Technical Development: Control & Consistency

  • Course
  • 2 Lessons

For ages 12-19 · Completion of Level 1 Recommended

Technical Level 2 builds on the fundamentals and teaches students how to work with greater control, intention, and consistency.

Students learn advanced routing, deeper processing techniques, and how to shape sound reliably across different sessions and projects. The focus shifts from “what does this do?” to “why am I using this?”

This course is ideal for students who want their mixes to sound more polished, balanced, and intentional—without relying on presets or trial-and-error.

By the end of Technical Level 2, students will:

  • Route audio using buses and aux tracks confidently

  • Apply advanced reverb, delay, and modulation techniques

  • Control dynamics with multiband compression

  • Understand gain staging and harmonic saturation

  • Make repeatable, intentional mixing decisions

Technical Level 1 is recommended before enrolling. Students can stop here with reliable technical skills—or continue toward professional judgment and refinement.
