Part 1

Mixing — From Raw to Pro

A mixing course made by a composer, for composers. I'm not a sound engineer — I'm a composer who has mixed his own music for 15 years, broadcast-ready for prime time (TF1, Arte, HBO Max, ZDF, 100+ films and series). Not studio theory: the exact method to make a project sound great in-the-box and get it on air — levels, EQ, compression, reverb, automation and pro finishing.
