Introductory Mastering Course - Learn Mastering with MOTTOsound

MOTTO's current course, Introductory Mastering, takes place in Digital Audio Company's wonderful Recording-Architecture designed Mastering Studio in Skipton, North Yorkshire.

Skipton has excellent connections to London and elsewhere by train and we direct you (below) to many venues to stay in this lovely town known as 'the gateway to the Dales'.

Given this, we don't just master all weekend - Social activities surround all our courses and we hope you'll enjoy speaking with like-minded people over the weekend's activities. For more information about Skipton and the things you could do to make this an excellent weekend trip away can be found at the links at the bottom of this page.
