THE PROCESS

MIXING

A host of software and techniques are used to make your songs sound clearer, non-abrasive, fuller, spacious, warmer and much louder in volume. Surgical EQ-ing, “Linear Phase Equalization”, which adds a level of clarity other EQ’s can not, and select multi-band compressing, help bring to life to a previously dull track.

MIXDOWN

We strive to achieve a clean mix where each element in the song occupies its own space. Perfecting each part by EQ-ing and compressing piece by piece, helps everything fit tightly together. The goal during a mixdown, is to achieve a clean low end, a punchy mid range, and a high end that sparkles with clarity.

NOTE: When sending tracks for mixdown, please bounce each part (i.e. kick drum, bass, vocals) separately. You may send the parts of your track on multiple CD’s or a DVD. A mailing address will be provided for you.

EQUALIZATION Highlighting select frequencies to bring life and presence to the music
