I really loved this class! It was extremely helpful in all aspects of production, not just remixing. I especially enjoyed the 'creative' element of using effects, which really broadened my understanding of what can be achieved through reverbs, delays, echo, and compression once you understand them. - Siobhan, Creative Production & Remix student
