MIXING

 

One common misconception is the difference between Mastering and Mixing. Each are two separate processes but are equally important in the music production process. In a basic sense, mixing is the first step, which involves the mixing engineer combining and editing individual audio tracks together from your DAW such as Pro Tools and Logic Pro X to form a single stereo audio file in WAV or AIFF format. During the mixing process, your recorded audio tracks are edited, using EQ, Compression, and adding effects such as reverb and delay, while balancing the volume, frequencies, dynamics, and spatial placement between instruments and vocals. This will bring everything together to make your music come alive in the final mix, sounding clean and professional, exactly how you envision it.

MASTERING

 

After the mixing process completes, the stereo mixdown is then mastered, which is the process of ensuring that the song is polished and ready for distribution, while making the song sound big, full, strong, and loud. During the audio mastering process, it's also made sure that your song's stereo file sounds its absolute best when played across all streaming services and audio devices. If mastering an album, the mastering engineer makes sure that each song will be heard at the same volume level providing, a sense of flow between the songs. Without Mastering, your music won't be radio-ready, and that's why It's never a good idea to release your song without professional online mastering services from a pro audio engineer.
