Basically I’ve been out of it awhile and am looking to test and improve my ability. EDM (electronic dance music) is my preferred genre, but I’m open to other genres, and I will need to hear the mixdown prior to you sending me the high-resolution wave file, just to check levels and listen whether it’s ready for mastering. Make sure the level is kept well below clipping and bypass any mastering effects you may have. Then just send me an MP3 sample or post here.
I’ve mastered a bit in the past and use plug-ins and near-field monitors, so you can expect a clean, professional sound that translates well. I don’t partake in the loudness war but your master will be loud while maintaining sufficient dynamics and sound more consistent. I don’t have any official samples as of yet but I can send a PM should you want to listen. Anything else you need to know, please ask.
Due to popular demand I’ve uploaded a before-and-after sample here. The track is by Voci and since the mixdown was almost spot on it pretty shows much the least I can do.
Haha, is it that bad?
I need to learn myself to mix properly, but it doesn’t really help that i’m mixing on some shitty Creative PC speakers.
I can try to edit a track if there is one you’d like to work with, but i really don’t know to much about mixing though, maybe you can give me some hints and tips?
Yes I’ve been asked this before but truth is I have a lot of free time these days so I want to spend it mastering.
Hmm this is a very unusual mix, I’m not sure how mastering would save it. The mids are far too loud compared to the bass, it sounds like it’s coming out of a telephone! Not sure if that was deliberate? Otherwise I’m happy mastering it provided the master output doesn’t clip or is processed. Upload a WAV (compressed as RAR) and I’ll see what I can do…
Well the first rule of mixing is not to clip your mixdown. Lower the volume and don’t process the master.
I always think the volume of my tracks are so low, so i try to jam it up some with equalizers, compressors and stuff. Probably not the way to go.
I’ll try to dig out a better mix of one of my tracks.
Hmmm, your link only leads to https://www.wetransfer.com/
I’m still not shure how i should mix a track so you could master it?
Maybe this one works better: Up-Tempo Dark Chipelectro ?
I could mix it down a bit and give you some more headroom on it, but i don’t want to spend much time doing that if you’re not interested in working with it anyway.
Sorry, this track is too hot for us!
Oh, damn! We couldn’t create the waveform for your track. We’re checking it right now and will try to fix it asap!
