02 Meet Your Instructor

flufff

I have been a hardcore guitar nerd since 1994 and what you would call an ‘audio guy’ since 2011.

My primary audio output has been through my YouTube Channel Riffs, Beards & Gear but I am also the audio engineer for Internet guitar/comedian Rob Scallon. Other works include all sorts of mix jobs for Wheezy Waiter, and even a song for a Ron Howard short film. I also love playing loud rock shows when I get time!

One of the original reasons I started a YouTube channel and wanted to educate and teach people is because I could find zero info on how to reamp myself back in 2010. It was infuriating. The people that DID know would refuse to tell as if it was some magical secret, and that was something I did not agree with.

Over the years I have learned what I know in the audio world through making many, many mistakes. While learning from your own mistakes is what will make you a better mix engineer and develop your ear, my hope is that this Fast Track will help you save a ton of time and frustration in doing your own reamping.

Check those preconceptions and egos at the door and lets buckle down and learn some shit!

All set? Lets go!

01 IMPORTANT How to Get the Most Out of Your Fast Track

First off, if you’re a member of URM Enhanced or Starter, please bring questions about this Fast Track (or any other audio question) to our monthly QNA Chat. If you’re a member of URM Enhanced you can also book a One on One session and ask there.

You can also post questions in the Private Producer’s Club.

Here’s how to get the most out of this fast track:

  1. Download the practice tracks – Once you complete step 2 you will be able to download your practice tracks.
  2. Watch the entire Fast Track once – Watch all the videos, read the text, and download any assets we’ve provided.  Don’t put any of this into action until you’ve watched the whole thing.  This will help you understand the bigger picture.
  3. Complete the Fast Track in order – The second time through, take it step by step. This Fast Track is progressive. Every step builds on the last. Master a step before you move onto the next one.

It should take you anywhere from a few days to a week to get through this Fast Track. You could get through it in one night, but that won’t do you as much good as taking it slow and incorporating each concept into your workflow.

Here’s a video showing you how to use the Fast Track interface…
