1. What is Mixing?

 

   Mixing is like a Traffic Control System of the audio Signals.It controls the Frequency Range , Dynamics , Effects and Aural Placement of each track to fit all the tracks in the mix.

 

2. What is Mastering?

 

   A presentation of your favourite dish in a 5 star hotel matters a lot.Similarly Mastering gives a finishing touch by controlling the Dynamics & Effects of each band of signals of the Mixed track.

 

3. What is Stem-Mastering why it is needed and how to prepare mix for this service?

  

   When mastering from stems you will submit multiple stereo tracks that have consolidated instruments. For example an artist might submit 4 stereo wav files ( One containing all guitars, one with lead vocals, one with drums, and one with background vocals, etc.. ). Our engineer would then work with each stem to set frequencies, adjust levels, and correct any imperfections. When he has finished the stems are combined and the final song is then mastered. Since we have access to separated groups of instruments there are more options for the engineer to make fine adjustments and correct problems.

 

   In addition to our standard standard mastering service we also offer stem mastering for clients who want our   mastering engineer to have the most control during the mastering process. For the majority of projects standard stereo mastering will provide excellent results, however for artists who prefer to give our engineers the most         possible control over their mix we also offer stem mastering. Mastering from stems allows us to dive in deeper to the mix and more finely adjust frequencies and levels. It also allows us more control to correct problems in the mix that might otherwise be impossible with a single stereo file.

 

   Preparing a mix for stem mastering involves grouping your instruments into individual stems. We accept up to 8 stems per song, and as a general rule you want to group similar instruments together. An example set of stems would be: Percussion, lead vocals, backup vocals, rhythm guitars, lead guitar, and bass. The stems you submit can be separated any way that will give our engineer the best options to work with for your project. As with all mastering projects you should leave -3db to -6db of headroom and remove any master bus processing from each stem. Stems should all be the exact same length and start and stop at the same time (this is crucial so the tracks line up when they are mixed together.)

 

4. What is Re-Mix?

   If the original mix didn’t get the desired responses from the music lovers and music critics ,the Music                    Arranger/Music Director/Music Producer rearrange the music (or use the existing audio files from the library by   licensing the audio files) for a commercial hit or suggest a Radio Edit if the song is too long or reproducing an old song and make it sound interesting.In these processes the audio files need to produce and mix again to make it   sound great.That is why in Indian movies we do hear one song of 2-3 different genres.

 

 

5. What is Sound Branding?

   Just as your company’s logo, colors, motto and mission statement become part of your visual brand, music creates a sound brand. Music is that divine sound that creates an immediate emotional connection with people. Strategically created sound, when tailored effectively, can stimulate your customers to endear themselves to your brand, which affects their shopping behavior.
