UMA x Smith Hill Mastering W3rkshop

Join us at the Underground Music Academy for a mastering W3rkshop in collaboration with Smith Hill Mastering, designed to guide artists and producers through the final stage of preparing music for release. This 3-hour session will break down what mastering is, including shaping tonal balance, controlling dynamics, and ensuring your track translates across listening environments from headphones to club systems.

Participants will learn a professional listening approach to assess balance, clarity, and stereo image, while understanding the limits of mastering. We’ll also cover a standard mastering chain from EQ to final export, along with key checks to prepare tracks for release. Each student will be provided a one sheet to follow along. The W3rkshop is open to beginners through intermediate learners. No prior experience required.
