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

As a professional mixing engineer, I can always trust that Adam at Magic Ears is going to deliver a top-notch master for my clients. He works closely with me, letting me know, for example, that my kick drum is either too beefy or not beefy enough!

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!

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!

Adam Matza is incredibly talented and has a gifted ear for music. He will make your songs sparkle and shine in a way that you never thought possible. He is professional. He gets the job done quickly. He is easy to work with. You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend using Magic Ears Mastering for all your musical needs!

I have had a few experiences with different mastering engineers, but my experience with Adam was the best.

He really separates himself by asking questions and trying to get inside the mind of the songwriter. It’s abundantly clear throughout the process that he cares a lot about taking your music as far as it possibly can go.

Once we were done, Adam was available for consultancy and general knowledge share. Adam is a cool and talented guy who was reliable, professional, and compassionate throughout my time working with him; he has earned my highest recommendation.

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!!

Never have I worked with a mastering engineer who made such a difference to my record. The before and after comparisons are something to laugh at, my mixes sounded weak in contrast to the final result. Every meticulous detail was given attention by Adam. I’ll be going back to Magic Ears Mastering for all my projects in the future. Couldn’t be happier with my work in the hands of Adam.

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!

Emily Keebler of The GoldzAsheville, NC

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!

Mack StephensAsheville

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.
