Black Friday Special


It's Black Friday but I'm not selling anything. Instead I want to give you a Holiday gift by giving you 10 days to enjoy my video courses on lynda.com for free.

If you're not hip to Lynda.com, then you really should be. It has over 3,000 video courses that cover essential training for software like Final Cut, Photoshop, Pro Tools and more, as well as how-to courses in social media (like the ones I authored), marketing and business.

Here are my lynda.com courses to check out.
Audio Mixing Bootcamp - If you just can't seem to get the hang of mixing (and it really is an art) or want your mixes to be better, then check out this video course. It covers just about everything you need to know to step up your mixing game.

Audio Recording Techniques - This course shows you the basic techniques for recording just about any instrument, including strings and horns as well as drums, percussion, bass, keys, guitars, vocals and background vocals. Watch a song being recorded from the basic tracks to overdubs right through to the rough mix. 

Music Studio Setup and Acoustics - Sometimes your recordings and mixes just don't sound right not because of your technique, but because of your room! Regardless if you're mixing in your bedroom or recording in your garage, this course will help you improve the acoustics of your room in no time as it shows you how to build your own bass traps and acoustic panels.

Audio Mastering Techniques - Mastering is something that we'll all forced to do ourselves in one situation or another. Now you can learn the techniques used by the pros.

Mastering For iTunes - iTunes has had a high-resolution audio program for a couple of years now as it slowly builds its hi-res catalog. Here's everything you need to know about it, as well as all about the tools and how to use them.

Remember, you can also use the 10 free days to check out all the other lynda.com courses too. Enjoy!

Lifting The Veil From Your Recordings

As many of you know, I'm a big fan of lynda.com, not only because my video courses are hosted there, but because I use it so often myself. Musicians and engineers have to be resourceful, and there are times when you just have to learn a little Photoshop or Final Cut to help with your personal marketing. You get the most comprehensive training on lynda.com because all of their more than 1500 courses are presented by experts in their field, the production values are sky high, and the info is divided into easily graspable chunks. It sure beats those blurry how-to videos on YouTube by a mile (like that DIY mic stand video posted here yesterday).

I first started working with the good folks at lynda a few years ago, which has resulted in courses that mirror my books, like Audio Mixing Bootcamp, Audio Recording Techniques, Audio Mastering Techniques, 10 social media courses (based on my Social Media Promotion For Musicians book), and now the latest - Music Studio Setup and Acoustics.

Music Studio Setup and Acoustics is based on the popular Studio Builder's Handbook (written with engineer Dennis Moody), which tries to take all the mystery out of why some rooms sound good and others don't, and what you can do to greatly improve your room (and therefore your recordings) for as little as $150 (less than a piece of gear). Dave Pensado thinks this is the best book I've ever written, and hopefully you'll find this video course just as useful. There's a quick sample of one of the videos below.


I'm happy to be able to offer 7 days free of unlimited access to lynda.com so you can check this and other courses out. Enjoy!
