Description: Young Guru has had the pleasure of working with artists such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Beyoncé, and countless other exciting performers throughout his career. As he continues to hone his skills, he’s excited to share some of the knowledge and techniques he’s acquired over the years.
This online Skillshare class consists of four units, including exclusive videos and materials, and broken down into the following lessons:
1. Mix Organization – working with the fundamental components of a mix included in Digital Audio Workstation: tracks and controls, and how to optimally organize all the audio information and tools to accomplish this task;
2. Level Definitions – how to set levels to match the artist’s vision for the song;
3. Adding Effects – how to work with basic effects such as phasers, enhancers, reverbs, and delays, and how to create the right space;
4. Tonal Balance – how to recognize when the perfect tonal balance has been achieved.
More than all other mediums, we seem to regard music as the most personal and vital to our existence. As its influence and importance continue to swell the way human beings interact, connect, and celebrate living together, so too does the importance of understanding the art of audio engineering. This is precisely why I have decided to venture into education and build this class with Skillshare.
I have had the pleasure of working with the likes of Jay Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Beyonce, and countless other brilliant artists throughout my career. While I continue to sharpen my skills even this deep into the game, I am excited to share some of the knowledge and techniques I have gained over the years with all of you.
This online Skillshare class is made up of four units, which include exclusive videos and materials broken up into the following lessons:
