FAQ
-
Does it matter which DAW I use?
No. The techniques we demonstrate generally work the same across all Digital Audio Workstations. While each DAW may have cosmetic differences in how they handle EQ, compression, reverb, and mixing generally, you can use any of them to accomplish what we're teaching.
-
What if I don't have the same gear you have?
It's important to realize that we don't have the same gear that the original artists used either! What's important is the process we're teaching in terms of sculpting the final finished sound from the tools that you have available.
-
Will these techniques work outside of sample replays?
Absolutely! The skills we teach are the same skills that we use every day in the studio, whether the session calls for exactly recreating an existing work, or creating a brand new piece of music.
