Yin & Yang Audio on SoundBetter

Hello! My name is Umair, I am a passionate recording/mixing/mastering engineer and have worked at various studios in the UK and my home studio. I have worked on many releases on independent and major labels with bands/artists such as Best Coast, Five Star, The Drop, Undersmile, Silent Front, Vienna Ditto, Indica Blues and more.

If you've been struggling with your mix, let me professionally mix and master your song.

I have been a professional mixing and mastering engineer for 15+ years and use a combination of analogue hardware and plugins. I have worked with countless bands across all genres, including Best Coast, Five Star, Vienna Ditto, Silent Front, The Half Rabbits, Area 52, Febueder, Caretaker and Undersmile.

I offer a free sample mix, please send me a message for more details on this!

Mixing includes:

Editing (including audio quantising)
EQ
Compression (normal, parallel and multi-band)
Saturation
Effects (reverb, delay, chorus etc)
Panning
Volume levelling
Side chaining
Vocal tuning

All mixes are run through a Thermionic Culture Little Red Bustard valve summing mixer for unique analog character.

Mastering includes:

Passive EQ (in mid-side configuration)
Compression (optical, VCA and multi-band)
Saturation
Stereo widening
Limiting (true peak and multi-band)
Digital clipping (to obtain a louder master if desired)
Tape emulation

All masters are passed through an SPL PassEQ, passive mastering equalizer, one of the most transparent passive EQs ever built.

I aim to work as quickly as possible, with an average turn around time of 2-3 days depending on current workload.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

    I would definitely recommend hiring Umair at Yinandyang for any mastering work. He has done a great job on mastering all my tracks so far. His has brought my songs to life with expert touches that boost volumes but keeps everything natural sounding with good bottom end and clean mixes.
    He knows what he is doing, he uses the right gear, has great ears and is always bang on with delivery times and is really competitively priced. I am looking forward to hearing the finished mastered tracks when the

    This is our third time working with umair and each time it only gets better,

    Flexible and knowledgeable while being easy going yet professional, he's an easy choice for any professional production work in Oxfordshire.

    Umair did a great job of bringing The Long Time Dead to life. Very easy to get along with and did a really good job of achieving the sound in our heads. What more could you want?

    Umair engineered and mixed the debut Steve Winch & The Inception album - Down At The Soul Dispensary. Umair offers a first class service, extremely easy to work with and he listens to to what artist wants and is prepared to go the extra mile to achieve it. Every session was a pleasure and I thoroughly recommend Umair for your next project!

    We recorded a five track demo over 2 days and then the vocals and mix / master in a further 4 hours. Guitar, bass, Vox and drums. We were live mic'd and DI'd.
    Umair made it ludicrously easy.
    Very relaxed, putting us at ease, a pleasure to work with.
    But here's the most important bit - he's very flippin' good!
    We did the music without the Vox being there, and us being us, we got the structure on one song wrong - Umair fixed it with no fuss, no bother really quickly when we put the Vox down.
    We got exactly what we wanted.
    Great value, great job, an absolute pleasure.

    If anyone is to give our music the proper depth, time, and connection, it's Umair with his Yin & Yang mastering. I have never met anyone so willing to put in the time and effort; he made our music reach out with the message intended, and he listened to our thoughts and feelings in order to create something we really loved. In terms of sound, those that needed to sound delicate were considered, and those that were harder hitting - all the emotion was right there as intended. We're remarkably grateful for all he put in.
