Mixing
Mixing is the process which brings out the best elements in a song. My philosophy as a mixer is to bring to life your recorded material and create the exact sound you have in mind. The importance of a good mix is crucial. A bad mix can turn a great song into an unlistenable cacophony, leaving certain key elements buried.
On the other hand, a good mix is what makes people listen to your song over and over again while discovering new details with every new listen. It also enhances the emotional impact of your recorded performance as well as consolidates your creative vision.
Mastering
The mastering process allows you to perform final adjustments on your stereo mixdowns. Some adjustments are made to improve a particular song’s sonic quality. A good mastering will bring a new perspective to your song or album. When you are in the midst of recording your project, you will concentrate on one song at a time. The result is that your mixes will contain subtle differences: the peak levels will be different; the EQs for each song are different, the width, etc.
As a mastering engineer, I will look at the album as a whole, and try to bring unity. My goal is to achieve a consistent sound and to make it sound consistent on every listening system. I will also match the overall levels so that your mastered songs are as consistent and as “hot” as any major label releases.
