The mix

Let's say you have a musical idea and you want to record it: you purchase a track online, create your own sounds in your favorite Daw or record separately, vocals, drums, guitar, keyboards and other instruments.

Then you have to find a balance between the different elements to get an integrated and accurate sound. That is the mix and it is one of the most important processes in the construction of a musical theme. Getting each instrument to have its place in the sound spectrum and be intelligible is a difficult art to achieve, but it will make your music have that professional sound you are looking for.

Tailor-made mastering

But it doesn't end there, once the piece is created and mixed by the mixing engineer, it's time to visit the mastering engineer, who will be in charge of making your music have the volume, impact and color needed to be perfectly heard in any playback equipment and compete with other musical works.

Also, during this process, certain weaknesses in the mix may be corrected due to inaccurate monitoring. The mastering engineer subtly highlights details that may have been hidden in the mix. A good mastering can save a song, but an aggressive process could destroy all the magic of the mixing process.

A tip from professionals

When you go to the mix engineer, show him some of your favorite records, to give him a direction of how you would like your music to sound, always taking into consideration the limitations and strengths of your material.

Having clear ideas of how you want the bass, drums or vocal effects to sound is very important, however, allow the engineer to make his creative proposal, music is a teamwork.
