Mixing & Mastering A Future Bass Track From Start To Finish

Masterclass – Mixing & Mastering A Future Bass Track From Start To Finish

We asked our friend and professional Mixing Engineer Guido Werner to take our template “Shipwrecked” (which was produced using only Ableton stock effects and Serum) and perform a professional mixing and mastering on it.

We granted him the freedom to use all his favorite VST Plugins for this purpose. We only had one condition: Record, explain and comment on everything you do while working on this project – and that’s exactly what he did.

Now you have the chance to join in and look over his shoulder – this class is fire!

What you are getting

✓ A complete start-to-finish mixing and mastering course, watch all tutorials at your own pace, as many times as you want and then use the techniques for your own music.

✓ 25+ Studio sessions with Guido / Cat&Beats

✓ 5h+ online video sessions with lifetime-access

✓ Bonus: Ableton Projects, before and after, used in this course (using Ableton Live 10 Suite).

What you you will learn from this course

This course is set up so that you learn how to mix your own production from A to Z. The project has one goal and that is to make a professional, in the box, mix. This Masterclass is taught by Guido Werner from CatAndBeats and MixMasterYou. He will teach you all about different types of compressors, when to use which, how to listen, how to setup a file that practically mixes itself, reverbs, delays and the mastering process. If you ever wanted to sit next to an engineer while he does his thing this is it.

This course will take you through:

✓ How to listen before mixing
✓ Identify the right song-part to start mixing
✓ Kickdrum eqing
✓ Layering snare drums
✓ Using send effects properly
✓ Bus compression
✓ Mixing instruments
✓ Editing vocals
✓ Using saturation & distortion to add upper harmonics
✓ Filtering, eqing, envelope shaping
✓ Layering and sound stacking
✓ Correctly use groups, send effects and audio while mixing
✓ Two us processing
✓ Fixing according to feedback
✓ Mastering

The epic fusion of emotion, creativity, dynamics, and energy has just risen out of the ashes in the form of Preston & Roland! This duo pulls together the best of both worlds in a seamless collaboration.

The emotional pop genre has taken the world by storm. Contributing to the storm, the sample pack Out Of The Ashes is full of inspiring and elevating royalty free vocals.

Inside Out of the Ashes you will find a variety of songs with varying flavours of emotional qualities; triumphant, optimistic, passionate, romantic, and psychologically deep. Many of the songs are sang with different levels of intensity so that in Verse 1 you can use a softer verse, and after the second drop you can use a higher intensity verse to help amplify your music story telling. Building energy over time is a great way to give an audience a cathartic experience and many of these songs are designed to do just that. The pack contains verses, choruses, harmonies, and adlibs so you can construct a well rounded song.

Every other pack is “fire” but this pack is something creative and new it’s what is birthed from the fire. Go get Out of the Ashes now and bring something fresh to your productions!
