Mixing and Mastering

Brenden Beu on SoundBetter

I have over 20 years experience mixing and mastering with an ear for obsessive detail.

In my 20+ years as an independent musician and producer I have repeatedly sent my projects for mixing and mastering with professionals who returned a disappointing result. Necessity is the mother of invention and I eventually became an expert in mixing - and especially in the subtle art of mastering, because other engineers couldn't provide the level of quality I expected.

I've mastered poor mixes from stems, reworked original session files and taken projects all the way through from scratch tracks to master. I've developed a very detailed ear and can inject life and power into your songs during mixing, mastering or both. I have a special knack for bringing an analog warmth to recording even when there's no budget for working on tape and outboard gear (I've spent years working with tape machines and learned that that analog sound is nothing more than combinations of EQ, compression and distortion - if you can hear it in your head you can recreate it).

I am currently focused on mastering (though I'm always happy to do mixing and producing as well) because mixing today is becoming part of the creative process for many musicians, while mastering is a very technical challenge that requires specific skills and experience. I am happy to take reference tracks for a master to get your final product sounding the way you want it to.
