Engineers: Matteo Lo Valvo ([email protected]) - Valerio Alessandro Sizzi ([email protected]) The finalization process before cutting or burning of a song is called Mastering, the next step after mixing. This process is useful for preparing the track appropriately for final media. Sometimes a bad mix can be corrected in the mastering stage, but every case needs to be evaluated i
ndividually. Mixing is the frequency, panning, and volume calibration process of each sound in order to obtain a homogeneous ensemble, where all the musical instruments, effects, sounds, and voices of a song are comprehensible. There are several considerations of a final mixing, from the needs of the artist to the objective judgement based upon the genre or comparison of the songs being taken into consideration as a reference. For these reasons the client has to work closely with the sound engineer to obtain the best result possible. To simplify a mixing session, our client should give to us (by web or traditional mail) the separated tracks of the song in singles .wav (44hkz, 16bit) files. All the tracks must start at the same time, and be synchronized in order to open directly in our multi-track mixing system. Please keep in mind that “the best mix starts from a good arrangement”, and the frequency covered by instruments depends on the notes played.
