Join us at Sterling Sound for the first series of MWTM videos with outstanding mastering engineer Chris Geringer! 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 experience and discusses the evolution of his workflow over the past decades, explaining why he ultimately chose to work entirely in a box. It compares and contrasts hybrid and all-digital workflows, providing a range of pros and cons for each in terms of sonic character, reliability and convenience. In addition to insightful discussion, Geringer demonstrates his approach and methods in a number of highly successful projects by Lil Nas X, Dua Lipa, Lorde, Bleachers and Machine Gun Kelly!
