Why do you need this WORKSHOP?
Do you often find yourself thinking:
“I spend hours watching engineers share their ‘mixing secrets’, but the stuff they teach always works for them, and never for me.”
“I listen to pro-level mixes and think: “It shouldn’t be that hard! I’m almost there!”, but after days of chaotic tweaking, my mix still falls apart. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong?”
“I had one or two mixes that I was happy with, but it seems like it happened by accident, and I’m not able to replicate this anymore. Why?”
“So, what’s the problem? Do I need more audio gear? More plugins? More time spent on every mix?”
If you would like to have answer to all those questions – Join US!
In reality, you need a clear understanding of what you’re doing at every stage of the process, along with practical tips and tricks. This is exactly what you will gain from our fully practical 7-day Recording & Production Workshop, run by Wojtek and Slawek Wieslawski at Hertz Studio, starting on September 30, 2024.
