Hello, I would like you to hear what I can do to improve your final mixdown. I enjoy working with the - most difficult - problem recordings. My phone number is (406) 300 -1770.
Every mix is different and presents new challenges. I view the final mix like a classical composition with various dynamic levels and musical transitions. The process starts with frequency equalization. Next, compression is applied to achieve head room. The last step involves structuring the recording with a dynamic envelope.
