Studio One is a mixing and mastering machine and Gary Hiebner is here to show you all the tools that this Presonus DAW has buried deep in its vast audio toolbox...
Mixing and mastering is the secret sauce of any audio production. In this collection of tutorials you learn all about mixing and mastering "in-the-box" with Studio One. With its robust mixer and plethora of innovative plugins, Studio One can handle any genre of music you can throw at it!
This course takes you through the final stages of the production process where you learn all about the mix console, setting levels, pro audio processing, automation and side chaining as well as bus compression and very cool bus folders.
Once the track is mixed, Gary sets up a mastering project. This is where all of the songs in your album come together and are fused into a coherent collection. Here you are taken step-by-step through all of Studio One's mastering plugins. You learn about loudness. You also dive into frequencies and see how to use the very cool Spectral Meter. Gary also explains the all-important mastering plugin chain and how multi-band compressors and limiters are deployed to get that platinum audio sound! This course comes to a conclusion with a section on dithering, burning and sharing your beautifully mixed and mastered tunes!
It's time to start mixing and mastering with Studio One!
I thought the course was really good, as I am a beginner in mastering and also new to Studio One . The content and course lay out was really easy to follow and understand. Taking this course has tremendously helped me improve the sound quality of my cd . I highly recommend this to any beginner.

I found that trying to cover both Mixing and Mastering-within one set of tutorials-to be a bit overly ambitious. As a result, Plugins were explained less as they became introduced and other Studio One plugins didn't receive mention. Overall, this was a nice introduction to Mixing and Mastering and a great addition to Studio One's courses.
