Your track isn’t finished after the mix. That’s where mastering begins.

In this Mastering Masterclass by Infirium you’ll learn about analog-style and corrective EQ, stereo imaging, saturation, multiband dynamics, loudness, and how to build an effective master chain.
We’ll also go through a full mixdown and production walkthrough, showing how a track evolves into its final master.
Whether you’re releasing your own music or want cleaner, louder, more professional sounding tracks, this class gives you the tools to get there.
