Mixing is the art of blending together and balancing multiple recorded tracks using a mixing
console
and Digital software. It involves using equalization, compression, tuning
and
a variety of other harmonic tools to balance the sounds together. The end result is
a
two-channel, stereo performance. We can also enhance, reduce noise, mix and edit files that were
pre-recorded by you or by another studio. After recording your tracks, mixing is the most
important
step in making a song.
Mastering refers to the process of taking an audio mix and preparing it for distribution. The
goal
of mastering is to correct mix balance issues and enhance particular sonic characteristics. A
good
mix is taken (usually in the form of a stereo file) and final touches are put on it. This can
involve adjusting levels and general “sweetening” of the mix, including the use of various
filters.
If you think of mixing as building up the layers of a cake, then mastering is the icing on top.
