Sorry I have not posted in awhile. But, I am about to make it up to you. Been working with this talented young lady. We have been recording and mixing her original material here at the studio. We have been taking our time, because she is learning the process as we go. I cannot express the honor and joy it has been for me to be the lucky one who gets to hit the record button. So, please check out her song and I hope you enjoy. Here is Anna Haller- Carolina Rain.

Another honor to mix. RadioBlack recorded this song at 606 Studios (Foo Fighters). But that is not all; the late great Taylor Hawkins is on the drums. Like I said, an honor. RIP Mr. Hawkins...

What is Mastering? The purpose of mastering is to balance the sonic elements of a stereo mix and optimize playback across all systems and media formats. Traditionally, mastering is done using tools like equalization, compression, limiting and stereo enhancement. Mastering is the final polish that turns a finished mix into a release that’s ready for listeners to experience on all devices; from tiny iPhone speakers to massive dance club sound systems.

So; recording is adding, mixing is subtracting, and mastering is the polish. That equals a great song. Luv Ya!!

So this young man in my neighborhood asked if he could come down to the studio and play guitar. I said sure, but thank god that I had microphones set up and hit record while he was here. James is so talented, I am so proud. Check out his two covers below:

Audio mixing is the process of taking recorded tracks and blending them together. Tracks are blended using various processes such as EQ, Compression and Reverb.

That's the official answer. I like to keep it simple; mixing is blending individual tracks and getting them to sound as a cohesive thought, feeling, and sound. Or better yet, a Song.

If anyone was wondering...Luv Ya!!

Greeting everyone; Eddie here, just wanted to introduce myself and let you know what we do here. I started playing cello in the 4th grade many many years ago (I don't want to give my age away...Ha). It just grew from there. The bass, guitar, keys, and even drums. I always try to learn and figure out any instrument I can find. I just love music, it heals the soul. Then one day I got behind a mixing console and it hit me; this is where you make the sound in your head really come to the light.

What we offer here is Mixing, Mastering, and recording overdubs. I know since Covid there are many people recording at home. Well now the time has come to send your songs to get mixed and mastered. Check out our Soundcloud link to hear some of my mixes. If you like what hear and want to give us a try just message me or email and we can get to it. Serving the Song!

Please like and follow our page. I will post everyday or couple days on what I am up to and even some tips for recording and mixing. Thank you all for visiting...Luv Ya!!
