FAQ
What equipment do I need for the course?
- Required:
- Laptop/desktop computer
- Headphones or speakers
- Recommended:
- A DAW like Logic, Ableton, Cubase or Pro Tools
Can I do the course on my phone?
No, the course requires a laptop or desktop. We have considered making the course work on phones, but it is very difficult to fit the mixing UI on such a small screen, and it would be even harder to make a good learning experience.
Therefore, we focused our efforts on making the course really good on big screens.
(You can still read text and look at images on your phone.)
What tools and concepts will I learn?
Check out the course page!
If you hover the cards, you can see all the things we cover in detail.
I have never made music on a computer before. Can I still do the course?
Yes. You don't need to know anything about digital music production to do the course.
However, to get the most out of the course, we recommend that you have a DAW (like Logic, Ableton, Cubase) installed, and that you work through our real-life exercises where you apply what you've learned to your own music.
Take this as an opportunity to get started working on your music on the computer!
Will you cover all the effects used in mixing?
No. We intentionally focus only on the _most important_ effects and the most important knobs on those effects.
The most important thing is to be really solid on the fundamentals. When you have the fundamentals down, you'll find it pretty easy to learn about more advanced functionality. There are a lot of resources for learning about the details on the internet.
I've already released some songs I made on the computer. Will I get anything out of the course?
Probably! You'll probably enjoy the exercises. They've been useful and enjoyable for people who already know the mixing concepts. You'll also learn some useful techniques, such as boost and sweep.
That said, this course is mainly for people who feel like they don't know what to do when it comes to mixing.
