What does it actually take to make music sound professional today?
Not just the mix. Not just the master. But the whole process — production, workflow, headroom, sound quality, release strategy, business, and where immersive audio like Dolby Atmos is heading.
On June 3, Viking Lounge Academy is bringing together three industry professionals for one live masterclass at Viking Lounge Studios.
We’ll be talking mixing, mastering, production, music business and Dolby Atmos, while also going through practical concepts you can use in your own sessions — including mix setup, DAW headroom, workflow, and how to maximise your sound quality before mastering.
There will also be resources available for attendees, so you can take the ideas from the session and apply them to your own music.
If you’re an artist, producer, engineer or songwriter, come through, ask questions and connect with people who care about the craft.
Tickets are $99 and seats are limited.

Have You Seen My Mum?
It’s new music time! My first song of the year will come out on the first day of tour, July 4.
A song about being lost in a shopping centre but also life. It’s raw, tender and one of my favourites to play live.
