I actually love that you're not meant to follow the exact steps but rather be provided with multiple techniques that work based on your music genre. It all works perfectly and gives your this desired sense of awareness of what you're doing. Amazing course!

A good and oftentimes intuitive series but the video game music removed what could have been a very professional course. In my opinion, tutors should be wary of using their own music for demonstration purposes as they don't always mix (pun intended).

I found this course really helpful as a review of things to remember when mastering. I did Larry's course 'Mastering in Logic Pro X' last year at a time when I had only Logic stock plug-ins, and I got loads from that one. This course is more or less the same in its approach to mastering, but of course using the FabFilter plug-ins instead. At the time of writing this review, the versions of the plug-ins are the latest in the suite: Pro Q3, Saturn 2, Pro C2. A great series to watch for people who find the idea of mastering intimidating; and an excellent review course for anyone who's done mastering before, but wanting a refresher before doing it again - with the FabFilter plug-ins, obviously. One thing I was a little surprised by was the absence of Pro-DS even though there was one track with problem sibilant sounds. I would have liked to know why Pro-DS wasn't used as it would seem the most natural choice. Still, excellent educational material from Larry, as ever. Cheers!

This course will give you millions information about EQ, Comp, Saturation; which I never got from another course. It is not easy for newbie, and Fabfilter bundles is not cheap, but you can apply it for ios version which is cheaper while mastering song from an Ipad. Thanks a lot :)
