🎛 If you produce electronic music in 2022...
You need to know how to create your own masters.
And no – I don’t just mean slapping on an Ozone preset and calling it a day…
I’m talking about crafting detailed & clean masters that accurately represent your music.
Because if you’re self-releasing – poor or un-mastered music will sound weak and amateur. It’s not finished if it’s not mastered.
Sending to labels? They’ll want the closest thing to a final product as a reference (even if they use an engineer). Plus, they’ll likely be asking you to make changes – not fun if you have to go back to another mastering engineer.
Not to mention that you’re up against an entire industry of producers, many of whom know how to master themselves. And if you’re a DJ, you’ll hear the difference when you mix your track in with the pros… 😭
You need this skillset, otherwise you won’t hit the minimum barrier to quality music.
Yep – it’s another skill to learn. But it’s not a bad thing – it can actually be a HUGE benefit. Because nobody understands your music best except YOU.
Gone are the days where you have to go back and forth between your engineer to get the perfect master. You have the final say on how your music connects with your listeners.
And not to mention, being able to master your own music will make your mixing and production even better.
Plus, being able to quickly churn out great masters when playing WIPs in a DJ set is a huge advantage.
If you can master your own music well, you’ll be well ahead in the music game. Especially if you do it right 👇
🔮 The keys to a professional master
For the past 8 years, I’ve learned a lot about what makes a great EDM master that stands up to other tracks (or sounds even better), represents the music well, and ultimately connects with listeners.
If you want to make great music that sounds polished and ready-for-release, you need to understand what makes a great master.
There’s no magic bullet here. It’s just a simple process that you need to follow:
- Understanding what your track’s sonic needs are.
- Using a simple yet thorough mastering process to follow each time.
- Repeating this for every song you make.
That’s it.
If you repeat these 3 steps, you will become a great self-made mastering engineer.
You’ll finally finish music that you’re proud of AND that your fans with love.
You’ll be able to hit export on your music with no regrets.
And you’ll be a better producer for it.
But, all this is easier said than done…
🔊 The struggles of mastering your own music
- The end result never quite sounds like your favourite artists (yet)
- There’s no second pair of ears to tell you what to fix
- “Should I aim for -14 LUFS or not?”
- There are so many tools, and you’re not sure how and when to use them
- You have unlimited control - you can endlessly tweak things and get stuck
- “Do I fix it in the mix, or in the master?”
- Your referencing environment isn’t the best, so you’re second guessing every decision
Not to mention you’re learning mastering on top of mixing, arranging, music theory, songwriting, sound design, drum programming, and a whole bunch of other skills.
Becoming your own mastering engineer isn’t easy. It’s hard work.
But the creative freedom, sonic control and end result all make it 100% worth it.
Trust me – there’s no better feeling than listening to your master alongside your favourite music. And it actually sounds GOOD.
And while it’s not easy, it can be simple. Like any good mastering engineer, you need a system.
Something that can adapt to each song as you master it, yet give you a repeatable set of tools so you know what to do.
A system that’s comprehensive, practical, and delivered by a pro in the industry…

🧠 Inside, you’ll learn...
EDM Mastering Fundamentals
You’ll understand why mastering electronic and dance music is completely different from other genres. Skip the unhelpful info about recorded music and get straight into it.
Developing Your Ear
Identify the details in your music that is holding it back. Understand when the best time to use different tools like EQ, compression and saturation is.
Optimize Your Listening Environment
Achieve high-quality masters, even if you don’t have the best acoustic treatment or monitoring environment (yep – even if you’re on headphones).
Understanding Dynamics
After the dynamics lesson, you’ll know the difference between micro and macro dynamics, and how they can make for a cohesive listening experience.
Demystifying Compression
Stop succumbing to the confusion of compression and know the best way to use it to control dynamics and tone.
Balancing Tone with EQ
Nail your music’s tone by using EQ like a pro mastering engineer. Go beyond simple cuts and boosts and dive deep into the details.
The Power of Multiband Processing
Finally understand the nuance behind this coveted mastering technique, and achieve clean and balanced masters (without over-processing your mixes). Know when and when not to use it.
Adding Richness with Saturation
Add character and life to your masters with subtle saturation techniques (that don’t ruin your songs). Understand what and how saturation is affecting your master.
Clipping For Max Loudness
Learn what most mastering engineers won’t tell you about loudness, and discover the power of controlled clipping for unparalleled loudness.
Finalizing with a Limiter
Give your final master the treatment it deserved with limiting. Achieve a clean master at the appropriate amount of loudness for your style (hint: it’s probably not -14 LUFS).
Topping & Tailing
Discover a lesser-known aspect of mastering that most producers ignore. Control the start and end of your tracks for seamless integration of your music on all platforms and mediums (Spotify, Apple Music, Beatport, CD etc.).

"I've taken a few other courses on mastering, some significantly more expensive, and I still feel this was one of the most informative courses I've watched in a long time.
It felt very modern in a way few courses I've found are, giving advice for the types of projects I'm actually working on, rather than re-hashing the same hypothetical concepts we hear over and over.
I wouldn't write a review unless I really felt this course stood out from the crowd and it does. Nicholas is a fantastic instructor and I look forward to learning more."

🚀 It's not just about mastering...
You still might be unsure whether learning to master is worth it.
After all, can’t you just pay someone the same money and get a pro-sounding master?
Yes – you absolutely can.
But the benefits don’t stop at the end result – learning to master well will feedback into your production.
You’ll understand what the final product needs, so you’ll make better composition, arrangement and mixing decisions earlier in the process.
You’ll be informed and capable of crafting songs that sound good from beginning to end.
And when you’re mastering, you’ll be able to go back and make better mixing decisions.
So this course isn’t just about becoming a mastering engineer – it’s about becoming a better electronic music producer.
❓Frequently Asked Questions
All you need is a computer, a copy of a DAW, and headphones (or monitors).
All plugins used inside the course will have free and paid alternatives. If there is a plugin you cannot access, there are similar techniques outlined that you can use instead.
Nope! Although Mastering For Producers is taught in Pro Tools, you can use practically any DAW and still follow along just fine.
The mastering templates include copies for Ableton Live, Pro Tools, FL Studio & Logic Pro X.
A common concern people have when signing up to a course of this size is that they’ll run out of time and fall behind.
That can’t happen with this program as it’s self-paced. You can go through it in a matter of weeks if you’re extremely diligent and have a lot of time, or you can go through it at a slower pace and take it all in. Whether it takes weeks, months, or even years—it doesn’t matter. You’ll always have access to the course material.
The course itself consists of online videos inside our private course platform, split up by walkthroughs and modules.
You’ll also get access to the listening exercises and guidebook to follow along with.
Our students love our courses because they are not designed just like any course out there. We create them with three principles in mind:
Action-based. Not boring. Comprehensive.
Our courses aren’t just videos to be watched – each step encourages you to follow along in your own DAW.
We aren’t just regurgitating a bunch of information – we’re keeping it interesting by helping you develop skills.
And lastly, this isn’t just a few tips thrown together – this course was deliberately designed to give you the full picture when it comes to mastering. We don’t miss any detail, and if you think we did, let us know.
Yep! Our money-back guarantee ensures that if you don’t like the course, we’ll give you 100% of your money back within the first 30 days. No questions asked.
We don’t have any current plans to discount Mastering For Producers in the future.
Let’s be honest though – between now and then you could be killing it, making the tunes you’ve always dreamed of. Or you could be waiting another 3, 6 or 12 months.
If you’re not sure now is the right time, you can take 30 days to go through the course, and if you don’t like it, we’ll give you 100% of your money back in that time frame.
This is a fully comprehensive course that teaches you mastering from the foundations up – step-by-step. It’s also delivered by a pro in the industry, not just anybody.
You won’t find anything this comprehensive just lying around on YouTube – and while you might find a few tips or tricks that we use throughout this course in a tutorials, it won’t provide you with the full picture that makes a great mastering engineer.
After you sign up and complete your payment, you’ll instantly get an email from our course platform with information on how to access the course. Your bonuses will arrive in a separate email within just a few minutes. You can start the course whenever you please.
If you’re new to production, we recommend checking out EDM Foundations instead. If you’ve got the basics down and are looking to expand your skillset, then this is the course for you.
EDM Foundations is designed for beginners. Mastering For Producers is designed for intermediate-to-advanced producers who want full sonic control over their final song.
If you’re interested in general production, choose EDM Foundatons.
If you want better masters for your music, choose Mastering For Producers.
If you’re diving head on into Mastering before you’ve learned mixing, we’d recommend taking Mixing For Producers first.
Mastering will not fix your mixdown problems, which more often than not are 90% of the problem.
Mastering is the final process that takes your final track from 90% to 100%.
In short, no. We’ve designed this course to be purely ‘in-the-box’ so anybody with a computer and a DAW can follow along.
If you have outboard compressors, EQs, limiters etc. – you can feel free to apply the concepts in this course to those devices.
Great! Feel free to use the chatbox to the bottom right of the page, or email us ([email protected])
