Description: Join us at Sterling Sound for the first in a series of MWTM videos with mastering engineer extraordinaire Chris Gehringer! This comprehensive workshop covers a range of topics relevant to modern mastering, including studio design, monitoring, analog and digital workflow, volume and more. Chris shares his experiences and discusses the evolution of his workflow over the past decades, explaining why he ultimately decided to work entirely “in the box.” It compares and contrasts hybrid and all-digital workflows, providing a number of pros and cons to each in terms of sonic character, reliability and convenience. In addition to the insightful discussion, Gehringer showcases his approach and methods on a number of highly successful projects from Lil Nas X, Dua Lipa, Lorde, Bleachers and Machine Gun Kelly!
