Mixing
and Mastering
How It's Done
Mixing and mastering are
the two base components of pro record
production so it's important to
understand the differences between them.
With years of experience, as a Grammy
voting music engineer and producer and
an impressive track record spanning
almost every genre of music, I am your
go-to-guy for your mixing and mastering
needs.
I work with musicians and artists on a
daily basis. I know first-hand how much
work is dedicated to recording your
projects and you are still not getting
the desired results in terms of sound
quality. We can get the sound you are
looking for.
Mixing—Bringing
Multiple Layers Together
Mixing refers to the process of putting
multiple layers of audio together to
make one final track, or to musically
modify an existing track.
When mixing a song, you are able to
address basically everything you
have recorded including the pitch and
tuning. You'll do things like drop in
effects, adjust fader, EQ your tracks
and so on. Think of mixing as putting
the puzzle together. You're putting
together the parts of what you have
recorded, making sure everything hangs
together and adding some finishing
touches. When finished the mixing
process, you should pleased with the way
the song sounds and feel confident that
nothing is missing musically.
Mastering—Optimizing
the Overall Sound
Think of mastering as adding sparkle and
shine to your music. The term refers to
the process of optimizing each track by
compressing, equalizing, making stereo
enhancements or adjusting the order of
songs. In a very basic sense, when you
master your album, you're making sure
that song one doesn't blow out the
speakers while song two is barely
audible. In other words, you want the
levels of the songs to be similar and
you want a general sense of cohesiveness
to your recording.
