It took us a long time to get these guys in our studios, but we finally did it! In this installment of “Studio Pass,” Adam “Nolly” Getgood and Matt Halpern show how they produced their breakthrough double album “Judggernaut.” They cover drum selection, tuning, and engineering, editing, mixing, and it even includes over 1GB of drum samples recorded specifically for the class!

Fix It In The Mix w/ Kurt Ballou
Making the most out of subpar tracks is a fact of life for any mixer, even Kurt Ballou. But working with less-than-great tracks doesn’t have to mean heavy editing, sample replacement, and other techniques that while effective, can drain the life out of a mix. In this class, Kurt shows his array of creative solutions for fixing bad audio without sacrificing the organic sound he’s known for.

Mixing Master Class w/ Joey Sturgis
This class picks up where Joey’s Studio Pass class left off: you’ve got your session tracked and edited, now how do you turn it into a polished, world-class mix? He covers his approach for mixing drums, bass, guitars, vocals, synths and effects, tips for using automation, and even mastering.
