Ian opened my ears for mastering. First with his podcast and then with the Home Mastering Masterclass. The Hub is a unique extension to this. The Library videos are a great learning tool, and the livestreams are a great opportunity to ask Ian questions and get direct feedback on your own masters. Like you have a private teacher. And it’s fun too!
As a whole: highly recommended for everyone who wants to get a better understanding of mastering.
I'm Ian Shepherd – I've been a professional mastering engineer for over 30 years, and helping thousands of people like you get better results mastering for over 15 years.
The Home Mastering Hub is based around my private members-only forum plus Monthly Hub Livestreams, including live Q&A sessions and the chance to chat to me live on the stream.
And you get immediate access to thirty-two new Home Mastering Videos (yes, 32!) often using real examples submitted by other members exactly like you, mastered from scratch in realtime, by me.
You can watch the entire process from beginning to end, including all my experiments, miss-steps and thought-process along the way.
PLUS as a "MAX" member you can send me your own masters for critique and feedback during an exclusive extra stream every month – and get access to even more examples (20+ hours!) in the Home Mastering Library

ED CHARLES

The Hub livestreams enabled me to interact directly with Ian, asking anything, even seemingly stupid questions. He answered me clearly in a way that made me feel not stupid in the least.
The Hub community put me in touch with others and I've developed ongoing professional relationships with people who live on the other side of the world.
Point being I’d never have made these connections and developed these relationships without Ian’s course.
He attracts curious, eager, kind-hearted people who make learning and practicing something I look forward to.
He’s built a unique and supporting community in a very crowded space. And that’s no small achievement.
BOB ELLIS
(music producer, home mastering engineer)
Can you really master at home?
I completed Ian’s course in 2017 and it gave me a wonderful foundation, but the subtleties were lost.
Wind forward several years of mastering other people’s music, participating in The Home Mastering Hub and watching Ian’s mastering critiques I now hear 99% of the subtleties.
In a Hub post Ian wrote "Bob, your master of Red Sun is definitely in the same ball-park as mine".
So the answer to my question is a resounding Yes. Thanks Ian!
