iZotope Launches Mastering Academy With Jonathan Wyner; First Training Event In July

Opportunity to learn how to produce better-sounding masters through hands-on mentoring

iZotope is now accepting applications for its first-ever Mastering Academy event for audio professionals, slated for July 23-25, 2015, with the majority of training taking place at the company’s new mastering studio in Cambridge, MA.

Led by iZotope’s education director and Grammy-nominated mastering engineer Jonathan Wyner (David Bowie, Howie Day), joined by guest Adam Ayan (Carrie Underwood, Pearl Jam), the workshop combines small-group instruction with hands-on practice and personalized mentoring from Wyner.

In the iZotope mastering studio—an acoustically optimized listening environment—participants will learn advanced mastering techniques and best practices on a range of top equipment.

In addition, students will analyze their own habits and patterns through feedback and insight from mastering professionals. They’ll also add new skills, learn time-tested strategies for dealing with clients, and grow their networks of peers.

“It’s a real thrill to be launching our first major learning initiative of this scale,” Wyner says. “Education has always been a personal passion of mine, so I’m looking forward to working with students individually. I’ll be sharing strategies and techniques so they can tackle their next mastering project with greater confidence.”

The event also includes tours of musical sites in Boston, including Symphony Hall and Berklee College of Music.
