✅ Most well-kept Mastering Secrets revealed
We've all been there. You do all the right things but your masters still sound narrow, dull and lifeless.
🚫 Low end is distorted
🚫 Vocals are painful to listen to
🚫 Snares are flat with no punch
🚫 Mastering hits the right LUFS but sounds quiet!
Something is always missing: Proper mastering technique. No plugin can give you the perfect mastering - but with the right method you will be able to master with confidence every single time
Most online masterclasses are great but more often than not, they show mastering on a perfect-sounding mix that only needs a couple of adjustments.
Not helpful right?
I hear you 😉
In my courses, you will find techniques for TOUGH situations. Not ideal scenarios ✅
No matter how you want to approach mastering, I have the method for you. It's all about making the best out of the tools you own with proper technique, deep understanding of music and sound.
No, they won't. Not on their own.
In my courses, I demonstrate how you can achieve professional mastering results no matter what tools you use!
✅ Do you want to use only stock plugins in your DAW? No problem!
✅ Do you want to use more specialized plugins that are considered industry-standard? I got you covered?
✅ Do you want to master using analog gear and plugins in a hybrid setup? Oh yeah!
These chapters give you an overview of my own personal Cubase mastering template I've been using professionally. If you use another DAW these chapters will still be useful as most of the techniques I'm showing here can be applied to your own DAW

Yes you can! However this is the more advanced course I offer on Mastering. I would suggest you also check out the Mastering In-The-Box Masterclass and the Mastering In Cubase course.
No, certainly not! What I show in this mastering masterclass are techniques and workflows. You can apply them to any plugin or analog piece you own. Remember, it's not about the gear but about the skills!
You can work at your own pace. Binge-learn for 6+ hours or watch 15 minutes at a time- it's up to you!
The course is web, mobile, and tablet-ready. You can stream lessons on any device.
You will need a computer, a DAW, a pair of good headphones or monitors and lots of passion for Mastering ❤️
No, the techniques I show on this course can be applied on any DAW. However, if you own Cubase 13 Pro, you will be able to take advantage of my personal mastering template.
I am using the latest version of Cubase 13 Pro. This is the version I recommend you have if you want to be able to use all the tools I show.
I recommend that you have a very basic understanding of how a DAW works. This is a course on Mastering not how to use a DAW :)
Once you buy the course, you have full access to it forever. It's not a subscription.
