Music Mastering Masterclass: Loud, Clean, Streaming-Ready (Udemy.com)

Great course; it's really important to understand mastering before you apply your mixing knowledge, because you might accidentally add mastering-like touches during mixing and finally be screwed at the mastering phase. I really recommend learning both through Anthony and then working on your first production

As a total newbie to mastering, I found this course to be informative. I feel like I now understand the basics. The reason I only give 4 stars is that this course only has one example track (a hard rock track) so we don’t get to see (hear) how the mastering techniques apply to other types of music and some of the techniques discussed don’t apply to the example track at all (e.g. reverb). I think it would be better to have more diverse examples.

Mi piace molto lo stile dell’insegnante, ho seguito le sue lezioni facilmente e con piacere. Il problema di questo corso, riscontrato anche da altri utenti, è che nella fase iniziale vengono spiegate cose che dovrebbero essere date per scontate. Se voglio imparare il mastering, probabilmente so già cos’è un eq o come funziona un compressore. A parte ciò l’ho trovato molto utile, nonostante io abbia una preparazione pregressa a riguardo. Ho già acquistato altri corsi di questo docente.

Jason is competent and very educational. His course is really easy to follow. I think it's a good introduction to mastering. However, the course won't be enough on its own. Only one plugin is recommended by Jason (Izotope Ozone). I would have liked to have seen a presentation of the best compressors, limitors, EQ and spatialization tools, or at least some help in choosing among those on the market.

I just finished taking Dr. Allen's mixing course and dove right in to his mastering course. I started my journey into music production in April. Taking these two courses back-to-back has really taken my knowledge of music production to the next level. Before taking his courses, I had no idea what a compressor is. Now I am confident I can explain what it is, how it functions, and why you use it. If you're new to music production and want a concise and thorough explanation of the tools you'll be working with, how they work, and why you use them, I highly recommend taking his courses.

Keep up the good work Jason.... Your class has built the foundation i was looking for in mastering.... I now have the confidence to get my tracks sounding the way i want them to.... Thanks for putting up the efforts and time to help us understand this subject with so much clarity.... You are a great Teacher and a wonderful person.... God Bless You Always....!

Really good introduction to Mastering as an art. You get to learn these tiny details that you'd normally won't notice if you would have done this before the course. I'm only at 20% right now, but I'm hopeful!

Very good course, with a gradual built-up - not too rushed. I especially appreciate that Jason stays away from snakeoil "must-have" plugins and keeps going back to the referencing / A-B part, which really helps. Two minor points: 1) although short videos are ok, some of them could probably be merged (e.g. #67 & #68) and 2) maybe add / update info on Flac files and dithering to fully complete the course.

I'm a little ways into the course right now, and I've learned material enough to warrant the course five stars. I'm looking forward to completing the course and hopefully internalizing my new knowledge.

Have been taking J's courses for some time, always great content and well presented. This course is a basics of mastering concepts, a 101 and a great introduction. The section on mid side compression was handy, though most of this should be as pointed out, already in the mix. Fine tuning across the sound canvas is essential and understanding there are many ways to shape sound is all part of the game and J does a great job of getting the concepts across in an easily understandable way. Congrats on the new addition to your family btw.
