Join us for “Demystifying Mastering,” an evening event presented by SonicScoop and Flux Studios on Friday, May 11 – for engineers, producers, musicians and mastering engineers who want to gain a deeper understanding of the mastering process, and hear modern tools and techniques in a studio environment.

Dave Kutch, The Mastering Palace

The event will run from 6PM-9PM and will feature a clinic led by top NYC mastering engineer Dave Kutch (The Roots, Alicia Keys, John Legend), listening stations for demoing gear by Dangerous Music, Manley and Focal Professional, and a fun Friday night mixer with drinks/snacks.

Kutch’s clinic (7-8PM) will be a Q&A-driven discussion and demonstration of:

Best engineering practices leading up to mastering
Best production practices to optimize your mastering experience-
How to break bad habits that limit what can be accomplished in mastering
Tools and tips for sonic problem solving
Effective mastering chains and techniques

Before, during and after the clinic – throughout the rest of Flux – Dangerous Music will have stations setup where you can demo the Dangerous Master, Monitor, Liaison and Bax EQ; Manley will be on hand with their Pultec EQ, Mastering SLAM! and Mastering Massive Passive; and Focal will be showing – for the first time in NYC – their new SM9 monitoring speakers, which are now available.
