THE MIXING MASTERCLASS WITH JONATHAN GARCIA
An Exclusive 8 Hour Mixing Intensive at GoldBox Studios
Join Award Winning Engineer & Mixer Jonathan Garcia for an intimate, full day mixing masterclass designed for engineers, producers, artists, students, and anyone looking to take their mixing skills to the next level.
Hosted inside GoldBox Studios in Cincinnati, Ohio, this experience goes beyond simply learning which plugins to use. Jonathan will break down the thought process, workflow, techniques, and decision making that go into delivering a professional mix.
From session preparation and gain staging to EQ, compression, vocals, low end, depth, width, effects, automation, and final mix decisions, you'll get an inside look at how Jonathan approaches a record from start to finish & delivery.
THIS IS NOT A LECTURE.
With only 6 seats available, this masterclass is intentionally designed to be personal and interactive. You'll have direct access to Jonathan throughout the day to ask questions, participate in discussions, share your work and dive deeper into the techniques and concepts being demonstrated.

WHY ONLY 6 SEATS?
Because great mixing is personal.
This isn't designed to be a room full of people watching a presentation. Keeping the masterclass limited to six attendees allows for meaningful interaction, questions, discussion, and direct access to Jonathan throughout the day.
