Course Description
Every producer and mastering engineer has their own favorite plugins that they like to use. Each set of plugins has its advantages, even native plugins have some advantages. However, some plugins just go above and beyond in terms of quality, sound, flexibility and ease of use. Fabfilter plugins do just that.

In this course, you'll learn how to master your tracks using Fabfilter plugins to tackle a problematic mixdown. We'll dive deep into Fabfilter's various plugins and their settings to address mastering goals that we will set together as we listen to the track. All major aspects of mastering are covered in this comprehensive course including
- Stereo processing
- Mid/side EQ
- Harmonic distortion
- Compression
- Limiting
- Parallel processing
We'll take it one step at a time as we listen to the track to finish and set goals. We will then proceed to address each of our goals and issues and walk through the proper settings and plugins to use. Each step is clearly explained with attention to how and why to use the plugins and settings to achieve what we want.

great course, I learned a lot and will definitely will be coming to this for reference on how to do my next track.

It was something which I didn't know how to do earlier and this course really helped me in understanding about the mid/side processing.
By Nicolas Sireau on 8/19/2020
Very good course and clearly presented but I would have liked more explanation of what the different knobs on the Fab Filter products actually do. Nevertheless I would definitely recommend this course.

This course is just brilliant and i found it at the right time. I want to buy the fabfilter plugins and there is no better way to see, how you can use the fuctions of the plugins, if you can watch how someone, who knows what he do, works with it. Great!!

A very clear course. I wish we could learned more mastering techniques, but Fuad give us the right explanations in order using fabfilter's plugins for mastering. The good thing is that we can really compare the mastered and the unmastered track, and the result is stunnished! Really good job Fuad. I wish a course for mixing all kind of musical genre with your advices :-) Many thanks.

This guy is extremely talented! One thing i needed was the files so I could follow along with the same track. Hear the unmastered version and the mastered version.

I love the way of the style of instructor, not so steady, not so overfunny.His English is perfect and and he explain every part of the lessons detailed and very clearly. Before this course my main issue about making a track was mastering part.I got fabfilter plugins for months but dont know how to use them. I watched lots of youtube videos but every youtube thing has something missing and so it confuse my mind much more. So I highly recomend this course, add to my mastering technigues alot.I tried with one of my tracks and the result is amazing. I will continue to get other lessons from Fuad Murad.
