AUDIO EDITING

If you are about to mix your song yourself or are ready to have it done by a third-party pro

Audio editing is a step you can't avoid going through

It's a time saver step and will assure you the best result possible

Don't start mixing without this work done by experts

Down below are the various levels of editing I provide

The more, the better.

Down below are the various levels of editing I provide

The more, the better.

EDITING basic

At the first level of editing, a comprehensive cleaning of each audio track is ensured by removing unwanted elements. This includes precise trim, fade in and out for every audio region, eliminating any unnecessary spaces, silence, and noise between the actual audio segments. Additionally, tracks are reordered and consolidated, starting from bar 1, to facilitate a smooth export/import process. Individual files are also renamed with unique and meaningful names, enhancing overall organization

Editing gtr plus

The second level of editing, designed for guitar and bass, goes one step further. In addition to the comprehensive cleaning provided in the basic editing package, this level includes precise time alignment for each guitar track to its homologous counterparts (e.g., double tracks of electric and acoustic guitars). The start and body of each part are synchronized at frame resolution, eliminating any unwanted and disliked ‘out of sync’ effects. This enhances the cohesion of your guitar and bass tracks, delivering a polished and professional sound experience.

The third level of editing introduces an additional enhancement—precise tuning correction using the powerful ‘Melodyne’ software. In addition to the detailed cleaning and time alignment from previous levels, the use of ‘Melodyne’ guarantees spot-on accuracy for each guitar and bass track. This advanced tuning correction adds a final touch of polish, ensuring that your recordings are not only well-crafted but also sonically seamless.

Editing vox plus

This stage of editing, specifically crafted for vocal tracks, takes the refinement process a step further. Beyond the thorough cleansing provided in the fundamental editing package, this level incorporates meticulous time alignment for each vocal track to its corresponding counterparts (e.g., harmonies or multiple takes). The start and body of each vocal segment are synchronized at frame resolution, eliminating any undesired ‘out of sync’ effects. This elevates the coherence of your vocal tracks, delivering a sophisticated and polished sonic experience.

Editing vox pro

Editing Vox Pro, brings in an extra refinement—precise tuning correction using the powerful ‘Melodyne’ software. In addition to the thorough cleaning and time alignment from earlier stages, the application of ‘Melodyne’ assures spot-on accuracy for each vocal track. This advanced tuning correction adds a final touch of polish, guaranteeing that your recordings are not just skillfully crafted but also sonically seamless.

Drums Audio Align

When recording an instrument with more than one mic,

sound tends to reach each microphone at a slightly different time,

causing some frequencies to cancel each other out and other frequencies to build up unnaturally.

This phenomenon is known as the comb-filter effect

Drums is the classic example of this "known issue"

If you want your drum to be sounding "on your face", this is the primary edit to do.

Editing drums pro

This editing process is primarily employed to address phase coherence issues that may arise when capturing the intricate nuances of an acoustic drum set using multiple microphones. Occasionally, this procedure becomes essential for refining guitar recordings as well, particularly when utilizing more than one microphone for both acoustic and electric guitars. As a result, beyond the fundamental editing level, this specialized treatment is highly recommended for optimizing the quality of multitrack drum recordings.

Reamping (Guitar / Bass)

Reamping is a versatile and powerful tool that offers a multitude of creative possibilities

and has become an essential part of the modern studio environment.

Let me take you on a journey through the remarkable benefits of reamping,

and why you should consider incorporating it into your recording and mixing processes.

GUITAR REAMP

What is Reamping?

Reamping is a cutting-edge technique that allows you to enhance and perfect your instrument’s tone after the initial recording. It’s the secret weapon used by top musicians and producers worldwide.
Here’s how it works and why you should use it:

  • Capture the Raw Magic: During your studio session, you record your instrument using a Direct Input (DI) box, preserving the raw, unprocessed signal. This captures your performance without worrying about the amplifier or right effects settings.
  • Endless Sonic Possibilities: Reamping allows you to explore a wide spectrum of tonal possibilities. With your dry unprocessed signal safely recorded from your instrument, you retain the flexibility to experiment with different amplifiers, effects, and settings at any point in your production process gaining access to an endless universe of tonal possibilities. I can reamp your performance through a variety of amplifiers, effects pedals, and processors, allowing you to fine-tune your sound to perfection. This means that you can easily switch between clean, crunchy, or heavily distorted tones, enabling you to find the perfect sound for your project. No more worrying about nailing the perfect tone during the recording session, as we can shape the sound precisely in post-production.

  • Mixing Magic: Reamped tracks seamlessly integrate into your mix, offering you the flexibility to adapt and fine-tune your instrument’s sound as your song evolves. This precise control ensures that your music sits perfectly in the mix, enhancing the overall listening experience.
  • Mistake Correction: Have you ever played a stellar performance on your instrument but weren’t entirely satisfied with the amplifier sound at the time? With reamping, you don’t have to worry about capturing the perfect tone during the recording. You can focus on your playing, and then revisit the tone-shaping process later, eliminating the pressure of getting it right in one take.
  • Consistency and Control: Reamping provides precise control over your sound. You can make fine adjustments to the tone, volume, and effects after the initial recording, ensuring a consistent and well-balanced mix. This control allows you to adapt the sound to different sections of a song or blend it seamlessly with other instruments.

In conclusion, reamping is a game-changer in the world of music production. Its tonal versatility, mistake correction capabilities, time efficiency, and control make it an indispensable tool for modern musicians and producers. It offers endless creative possibilities and opens doors to new soundscapes, ensuring that your music reaches its full potential. So, why not embrace the power of reamping and take your recordings and mixes to the next level? Your musical journey will thank you for it.

My mixing experiences

Mixing is a critical phase in the creation of a CD or any high-quality audio production. It’s the art of blending all the recorded sound elements from a studio or captured during a live performance into a cohesive and harmonious mix. A well-executed mix brings sound to life, transforming a collection of individual tracks into a captivating and engaging sonic experience for the listener.

As a sound engineer with a passion for mixing, I’ve dedicated years to perfecting my skill in creating mixes that capture the essence and energy of every song. My experience spans both live performance and studio environments, ensuring a deep understanding of the different contexts where mixing is essential.

However, if your objective (or budget) doesn’t necessitate such in-depth editing, it won’t be applied.
A stereo master, matching the original material’s sample rate and bit rate, will be provided.

Mixing Stems

Like Standard Mixing, but with the added feature of generating multiple stereo stems. These stems typically include:
Drums
Loop/Percussion
Bass
Guitars
Keyboards
Lead Vocal
Backing Vocals/Chorus

Mastering standard

Mastering from a single stereo mix track involves optimizing the audio spectrum (EQ) and dynamics (compression/limiting). The goal is to enhance sound pressure while preserving the original dynamics of the song. The price includes two revisions. A single stereo track, 44.1/16-bit CD-ready, will be provided.
Additional tracks with alternative formats of the same mastering (e.g., .mp3, .AAF, High Res .wav) are available at an additional cost, as are extra revisions beyond the standard two.
