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…

Mix Bus Compression is Glue for Your Mix

What folks are saying

Adam Matza at Magic Ears Mastering did an amazing job mastering my instrumental album! He understood the sound and vibe I was going for and delivered exactly what we had discussed. His skills were very precise and thorough. He kept me informed throughout the whole process and was a pleasure to work with. Adam turned my productions and mixes into something even more special. I cannot wait to work with him again on future projects. If you want pristine quality at a very affordable price as well as an outstanding turnaround time, do not hesitate to hit him up asap!

I finally got a listen to the mastered recording you did for me. My first thought, when the intro started, was “smooth.” My emotional response as the track progressed could best be described as joy. I hear both a fullness and presence in the track that was lacking before. I didn’t know that was lacking as I sent you the best sounding track of anything I have done. I released an album last year just to friends and family, but if all my tracks sounded this good I’d be trying to get more people to listen to it. Thank you so much. I love it!

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.

As an artist, I’m always looking to improve my work. I couldn’t be more happy with how my album turned out. I appreciate Adam’s professionalism and his Magic Ears!
He’s the man!

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.

Love it! Well done!! I love that it has the nice, deep low end we put in the mix…sounds nice and loud without being compressed/limited to death.

I’m really stoked with the work you’ve done…really dramatic improvement in the clarity and punch, especially of the low end. I have other finished songs that could absolutely benefit from your work.

We took Adam up on his generous offer of any track mastered under five minutes for free. We sent him a bit of a dud song but he managed to make that sound cool, so we paid him to do “a proper track,” supplied him with the stems and that was so freeking awesome we are now listening to our complete full album, mixed and mastered by Adam and Magic Ears. Our vocals have never sounded so right. I mean I know she’s got a great voice, but the mix of her voice and my chaotic instrumentals is sublime. Sounding great on numerous systems. Gonna be a proud day when our Album hits the stores smile emoticon Thanks Adam! Great work!!

To get comparable mastering quality to Adam’s masters you would normally have to spend a couple hundred dollars on one song. His process ensures that the very best elements of a mix are revealed, the final product is left with remarkable tonal balance and is highly pleasing to the ears. His commitment to making sure his clients are happy with the end result is unparalleled. It’s certainly the best value that I’m aware of in terms of mastering. Highly recommended!

He is easy to work with. You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend using Magic Ears Mastering for all your musical needs!
