Geoff Swan - Four-Day Seminar in Paris
Join mixing engineer Geoff Swan for four days dedicated to mixing in Paris from February 23 to 26, 2027.
Known for his work with Charli xcx and Caroline Polachek, Geoff has also worked with artists including Ed Sheeran, Mahalia, and Yungblud. His mixes bring together detail, energy, and character, preserving the individuality of each artist’s sound.
At Rue Boyer Studios, he will share his approach to building a mix, from finding the balance to shaping tone, depth, and dynamics. Over four days, explore how to give vocals their place, bring clarity to complex arrangements, and strengthen the emotional impact of a track, with ideas you can take into your own studio.
Location
Tucked away on an artistic street in eastern Paris is a groundbreaking recording complex built for the modern age. Designed by world-renowned architect and acoustician John Storyk, Rue Boyer evokes the vintage spirit of historic rooms such as Electric Lady or Abbey Road, whilst injecting cutting-edge functionality that is fit for the future.

Frequently asked questions
The MWTM team offers a variety of educational events, both online and in person.
Our in-person seminars are hosted in Paris at Rue Boyer Studios, featuring hands-on learning with renowned industry professionals. Lunch is provided for seminars, but participants must arrange their own transport, accommodation, and other meals.
Webinars are live online events hosted by our Masters. No prior registration is required — simply log in and join. Access to the live stream and replays varies depending on the webinar type and your membership level. A chat is available during the session, moderated by the MWTM team.
Applications are made directly from each event's page. Our simple application process involves letting us know about your experience with audio and including some examples of projects you've worked on. Applications are welcome from everybody!
The MWTM programme was launched in 2010 after the first ever week-long seminar was conducted at Studios La Fabrique in the South of France. At the time, it was intended to be a one-off event and the company did not exist. After the astonishing success and positive feedback following the debut seminar, MWTM was formed and further seminars were hosted featuring different guest speakers. To date, over one hundred and twenty seminars have taken place! Our events are now held at Rue Boyer Studios in Paris.
Aside from hosting an average of twelve week-long seminars per year, MWTM has also run a number of seminars and exclusive recording studio gatherings in the United States, typically coinciding with pro audio conventions by NAMM and AES. Our presence at these conventions has involved hundreds of live hour-long workshops given by A-list producers and engineers using a large-format console on stage!
In the United Kingdom, Mix with the Masters has conducted seminars in London, exhibited at conferences, and curated a number of special guest appearances at Abbey Road Studios for its 90th anniversary festival in 2021.
Members get an early bird discount during the 30 days after each seminar announcement:
- - Expert: −20%
- - Pro: −10%
- - Access: no discount, but your application is processed first
Student tiers and public are not eligible for early bird.
After the early bird, Expert members get −10%. Everyone else pays full price, and members' applications are processed first.
To lock in your discount, pay the deposit or the full amount within the 30 days. An application alone doesn't secure it. Discounts apply to annual plans only, can't be combined with a scholarship, and don't apply to AFDAS-funded seats.
The starting price corresponds to the Expert early bird rate.
Apply or contact us and we'll send you the full details for the seminar you're interested in.
Does the price include accommodation and meals?
It depends on the format. Week-long seminars at La Fabrique (near Avignon) include lodging and all meals. The 3–5 day Paris seminars (Rue Boyer, Ferber studios) generally include lunch, but not accommodation — participants book their own hotel.
Where is the studio, and how do I get there?
Depending on the session, Paris seminars take place at Rue Boyer Studios or Ferber Studios (address and nearest metro station are shared in the confirmation email). Week-long seminars take place at La Fabrique Studios, in the south of France near Avignon.
What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer is the main method. A deposit is usually requested to secure your place, followed by a balance payable per a schedule shared at acceptance. Invoicing with VAT is available for companies on request.
What happens if the masterclass I want is full?
We offer a waitlist. If a spot opens up (due to a cancellation), we reach out to the people on the waitlist.
Can I transfer my deposit to another session, or to someone else?
Yes, this is possible on a case-by-case basis (personal circumstances, scheduling conflicts, visa issues, emergencies). Contact us as soon as possible — we can usually roll a deposit already paid over to a future session rather than issuing a refund.
Is the required level really "professional"? I'm intermediate — can I still take part?
The level mentioned in the programme is a guideline, not a strict cutoff. Your application (portfolio, experience, motivation) is reviewed as a whole; motivation and hands-on experience count just as much as a strictly "professional" status.
Do I need to send a track to be mixed before the masterclass?
Yes. You'll be asked to send, in advance, via WeTransfer or Dropbox, the printed mix and the mixed stems of the track you'd like to present during your one-on-one listening session with the mentor.
Can I record (audio, video, photo) during the sessions?
No — any audio or video recording is strictly forbidden during the course (article 7 of our terms and conditions), regardless of the device used. Official photos are taken by our team and shared after the event.
Is there a schedule of upcoming masterclasses?
We don't systematically publish a full schedule in advance. If you'd like to be notified of upcoming sessions as soon as they're confirmed, let us know and we'll keep you informed as a priority.
How long do I have to complete my registration after being accepted?
Once we receive your completed registration form, your place is put on hold and you generally have 5 days to pay the deposit to secure it.
Can I get a refund if I need to cancel for a personal reason (health, visa, family emergency)?
These situations are reviewed case by case. Contact us as soon as possible with the reason for the cancellation: depending on the case, we offer a partial refund, a credit rolled over to a future session, or a conversion into an MWTM online membership.
Can I get an invoice showing accommodation separately (for my AFDAS reimbursement)?
Yes, on request, specifying the number of nights and the payment method and date — this document is needed for your incidental-expenses reimbursement process.
