I'm gonna show you the basics of music production and mixing: How to EQ, how to use compression, how to tastefully use modulated effects such as delay and reverb, as well as showing you recording techniques and some plugins that I love to use from my own professional sessions I've produced! In this 8 week course, we'll cover the fundamentals of audio production that will help you conquer the initial learning curve of documenting your own song ideas.

How to EQ
How to EQ
How to understand the different sections of the audio spectrum, and where typically sounds best to boost / cut for common instruments.
How to use Compression
How to use Compression
Compression to me is the single most important tool of an audio producer. I'll break down this commonly-misunderstood tool and show you different styles of compressors to help make this procedure second nature.
Multiband Limiters
Multiband Limiters
"Multiband Limiters? sounds scary...." Not really! This is an amazing tool for taming misbehaving frequencies that don't necessarily need to be permanently scooped out with an EQ.... you'll be surprised how much you'll use this guy after I show you!
Recording Vocal & Acoustic Guitar
Recording Vocal & Acoustic Guitar
We'll cover this common procedure and I'll show you some tips, tricks and mics I use to capture it the right way!
Q&A Moments
Q&A Moments
We'll have plenty of moments throughout the 8 weeks to get into questions you may have about audio production, or difficulties you need help navigating through!
Automation
Automation
Automation is an absolute must for creating dynamic changes within each track in the mix - we'll spend plenty of time on this process and I'll show you creative ways to create impact and motion within your song!
Reverb & Delay
Reverb & Delay
Reverb and Delay are absolute necessities for creating depth and space perception in your mix; Without it, your mixes can feel flat and boring. I'll show you how to use these modulated effects (as well as others) to help expand the height and depth of your mixes!

This Class is awesome! Jude is an amazing teacher!
Serious AH-HA moments tonight!
Life changing class for anyone starting or intermediate level of mixing, as well as some production/arragement stuff. Jude is incredibly versatile, and we've looked at tracking and mixing so many different instruments and sounds! I came out with so much more knowledge and things to guide me in my projects! Heavily recommend!
Jude is the best! His knowledge and approach to music production is refreshing and inspiring. He's patient, thorough and always makes sure everyone is grasping the concepts he's teaching. Throughout the class he's constantly sharing helpful tips and tricks and gives his honest thoughts on topics like equipment, plugins, workflow, and songwriting. I started this class with limited knowledge of music production but now that it's over, I have gained the confidence I need to record and produce my own songs using Jude's methods! If you are able to jump into one of his classes, you will have a blast!
Jude Smith is not only an incredible gifted young musician but his knowledge about music production is very technic and practical.
