FREE to Stream (Thur at 12pm ET): “DIY Mastering” class [9 hours long]

If you are interested in the artful craft of music mastering of the DIY kind, starting on Thursday April 9 in 2020, Creative LIVE will be streaming for FREE the nine hour class by Jesse Cannon “DIY Mastering”. The class will repeat overnight until 12pm ET on Friday.

If you like it after watching it, you can purchase it for $19.

A total of 26 lessons are part of the class, and there are a number of digital and audiophile related topics covered.

Lesson #3 “Dynamics and Loudness” is streaming for FREE all the time, so you can watch it regardless of the free-streaming promotion. TRIGGER WARNING: he makes some audiophile-controversial comments about the Loudness Wars. You have been warned ^_^

PS: the teacher of this class has also written a couple of music, the most recent being the 2020-updated “Get More Fans: the DIY Guide to the New Music Business” (722 pages even)…

UPDATE: I have watched the whole class, lots of interesting things if you are not familiar with the DIY mastering process. There was discussion of speakers and headphones. The three headphones the instructor uses (secondary to the speakers) are the Sennheiser HD 280 closed-back over-ears, the good old Sennheiser HD 202, and #TriggerWarning, the Ultrasone PRO 900.

FREE to Watch Music Classes as they record LIVE

CreativeLive.com offers online classes but they have a more user-friendly twist. Their classes are recorded LIVE on the web. While the class is recording LIVE, you can watch it online LIVE as it happens for FREE. After the original recording is completed, you have to pay (buy) to watch. But if your schedule is flexible enough to adjust to the available classes, you can watch a lot of creative classes for FREE!

They feature a variety of creative topics, including a Music and Audio category. Page down to the “Upcoming Classes” section over there to see what’s available. They don’t have any headphone-centric classes, but cover a diverse variety of music topics (music theory for Electronic musicians, Home Recording, Logic PRO, Mixing EDM and Rock, Metal Mixing, etc).

You only own the class if you pay for it. Watching it for free while it is originally recording does not mean you own it for later (re)watching.
