Masterclass by Nicholas Di Lorenzo: 2x Grammy-nominated, Multi-platinum & Billboard/Aria charting Mastering Engineer
Stop guessing.
Start mastering with calibrated control.
Advanced Mastering Details Masterclass 2.0
You already know how an EQ works.
You already understand compression.
You already set a limiter properly.
But sometimes:
An EQ move feels right… until the playback level changes.
Oversampling feels like something you “should” use… but you’re not fully sure what it’s doing.
A master measures fine… but doesn’t cary the emotion of a song.
This is the gap the masterclass closes.
Inside Advanced Mastering Details 2.0
Module 1: Ear training and Equalizers
Train your hearing in perceptual bands aligned with how the ear actually processes sound.
Train ±3, ±2, ±1 dB auditory thresholds
Log SPL-based perception shifts (60 / 75 / 83 dB)
Identify masking inside critical bands
Build repeatable tonal confidence
Includes:
Calibration pink noise file
ERB perceptual band presets (Pro-Q 3/4 + generic Q equivalents)
Blind EQ training template (ProTools)
Notion tracking database
Structured progression system
EQ stops feeling like guesswork.
Module 2: Sample Rates and Resampling
Oversampling isn’t automatically better.
Avoiding it isn’t automatically safer.
Unmanaged resampling is the problem.
You’ll learn how to:
Centralize the re-sampling process
Eliminate stacked plugin oversampling
Preserve phase, headroom, and predictability
Your signal flow becomes disciplined and purposeful.
Module 3: Approaching Macrodynamics
Mastering is not just about loudness.
Music is about energy and movement
You’ll learn to implement:
Pre-chain gain contouring
Pre-limiter density shaping
Post-limiter level control
EQ automation for psychoacoustic lift
Width automation for perceived expansion
Soft-clip automation for harmonic contrast
Small moves.
Large emotional impact.
What This Actually Changes
This is not about more tools.
It’s about control.
After this program:
Your EQ decisions remain stable across monitoring levels.
Your signal flow becomes predictable instead of cumulative and accidental.
Your macro dynamics feel directed rather than reactive.
You commit faster, and with clarity.
You stop asking: “Is this right?”
You start knowing: “This works, and here’s why.”
Who This Is For
Engineers who:
Already mix confidently
Already understand mastering tools
Finish records regularly
Want sharper, faster final decisions
Not for beginners.
Not for preset collectors.
