StretchLearn Course
Real frequency targets, named plugins, and loudness specs from raw mix to final master.
Course Overview
This course takes you from a rough multitrack session to a polished, streaming-ready master. You will build practical skills in gain staging, EQ, dynamics, time-based effects, the stereo field, and mastering to platform loudness specs. Every technique is tied to named tools, specific frequency ranges, and measurable targets rather than vague advice.
Learning Outcomes
Set up a gain-staged session and balance a static mix before adding any processing
Apply subtractive and additive EQ to carve space for each instrument across the frequency spectrum
Dial in compression using ratio, threshold, attack, and release to control dynamics and add glue
Build reverb and delay sends that create depth without muddying the mix
Use panning, mid/side processing, and reference tracks to shape a wide, translatable stereo image
Master a track to platform loudness targets (-14 LUFS) with true-peak limiting under -1 dBTP
Curriculum Preview
Preview the course structure, see how the modules build on one another, and understand the path this program is designed to take you through.
Set up a clean session, understand the signal chain, and get a strong balance before touching a single processor.
Use equalization to give every instrument its own space and remove what does not serve the mix.
Control dynamics with compression and build depth with reverb and delay sends.
Shape the stereo field, then master your mix to modern streaming loudness specs.
Built for Application
This program is designed around progression: focused lessons, structured modules, applied resources, assessments, and a course rhythm that turns information into usable capability.
