Production

I have 2 goals when I produce.

• Make something unique

• Give enough ideas for the artist to make the track their own.

A production from me involves more than just me sending a beat. Custom production allows me to intertwine with the songwriting process and allow collaborative vision.

Mixing

• The first order of business in mixing is the setup of all the tracks. This allows time for me to organize your session and make sure all files have been accounted for.

  • Naming Tracks

  • Trimming Audio

  • Inputting Metadata

  • Organizing Tracks

  • Setting Levels

• Next is the tweaking. This part is all about balancing, doing corrective EQ, making sure all elements work with the song, fix performance errors, remove random noises and talking, etc. After you receive this mix, the track should be about 50% done.

  • Volume Automation

  • Panning

  • Basic EQ & Compression

  • De-essing and De-plosive

  • Setting Master Limiter

• This last stage involves the artist to be picky about the creative and technical decisions made during the second stage. As I wrap up the session, I look for the artist to provide feedback on his/her song. This may take a couple revisions but its worth it when it’s done correctly.

  • Add creative FX

  • Parallel Processing

  • Surgical EQ Adjustments

  • Bus Processing

Mastering

Mastering is a technical art form. There are many way to slice an apple, but which variation is the artist looking for? At the end of the day, is it edible? That analogy describes the job of a mastering engineer. The job requires the engineer to provide a finished product without disturbing the creative intent and decisions in the mix. Regardless of what the song represents, it should playback on any modern system effectively without disturbing the listener. Mastering is a necessity for serious audio work.

Vocal Mix

A vocal mix is simply a mix dedicated to only treating the vocals. Nowadays many artist simply rely on the producer to craft the beat and mix it too. The artist simply needs the vocals to “fit” within the beat. This is called a vocal mix. This mix is only concerned with the vocals standing on its own with or without a beat.

Instrumental Mix

Not everybody has a vocal artist for the music they make. They ARE the artist. However, any piece of music needs to be mixed. That’s why instrumental music and producers still rely on mixing engineers to mix their productions. This includes anything from beats, classical, jazz music, film score, and sound for film.
