Why Now?

After more than four decades of perfecting his craft, Vlado Meller believes that it is important to teach the techniques of his GRAMMY-winning mastering to a new generation of audio professionals. Mastering is no longer in the domain of a select few, and it is time to work for the betterment of our industry.  Says Meller, "This workshop is something I've wanted to do for quite a while - it's the opportunity to share 40+ years of best practices with the next wave of mastering engineers and audio professionals. Now is the time for me to let the younger generation benefit and learn from my experience."

Silverman adds, "VMMW gives students a rare opportunity to learn from an established master of the craft."
