Producers & DJs looking to Master on their own and have their songs stand out in playlists and DJ sets.
Mix Engineers and self-taught students wishing to properly learn about Stereo Bus Processing, Mid/Side, Multiband, Various delivery formats etc
Artists, Musicians & Composers who want to create their music in their project studios and master “in-the-box”; at the same time develop a solid understanding of audio principles and industry practices in mastering studios.
If you know how to Mix by taking our Mixing & Mastering course or if you are self taught Mixer-Producer, Mastering Plus is the next logical step. There is so much more to the art of Mastering these days with cross genre songs, soundtracks and multiple streaming platforms. Our Mastering Plus Course is designed for today’s multi-genre modern engineer. While being completely focused on mastering “in-the-box” (in a computer), we provide you with the ability to achieve that “commercial sound” thru the understanding of various analog circuits and effect processors. The end result you will leave with a fully mastered track and all the steps to continue improving and forwarding your abilities for decades to come. The techniques can be applied within any digital audio workstation. We will also spend time working on your songs in our state of the art Studio A and make sure you have release ready material upon completion. We have is a dual Pro Tools HDX and Apogee setup (also running Logic Pro and Ableton Live) designed by Grammy nominated engineers. See below for full Gear and Synthesizer list below.
Total class time is 24 hours, where you can ask questions and bounce ideas off your instructor and fellow learners exactly when you’re feeling inspired, or…confused! This is why there is no substitute for music courses in person.
All synths are MIDI connected for DAW use via iconnectivity MIO and Clever Audio MXM 12 Synth switcher. We also have a guitar pedal collection for sonic experiments in studio.

Our Testimonials
The instructor was amazing. To be able to learn mixing and mastering in 36 hours is unbelievable!
COG
I have taken about 3 mixing courses online and learned something from each. This by far was the most helpful because it tied everything together and having a hands-on approach is the best. The instructor was super enthusiastic and patient as well. For the price and being a one week full session, nothing else compares.
Biren M Patel
The teacher is awesome, his enthusiasm and knowledge makes the class a blast while taking in tons of useful tips/techniques.

Darryl Swann. Enough said. He is a passionate, humble, experienced, and incredible human. He would help any of his students in anyway he could and he loves teaching. We now work together outside of Garnish and I couldn't be happier to have connected with him through Garnish.
Patrick McCutcheon
I came into the class with a good understanding of my DAW (Logic Pro X course here at Garnish) but minimal knowledge of mixing/mastering. I thought the class was a great supplement to the knowledge I gained from the Logic Pro X course. I never felt lost, and now know how to achieve a clean mix and master.
Kevin Yee
I won't change anything. I learned and enjoyed a lot! Good location and neighborhood, nice people and easy parking.
Mono Villa
I've been producing music for 15-20 years and even have a recording arts degree. The instructors were absolutely amazing and helped me grasp mixing and mastering in a very relatable down to earth way. I feel like my production has finally taken the step up it needed. Loved the class and would love to take more courses at Garnish. Great learning
Jeremy Wells
Instructors are well-experienced and can speak from tremendous amounts of real-world experience. They are also very passionate - not just about music and working in the industry, but they are passionate about teaching and getting the students the best learning experience possible. This makes a big difference in how successful the course is for the students… We were also able to get a lot of detailed and hands-on work - which was great!
