Editing, Mixing and Production Fact: different Genres require different Outcomes!
Our production and mixing techniques will depend on what your required outcome is. No two bands sound the same, and we aim to ensure that you sound the best you can; limited only by your own performance. We like to highlight and bring out the potential in you.
Editing involves cutting and arranging parts of the recording to get the best out of the available takes. It can also involve correcting the pitch on vocal recordings, which can be done very subtly. Drum editing is a great way to get an excellent and consistent beat.
Mixing is adjusting the levels and EQs of the tracks to get everything to sit nicely in the mix and each instrument to be heard clearly. It also involves applying effects such as reverb and compression in flattering amounts. Different genres are often defined by the mixing process as much as the songwriting or instrumentation.
Our rates are unbelievably good at $60+GST an hour, and it takes on average at least one day to mix a song to a releasable standard. Is more time worth it? YES, how professional-sounding a recording comes out is proportional to the time spent on mixing it.
We can also perform specialised tasks such as audio restoration, noise reduction, vocal tuning, drum editing, and musical timing editing. If you are an artist, musician or band, we can mix your single, EP or Album and make sure your music sounds professional.
