This course is easy for beginner like me 🙂 so happy with it.
Good tutorial. I would expect a more detailed explanation of what he was doing when adjusting the multi-band compressor considering that module was in 2 parts.
Excelent course, each and every video was effective and in-depth. Thank you for the experience!! 100% recommend
Lots of useful information but could have explained some parts in more detail.

The course was average, not enough in depth explanation of what the tutor was doing.
