those tools are doing, so thank you for that. Now I’m moving on to saturation, and I’d love some advice from the community on how best to teach this concept at a beginner level. Here’s my challenge: Many of my students are working in GarageBand or BandLab (free version), where there isn’t a plug-in explicitly labeled “Saturation.” Instead, we’re relying on Overdrive or Distortion plug-ins and using them very subtly to achieve a saturation-type effect. I'm going to emphasizing that: - Saturation is about harmonic richness and warmth, not audible distortion - Less is more, especially for vocals - If you can clearly hear distortion, it’s probably too much That said, saturation feels more abstract to students than EQ or compression, and I want to make sure I’m explaining it in a way that clicks — especially when the tools don’t look like what they see in professional DAWs. Could you give me some advice on - How do you explain saturation in simple, musical terms? - Do you recommend introducing it early in the vocal chain, or waiting until students have stronger ears? - Any tips for demonstrating saturation effectively when using overdrive/distortion instead of dedicated saturation plug-ins? Appreciate any insight — I want to make sure I’m setting my students up with solid fundamentals without overwhelming them. Thanks again for all the great educational content.
