Korshub's take

Build Your Sound

Grammy-nominated producer Young Guru has worked with the world's biggest artists and now shares the audio engineering essentials you need to make music that sounds intentional and polished. This isn't mixing theory—it's the practical workflow.

Core Fundamentals

Organizing a mix for clarity and efficiency
Setting levels to match the artist's vision
Working with effects—reverb, delays, phasers
Achieving tonal balance

You'll mix a provided raw audio file alongside Young Guru, then apply the same techniques to your own music. The payoff: your work sounds professional instead of amateur.

About this course

From organizing a mix to adding effects, learn from the best. Join legendary Grammy nominee, producer, and DJ Young Guru to learn the essentials of audio engineering — so you can create the sound you want to hear in your music.

A Note from Young Guru

More than all other mediums, we seem to regard music as the most personal and vital to our existence. As its influence and importance continues to swell in the way human beings interact, connect and celebrate living together, so too increases the importance of understanding the art of audio engineering. This is precisely why I have decided to venture into education and build this class with Skillshare.

I have had the pleasure of working with the likes of Jay Z, Eminem, Beyonce, and countless other brilliant artists throughout my career. While I continue sharpen my skills even this deep into the game, I am excited to share some of the knowledge and techniques I have gained over the years with all of you.

This online Skillshare class is made up of four sections, which include exclusive videos and materials broken up into the following lessons:

Organizing a Mix - working with the basic components to a DIY mix, which include the Digital Audio Workstation [DAW], the tracks, and the controls, and how to optimally organize all of the audio information and tools for the task at hand
Determining Levels - how to arrange levels in accordance with the artist’s vision for the song
Adding Effects - how to work with basic effects like phasers, enhancers, reverb and delays, as well as create negative space or blend/fade where appropriate
Tonal Balance - how to recognize when perfect tonal balance has been achieved

I will provide a downloadable raw audio file so that everyone is mixing together and on the same page throughout the process. For the class project, however, you can use your music of your own creation.
