Mixing focuses on each individual instrument or component of the song and allows the engineer more freedom and control when shaping the elements of the song. By focusing on each individual instrument the mix engineer can improve elements of sound design as well as adding artistic effects such as reverb or delay to a song. It is important to have a mix that you are happy with before sending it off to be mastered.
Mastering is the final process in music creation and distribution. It involves making minor adjustments to shape and enhance an already final mix. The goal is to get the best sound before distribution. This process involves more than just stereo processing but important attention and detail in removing unwanted clicks or pops that may have occurred during the recording process. Once the desired outcome has been reached the mastering engineer will create metadata for the client to be distributed digitally by formats like Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon HD, TIDAL etc. I focus solely on digital distribution and do not create CDs, vinyl, or cassettes.

I offer up to three free revisions. Which is about the number needed to usually satisfy the client.
