The class will delve into essential topics such as gain structure, where Borujow will emphasize the importance of maintaining proper levels throughout the signal chain to ensure clarity and headroom. Vocal levels will be another key focus, with Borujow sharing techniques for achieving a balanced, polished vocal sound that sits perfectly in the mix. He will also address the critical aspect of managing low end, explaining how to achieve a tight, controlled bass that supports the track without overwhelming it. Master buss processing will be a highlight, with Borujow demonstrating his approach to applying EQ, compression, and saturation to enhance the overall mix. He will also discuss the art of mixing with emotion, encouraging attendees to use their technical skills to convey the intended feeling of the music. Proper balance will be a recurring theme, with Borujow providing tips on how to ensure each element of the mix is audible and contributes to the song's impact.A fascinating segment on spatial imaging will explore the question, "When is a mix too wide?" Borujow will explain how to achieve an immersive stereo field without losing focus. Finally, he will cover the use of limiters before sending a mix to a client, highlighting the importance of delivering a loud yet dynamic mix. Attendees can look forward to leaving the masterclass with a wealth of knowledge, ready to apply these advanced techniques to their own projects.
