More Mix Foundation: Mix Buss Compression

November 2, 2015December 28, 2015 admin

Just a touch of compression on your mix buss (master fader) can bring cohesion and glue to your mix. It’s another of those foundational elements in any solid mix.

Here is another in the “5 Minutes to a Better Mix” series, from The Recording Revolution…

What folks are saying

Working with Magic Ears and Adam was an amazing experience. The deep understanding of his craft made for some awesome results.

I can highly recommend Adam Matza and Magic Ears Mastering, having used them on all four Orange Hypothesis EPs since 2017. Working with Adam is always a pleasure and I really value our partnership. He communicates really well, is super engaged, offers helpful suggestions and options and is patient and responsive with my queries and requests. It’s a really rewarding collaborative process and the end results never fail to leave me smiling. Adam brings clarity, space and precision to the mix, at the same time somehow magically making the whole thing gel. His insights and feedback have helped me improve the quality of my mixes and I’ve learned something new every time we work together. Adam has great musical knowledge and I trust and value his instincts. In short, Magic Ears Mastering rocks! Give them a go, you won’t be disappointed.

Couldn’t ask for a more professional cat to work with. He puts every ounce of himself into making your music sound as huge as it can be. His knowledge of all genres is vast and his dedication is insurmountable. I will always come back.

Adam was both excellent at his craft, and also really showed that he cared about our music, which in my experience is a decidedly unique combination. If you want to work with a kind, passionate, person with expert mastering skills, choose Adam Matza. Many many thanks!

Adam’s work was outstanding – so thoughtful and subtle. I’m in a band called Raker, and we recently reached out to him to master our first single – “Gospel.” He was quick, flexible, direct…establishing himself as our go-to-guy for upcoming releases. If you want to feel confident that you have an expert on board, go with Magic Ears Mastering.

Magic Ears Mastering is the best! I’ve used them for many recording projects across several bands at this point and Adam always does a world class job. Adam has gone above and beyond for us and has taken pretty poor quality mixes, and cleaned them up and made them sound professional. He always strikes a great balance between volume and letting the mix breathe, without having that lousy over-compressed sound. I will be using him again (and again!) and I strongly recommend Magic Ears Mastering to anyone who wants a professional quality mix at an affordable price.

Magic Ears Mastering did an excellent job mastering the latest Stephen Evans & the True Grits album, “Buzz of Bees.”  Adam Matza was pleasant and communicative to work with, as well as very diligent about getting us what we wanted with the overall sound and volume.  We will definitely work with him again.

I’m not gonna make a list of all the improvements he brought to the track; I will let you be the judge of that. But they are significant and efficient. To summarize, let’s say that he succeeded where I failed, especially where there was a lot of middle frequencies. He managed to suppress the resonances after the breaks, to keep the voice of Matthew McConaughey much clearer than I did, and lots of others subtle improvements that make this version a lot better. I encourage you to contact him for your own work.
