Metropolis Institute of Sound Technology

MIST offers Metropolis Studios’ short courses in sound and audio technology. Established in the late ’80s, Metropolis in West London is one of the world’s premier recording studios, home to some of the most successful and inspiring artists globally. Our remote short courses in mastering, mixing, sound engineering, and Atmos leverage nearly half a century of experience to help you achieve your full potential in a usable, applicable and no-nonsense way.

Learn From The Masters

Metropolis Mastering hosts some of the world’s most successful and sought-after mastering engineers — the Masters.

The MIST short course in Mastering grants you access to their vast expertise and decades of experience. Unlike many other mastering courses that focus more on theory and are hands-off, MIST offers you one-on-one time with our engineers, along with advice and support from a diverse team of experts. As a MIST client, you will learn the artistry, nuance, and soul of mastering — all directly from the Masters themselves.

Detailed Interactive Courses

Each phase of the course is built around our bespoke curriculum, meticulously designed in collaboration with our world-class mastering engineers. We’ve integrated unique interactive elements at key milestones, allowing you to progress at your own pace and achieve tangible results.

You’ll work on specially commissioned music briefs that cover every genre, enabling you to compare and contrast your work over time. This approach ensures you gain both insights and valuable hands-on experience.
