Learn hands on to mix different songs from start to finish in Ableton. Downloadable instrumental and vocal files are provided, so you can follow along and actually do everything yourself.
Learning to master properly is a totally different beast than mixing, but it is just as important. A good (or bad) master can change a song immensely. In this course I give you ALL the skills you need to master your song/ad/remix.
The best way to stand out when creating ads, as a DJ or an engineer is to have unique material. I will teach you everything you need to know to get those remixes out of your head and finshed and polished, QUICKLY.
I believe the best way to learn is by doing. This course is totally hands on, mixed with a little advice and some theory along the way. I also designed it to be completed as quickly as possible, because time is money.
My name is Russell 'Zj Y Rush' Alexander. I have been a Mixing/Mastering Engineer and international DJ for over 30 years. I am a prime time ZJ on the #1 national radio station in Jamaica since 2009, where I am well reknowned as 'The Remix King'.
I've performed in over 50 countries as an DJ and entertainer. As an engineer I have mixed, mastered and produced countless radio played records and albums for countless artistes.
This skillset has also led to me being the lead advertising audio engineer for many national and regional marketing campaigns, for international brands such as Duracell, Energizer, Digicel, Cable & Wireless, Wendy's, Sunshine Snacks, Sportsmax, Grace Foods, just to name a few.
The worst thing in music is being just like everyone else. Just as bad is having ideas and not being able to create them. The only true way to make your brand stand out is through originality, and the best way for a DJ or producer to stand out in this competitive market is through great remixes.
The backbone of every great sounding record is a great mix, only possibly second to the initial production quality. It's also one of the least perfected skills. Even I missed some simple fundamentals for years, but I will teach them here and save you years of pain, GUARANTEED.
From Master Compression, Master EQ, Limiting, Spectrum Analysis and also Referencing, mastering is the last polish that seperates a good mix from an amazing record/ad/remix. It's also honestly the last skill I truly perfected. Everything I know I'll fully teach you in this course.
I have been the lead audio engineer for local and regional ad campaigns for Duracell, Digicel, Sportsmax, Sunshine Snacks, Wendy's, Grace Foods, Energizer Batteries, Juici Patties, Petrojam Jamaica and many other local and international brands.
I have also been responsible for engineering all kinds of events both large and international, from small events to international festivals like Sumfest held in Montego Bay every year which hosts a myriad of international superstars.
I have recorded, mixed, mastered and produced Grammy artistes like:
Kabaka Pyramid, Sean Paul, Bounty Killer, Romain Virgo, Vybz Kartel, Mavado and many more.
On live shows I have also been the live audio engineer for Platinum Selling acts like
TOK, Spice, RDX and many other international acts.
