Excited to announce the very first Mastering Workshop at JAMES Studio: *The Art of Listening & the Mindset of a Mastering engineer* - How do we know what a song needs? Subjective listening and objective observation. - I will share my thinking process from the first listen to the finish line, the mindset, the tools, and the philosophy of what makes a good mastering. - We will explore the tools I use daily in both analog and digital realms and finish with mastering a song together. The workshop is for producers and mixing engineers who wants to learn the mastering process and mindset to understand how to improve their mixes and production skills. A deep overview of the final push towards the finish line of a great-sounding record. The workshop will be conducted by me at my studio at Funkhaus Berlin. For those of you who do not know me: Guy James Cohen - Audio-engineer specializing in mastering, mixing, and music maker. Over 20 years of experience. During the past decades, I have mixed hundreds of songs and albums and mastered thousands of songs. For more info, there’s a link in my bio or write me here in private. I will send you a direct link.

Here’s a thought #4 
Whatever you put your full attention on is worth it. Anything can be worthy. Funny term : to pay attention. It insinuates as if you are paying for it, sacrificing something. In Hebrew the literal translation of ‘paying attention to’ is ‘to put your heart in it’, that resonate with me and I feel it brings a certain softness to the action. It doesn’t matter what you do with your time it’s the quality of your attention that makes the real difference, the sense of depth is what makes it worth while. Have a great day and whatever you do, put your ❤️ in it. #🐢 #🐢❤️ #makemusic #payattention #simlev #putyourheartinit #studiolife #masteringstudio #mastering #mixing #openheart #bekind #beattentive #musicstudio #musicproduction (at JAMES Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CenfeAatKHy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This Friday 27.3.2020 I will dedicate half a day to master your songs for FREE of charge. The idea behind it is to encourage you to be creative and keep that creative flow running. This is a one time for now but let’s see how it goes, it might be a new routine of mine. Those days are pretty crazy to all of us. We all have our ups and downs and we all experience the same struggle. We are isolated as never before, yet there’s an overall sense of unity. During those difficult times, an active routine and creativity is key for our healthy mind and soul. i thought to my self : this is how i can help a bit to others, to encourage them to stay in their creative mindset and flow. simply by offering them what i do best for FREE. My only request is for you to respect my time and send music that you feel is ready to be mastered. Few guidelines about the process: * One Master to each person. For helping as many as possible, i ask that each one will send me only one song to be mastered. * There will be no revisions. I will do what i think is best to elevate the emotional impact of the song, while bringing into a competitive professional standards. you can send me reference tracks or some comments of how you wish this song to feel / impact . * Please send me a WAV file 24bit with the original sample rate of your mix session.  i.e 44.1khz or above. Hit the link in my bio for more info or dm for sending me files. You’ve got till Thursday evening berlin time to finish your mixes. Make it count ❤️ #freemasteringfriday #guyko #giveback #mastering #masteringengineer (at JAMES - Audio Mixing & Mastering Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-FC-pwg01P/?igshid=1xj4hhqerzh83
