Alar’s
Recording Studio provides you with mixing and mastering services,
for optimization in relation to the media
destination (vinyl, CD, or file for web). These services are
available not only for those recording in our studio, but also
for external clients, for those who have previously recorded
tracks elsewhere.
MIXING
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 single .Wav
or .Mp3 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.
MASTERING
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 individually. The PMCD
created by us will contain the ISRC codes given to us by
the client.
