Mastering is simple. Not easy, but simple.

That's the message behind this series of 6 video tutorials I made recently for Sound On Sound magazine.

In them, I walk you through my entire mastering process from beginning to end, explaining how and why I work the way that I do at every stage.

Topics include:

 
The un-mastered mixes in the videos are from Mike Senior's superb Cambridge Music Technology site - and you can download the same files for free to experiment with yourself, or even the full multi-tracks, if you like. For more information, click here.

I'm using Steinberg's Wavelab for my mastering and in these videos, but the same techniques and strategies can be used in any digital audio workstation.

And if you find the videos helpful, you might also like my free Home Mastering Guide - it's a simple PDF that makes a great companion to the videos, describing the six simple steps to releasing your music with complete confidence. It's 100% free, and you can get your copy here.

I hope you find the videos helpful, or interesting !
