I think this course has been very informative to me and i learn a lot more and my producing skills have improved a lot since then, also my mixing sounds better. Still got a few more courses to do on here, am interested in the mastering and mixing course so i would be back soon :)

Course rating: 10/10

I enjoyed the course very much. The course content was excellent, I learnt a lot of new techniques and tips that i did not know Cubase had inside it. Also a lot of new techniques and tips into editing and mixing music / audio. Deptford's video feedback was superb! Detailed and direct, and it's great to have a tutor who takes a personal interest in the assignments and care with the suggestions and feedback. Thanks!
