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

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.

I don’t know where to begin to say “Thank you” to Adam at Magic Ears Mastering.

Adam took great personal care and interest while mastering The Cravens latest release, “The Dark Side Of Love,” which will be out on August 2nd, 2019.

Great detail and concern was taken in order to find out exactly what the band was looking for: Phone conversations, step by step texts discussing the process and pros / cons of everything concerning frequencies and the entire mastering process. I could tell instantly that Adam is a pro and loves what he does. We could hear it in the final product. No disappointments here. Adam took his time…not a rush job, like other mastering services used in the past. And very reasonably priced. Adam is top notch. Highly recommended by The Cravens!

Magic Ears Mastering RULEZ! Adam Matza does an excellent job. He has great ears and rock n roll instincts.

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.

This is an excellent company to do business with. Adam really knows his stuff. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or outcome for my project. Thanks Adam! Keep up the good work!

I had high expectations and you blew them out of the water. I’ve worked with other mastering companies in the past and was always disheartened by the results, but this is genuinely impressive. I’m extremely pleased.

Adam Matza mastered one of my songs and I love it. He is like a music chef, puts in just enough of each Ingredient, and it came out TASTY!

Lisa Putnam-ThayerMiami, FL

The song was mastered by Adam Matza of Magic Ears Mastering who is a miracle worker. I purposely recorded this as lo-fi as I could because I was going for an aesthetic I was calling “Lame-Fi” at the time. Later I regretted it because I liked the album so much, but it was so crappily recorded. However, Adam took the track and gave it a sheen and dynamics I never would have imagined it could ever have unless I recorded it over. Now I’m going to release the album as far and wide as a nobody like me can, and it’s mostly thanks not only to Adam’s wizardry, but his endless advice offered to my endless questions.

I could best describe your mix as “precise.” You’ve got an excellent ear. Over the last 40 years, I’ve taken seven bands into a recording studio and only one other engineer has managed to give me as good a guitar sound as you did. And you did it under the worst of circumstances: with a guitar recorded on a software modeling amp! Nice job with the bass, too. Great work!
