I am considering a new, bigger TV(?) monitor, 55" for tracking and general DAW use. Any recommendations? Something to know about burn-in and how to avoid it? Thanks!

Hey everyone, So first, a quick update. We are now using this Skool group as the home for our paid Membership program, as well as a central hub for all free events and free courses moving forward! That means you can expect a lot more activity in this group, and a lot more resources and fun stuff to come next year. You can continue to use this group for free, with limited access, or upgrade to a paid tier if you want to. I also wanted to let you know that we're running a great Cyber Monday deal on paid membership. Today, you can get 66% off annual VIP membership for Cyber Monday. That brings the price down from $49 per month to just $16.58 per month. This deal ends Friday, Dec 5th, and the price applies for life (you will auto-renew on this deal). VIP membership is our affordable alternative to our full audio school. It includes a step-by-step learning path covering all aspects of the music creation process (Music Production 101 & 201) as well a monthly 1:1 check-in with a professional mentor for coaching and feedback. I have attached a video below that walks you through all the details. You can see the full breakdown of the different tiers and join here: https://www.skool.com/mastering/plans To claim this deal, simply select "VIP" then "Annual" at the link above.

Do your bad mixes keep you up at night? And when you listen back, do you feel ghoulish? You might be suffering from the curse of the intermediate plateau — no matter what you try, your mixes still give you a fright. That’s why we’re hosting a free Monster Mix event — in partnership with iZotope and Native Instruments — where we vanquish evil spirits from your mix and teach you skills to transform your mixes from undead to alive. Monster Mix is a free, online event that takes place over 3 days, starting Monday, October 27th, at 12:00pm ET. It is hosted by our expert mentors who first break down the production process, then dive into mixing and mastering, demonstrating how to create a professional, polished sound. Ready to bring your mixes back from the dead? RSVP for free here: https://courses.mastering.com/event_full/1759790352952x651487503070265300?utm_source=FTMSkool See you there!

Back by popular demand, we’re running our free “Fix The Mix” challenge again! Starting Monday, you can join the totally free virtual event that reveals why your mixes don’t sound like your favorite records, and how to fix them. This event is hosted in partnership with Woodstock Audio, our brand new plugin company. Join our pro mentors as they guide you through the tried-and-tested workflow over just 3 days. Learn how to properly prep your session on day 1, by getting a handle on gain staging and balancing. On day 2, we’ll cover EQ, compression and reverb techniques, then move on to vocal mixing and mastering on day 3. As a final step, we’ll compare before and after mixes to show your progress. Video replays will be shared so you can revisit topics and practice at your own pace. Fix The Mix is hosted virtually on Zoom, starting Monday 29th September at 9am Pacific / 12pm Eastern / 5pm UK / 6pm European time.
