MIXING AND MASTERING

HOW DO I KNOW IT WILL SOUND BETTER?

You always have input into how your project sounds, and we will do everything we can to make your audio project sound incredible.

WHAT WILL I RECEIVE?

Once your project is completed you will receive an MP3 & WAV file of your Mixed or Mastered song, along with any ad-ons you have ordered. You will also receive an MP3 file which allows your song to be automatically imported into your computer or mp3 players music playback system (iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc.)

WE Will NOT send you a copy of the session where we mixed and mastered. Although we can send individual stems of your project at an additional cost.

WHAT WILL I RECEIVE?

To be able to provide you with great affordable rates and fast turnaround, all of our services are completely digitally processed. Using our industry best software and plugins, we’re able to provide an excellent digital sound to your mixes and OR masters. We work in a private studio with top quality computing systems, hardware and monitors & we have over 10+ years experience mixing and mastering every genre of music. Once we receive your material and payment, we begin to prepare and work on your project right away.

Mixes are usually mixed completely then we rest our ears for a day and come back for anything I’ve missed, before the mix is finalized, we will send you the mix in mp3 format for your review, if any changes will be made we will make them and send the mix back, this process repeats until you confirm the mix is complete.

Masters are tested on over 4 pairs of high end monitors and numerous sound systems such as an iPod (mp3 player), car stereo, Laptop speakers and a boom box, to make sure you are getting the best possible sound on every playback device! Your files will be delivered to you in a personal private dropbox folder shared between us. You can choose to delete the files and folder or keep it to transfer material in the future if needed.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MIXING AND MASTERING?

Mixing is basically tinkering with everything you have recorded to complete your songs. We’ll do things like drop in effects, adjust fader, EQ your tracks and so on. Think of mixing as putting the puzzle together. We’re putting together the parts of what you have recorded, making sure everything hangs together right, and putting some finishing touches on things. When we’re done mixing your songs, you should be pleased with the way the song sounds and feel confident that you don’t need to add anything musically.

Mastering is the process of taking a recording and enhancing it to its fullest potential. It’s the fine-tuning that makes your track sound as “big” and as “clear” as possible without compromising the original feel of the song. This also makes the album, as a whole, sound unified. When you send us your audio for mastering services, your tracks will be analyzed by an experienced mastering engineer in one of our acoustically treated mastering studios. After we get an overall impression of the existing sound balance, your project is then professionally mastered using an appropriate chain of top drawer analog and digital mastering tools.

WHAT WILL I RECEIVE?

Once your project is completed you will receive an MP3 & WAV file of your Mixed or Mastered song, along with any ad-ons you have ordered. You will also receive an MP3 file which allows your song to be automatically imported into your computer or mp3 players music playback system (iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc.)

WE Will NOT send you a copy of the session where we mixed and mastered. Although we can send individual stems of your project at an additional cost.

WHY SHOULD I HAVE MY AUDIO MASTERED?

Mastering is the final step in bringing your recording to its optimum potential. It gives your music the professional commercial quality necessary to compete nationally and globally. No matter if your audio is planned for radio, CD/cassette duplication, CD Rom/ DVD authoring or publishing to the world wide web, it must be mastered to take full advantage of the media in which it is to be released.

WHY DOES MY PROJECT NEED FRESH EARS?

After working on countless songs and albums, mastering engineers develop an acute sense of sonic and musical knowledge that is key to successful mastering. It’s also a huge plus that the mastering engineer wasn‘t there when you recorded and mixed your album. Hearing your songs for the first time, a fresh pair of ears can offer truly objective advice.
