WHAT IS AUDIO MIXING & MASTERING?

  • Audio Mixing: is the process of completing a song by enhancing, controlling & finalising all audio present within a recorded song. It can be the difference between a hit record and not sometimes and requires trained ears to listen and make changes to give the song “Wow Factor”
  • Audio Mastering: is creating a master audio file for all, often giving one last element to complete the overall sound of a song. Mastering should help drive sounds more for the listener as they play it back on various devices (headphones, bluetooth speaker, car stereo and radio stations)

Still unsure? Have a listen to these examples:

WHAT TO DO NEXT:

STEP 1

  • Bounce/export one dry (unmixed, eq’d or effected sound) stereo audio file for each sound recorded within your studio song file. For example, one audio file is to be exported for each of the following sounds; Kick Drum, Snare Drums, Hi Hat, Percussion, Bass, Lead & Various Vocal Layers etc.
  • If you just have an instrumental mp3 that requires mixing or mastering with only vocal stems, then we just need one audio file for each of the vocal stems and the original mp3 instrumental.
  • Feel free to send us any song/mixing references you like and would like us to try for you from either youtube/soundcloud/spotify etc – simply just copy & paste the url address into the notes box on the We Transfer upload page.
  • We will then send you an immediate confirmation email detailing a completion time (usually 3-5 days unless otherwise specified and paid for).Bounce/export one dry (unmixed, eq’d or effected sound) stereo audio file for each sound recorded within your studio song file. For example, one audio file is to be exported for each of the following sounds; Kick Drum, Snare Drums, Hi Hat, Percussion, Bass, Lead & Various Vocal Layers etc.

"Gold Seal did an excellent job of mastering my track, they took time to understand exactly what I wanted from the master and added that extra 10% I was looking for. The track has now been signed to a reputable UK dance label, so their expertise obviously did the trick!"
