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

Hey there! Now that is damn cool result. The word that first came to my mind was smooth — the piece sounds smoother! And you actually got the loud middle part exactly as what I was trying to achieve; a full, heavy-duty contrast to the more quiet bits. Well done, especially considering the headroom limitation!

Working with Magic Ears Mastering has made it possible to not only meet all my deadlines, but also with a quality and reliability that always exceeds my expectations. Truly a blessing in the process of releasing my music!

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 recently worked with Adam Matza at Magic Ears Mastering and had a wonderful experience.

He was very sensitive to my thoughts and wishes, responsive in a timely manner and ultimately got me the end result I was happy with. When a mastering engineer cares about the artist and the music, it makes a world of difference.

Adam has been involved with a lot of different genres as a performer and vocalist so he knows how it feels to be on the artist’s side.

Having that experience makes him an understanding and empathetic mastering engineer. I was so pleased with the results that I brought my next project to him as well. Highly recommend giving Magic Ears a try!

Thank you Adam for the great work and professional treatment.

In a seemingly endless world of in-the-box practitioners, Adam Matza at Magic Ears Mastering is the real deal. Whether it’s providing that special extra sheen you were always wanting, or giving you that punch and quality to stand out…He’s the mastering engineer of choice for me, project after project. And he should be yours, too.

Adam’s mastering results were a breath of fresh air. He listens to the artist and delivers what they are looking for. Nothing sounds overdone or over processed, just musical and right for the material given.

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.

In my experience, it’s hard to find truly passionate mastering engineers. It’s been a pleasure working on many masters with Adam. His respect for the mixes and level of involvement with each of the tracks you send him is ridiculously refreshing. He treats each project with the same care and seriousness every time and delivers a polished and awesome sounding product.

Adam is my go-to mastering engineer on projects of all genres. Great service, great guy.
