What is the difference between recording, mixing, mastering, and production? Studio jargon is often misused nowadays, and it’s important to know what exactly you’ll be needing in order to get your project done the way you want it. Here are a couple of basic definitions below to help you find what you need:
Recording/Tracking: The act of recording a live instrument, person, electronic instrument, or any combination of the three at the same time. When it comes to bands, singers, and any acts where the sound is produced live, recording is the basic foundation that studios are best known for. Producing/Production: This term is often used very loosely, and can mean a variety of things, but most commonly, it involves the work of a producer for a client project. The producer can be responsible for songwriting/composition, instrumentation, electronic/digital beat programming and sound design, project/record management, artist guidance and coaching, and many other details that go into creating music in the studio. Depending on the level of involvement, a producer may be involved in only 1, several, or all of these facets, and more! Mixing: This comprises the true legwork of any modern studio aside from recording, and it is what we specialize in best. Mixing involves tweaking the sounds in songs so that every element, instrument, and feeling translates perfectly no matter who hears it. This can involve lots of editing and revision of the recordings, as well as adding a “polish” to the overall sound of the track, so that it feels crisp, clean, and pristine in quality. Mastering: This is is the final step in the song creation process! After mixing is completed, mastering is a final touchup of the completed song, as well as calibrating it to commercial quality sound levels, and achieving the larger than life feel that the best recordings have. Where mixing is often about editing, mastering is more about bolstering the final product and giving it the lasting spark that makes it stand out from the crowd. Mercy sound studios specializes in all these steps of the song creation process, and is happy to help you determine what you need to achieve that larger than life sound.
