Mixing And Mastering
Aug 6, 2010
MIXING:
1st off, when someone asks us to mix a track, song, or beat, to a person who is actually educated in this field would balance out the track so that nothing is drowned out or overwhelming and bring up the "references" to industry standard.
Note: if you ask for a mixdown and you have already mixed it improperly, futher mixing is pointless and it is better off to mix it down again from the start.
MASTERING:
When someone asks us to master a track I have to sound like a geek and explain to them the difference. You usually dont usually master one track, you master all of them and get their volumes to match so that way you dont have to turn up or down the volume every time you change the song. There is also Frequency tuning that is something that you will only really understand if you went to school for it or self-taught yourself
On top of all that:
Proper mastering is largely dependent on the environment!
EX:
You can have the best equipment in the world, but setup in
the school gym with lots of echo and reverb, your mix is done before started!!.
The echo, verb and its time responses end up blending in with your speakers, effectively altering, coloring and changing what you need to hear, --- only your loops---- only your voice-----and nothing else!.
Think of the gym as a VST echo plugin effect you cant bypass or delete.
100% of any CD, DVD, or game that is bought off the shelf, and hear on TV is Mastered.---
Mastering rooms are specially designed to correct time and frequency allowing the engineer to hear phase shifts costing hundreds of thousands to millions to build, anything less is not mastering, I call it pre-mastering.
If you have even bothered to read all this consider yourself a little more educated so when you ask a studio for services you know what to say.
