Been away for a while. I’ve had motivational issues. I felt like giving it all up and just becoming a couch potato. lol! I have made up my mind and I will not let that happen. Welcome back home motivation!!! Let’s start making music that’s alive again!!! Here is a fresh, new original fresh from the command post!

I was just perusing Facebook. My vertical feed included a pitch ad from Seids. She’s hawking the Mixing & Mastering Cheat Sheet Binder. Get it by signing onto her website. And if you want to pick up a ton of Logic tips and methods, buy her book. Sabrina really knows her stuff. She has a ton of instructional YT vids too. She just recently published a Logic for iOS book.

I have a free plugin to give away for all Premium Members today! The plugin is BASSROOM by Mastering the Mix (usually $79). This is a really unique and fun plugin for EQing your low end - it sounds great too. "When your low-end is muddy or weak, your entire mix suffers. BASSROOM shows you exactly how to shape it, for low-end that hits hard, sounds clear, and translates across every system." Moving forward, we're going to try and get a free plugin every month for you guys as a perk for being a Premium Member. (If you're not a Premium Member yet, you can upgrade here to instantly unlock the free coupon code. The cost for a month of membership is a lot less than what the plugin would cost you to buy.) ➡️ Claim your plugin code by entering your registered email address on this page: https://support.mastering.com/codes This will be the email address you signed up with on our website or here in Skool, depending on how you became a paid member. You will only be able to claim the plugin code if you're an actively paying member. If you have any trouble, please contact [email protected] or leave a comment below. 🚨 BUT that's not all... We also have a new 30% discount for all Premium members at Naturl Audio, the makers of the popular new AL-1 limiter. This discount can be access at the same page as above. Simply enter your email, and you'll also be able to request your unique discount code. Enjoy! Rob

The latest Fix The Mix was stellar! Orchestration is such an emotional event. Luke provide us with an outstanding composition in such a short time. So much passion in his writing. You have a bright future ahead! Luke provided Kevin with such a solid platform to work from. What a great event showing Kevin at his best. Even though this was a jaundice that he wasn't so familiar with, his knowledge and expertise, could mix this with such confidence. Kevin demonstrated for us how to create all aspects of the cube and and with his skills and knowledge, created a mix that sounded like you were at the concert hall hearing this piece live! Hope we see another event like this, in the future. The nuggets were golden. Cheers 😃

Not long ago, I posted on our YouTube channel asking what people wanted to see from Mastering.com The most liked comment? "Orchestral mixing mastering" And it's finally happening. Next week, we're hosting a special edition of our famous "Fix-The-Mix" Challenge, focusing on music with orchestration. We're partnering with Orchestral Tools to bring you three days of live mixing, where Kevin "Black Pearl" McCloskey will be mixing a track with orchestral components from start to finish. We'll also breakdown the composition itself at the start of day one (composed by our very own Luke Despain). RSVP for free here (starts Sep 15th): https://courses.mastering.com/events/e/fix-the-mix-sep-2026?utm_source=Skool See you there, Rob
