Discover the art of mastering

MusicRadar has teamed up with Steinberg and top Cubase expert and producer Bruce Aisher to put together the perfect introduction to making music in a computer-based home studio.

This week, discover the art of mastering. Optimise your mix and create a final master version of your track that it sounds great no matter where you play it.

All you need to make great music is our 10-part video series, a computer and some software. (Did you know that you can get a 30-day trial version of Cubase Elements 8 for free here?)

Enjoy the MusicRadar basics: home studio series so far here and be sure to check back on Friday for the next instalment.
