Beneditksson also offers readers an opportunity to master these curves by offering his training class for free until the end of the day.

- But the thing is, and I’ve been listening to the album masters multiple times, it sounds great!
- Ian Shepherd just sent me a couple screenshots of the mastering EQ he used on a couple tracks of The Long Wait album
