EP 9 | Mastering Month '15 Kick Off with Jesse Cannon

EP 9 | Mastering Month '15 Kick Off with Jesse Cannon

Welcome to the Mastering Month 2015 Kick Off w Jesse Cannon

Jesse Cannon, prolific mastering engineer/author/entrepreneur joins the URM Podcast crew to discuss what it takes to become great at mastering and promotion. After all, what good is your talent if you don't develop it or share it with the world?

To really win at the game of audio you must learn to master your own motivation.

Motivation is the most powerful personal asset you can develop. The same motivation that drives you to become a world class engineer is what will drive you to find better and better paying gigs. Without it you won't get off the couch, but with it you won't stop until the job is crushed.

Easier said than done, right? Press play...

"The motivation to not suck is all it took." - Joey Sturgis

  • Jesse's ITB plugin chain
  • How to handle ear fatigue
  • The #1 way to refresh your hearing
  • 2 keys to a great master
  • Intentional relationship building
  • The secret to keeping high level gigs
  • A positive use of loudness in mastering
