Mixing Process
My approach addresses every element that separates amateur recordings from professional releases:
Level balancing – Creating proper hierarchy and space for each instrument
EQ sculpting – Removing frequency conflicts while enhancing clarity and character
Dynamic processing – Compression, limiting, and expansion for controlled consistency
Spatial positioning – Panning, depth, and stereo imaging for dimensional mixes
Creative effects – Reverbs, delays, and modulation tailored to musical style
Automation – Dynamic mix movements that enhance emotional impact
Reference comparison – A/B testing against commercial releases in your genre
Technical Standards
All mixes are delivered as high-resolution WAV files (24-bit/48kHz minimum) with optional MP3 conversions. I offer multiple revision rounds to ensure your complete satisfaction before final delivery.
