In the past we have featured pureMix Masterclasses held in studios around the world. This masterclass is different in that you won't need to travel anywhere as it will be conducted online.
Over the course of 2 weeks, you'll be given assignments and videos that will guide you step by step through the entire mixing process. The course will culminate with a live online masterclass where Grammy winner Fab Dupont gives the class feedback on their mixes and then shows how he would mix the song in addition to answering any questions you may have.
The goal of this course is to give your mixing skills a huge boost in a short amount of time and unlike other mixing masterclasses or seminars, for this course, you have to do the work! After the masterclass you'll have a chance to recall your mix, make tweaks and submit your final mix to complete the course.
Enrollment began yesterday and will finish on February 1st. Because of the interactive nature of this course, there are only 30 spots available (and two spots have been sold already at the time of writing) and the sooner you sign up, the sooner you can receive the stems and get to work putting together your first mix.
