Remote Mixing

When it comes time to polish off a piece of music or video, rounding out the project with sound and music mastering is typically where you turn to. Music mastering is a giant umbrella term that touches on a variety of subjects including ADR recording and mixing. If you have limited experience operating as a sound engineer, you might find yourself quickly lost on what to do or where to go with your work.

​

Sound design is an immensely important element when it comes to video and audio production. A film cannot tell its full story without appropriate audio and music certainly cannot be enjoyed without mixing and mastering. This highly specialized field is integral to the success of your gig, so where should you turn to in your time of need?

Enjoy Remote Mixing and Remote Mastering at Big Break Sound

​

If you are new to the world of professional audio design, you likely aren't quite sure what mixing and mastering sound entails. Mixing and mastering are two aspects of sound design that help to turn a raw track into a final product. Let's break down each aspect of this service for your benefit.

​

1. What is a remote mixing professional?

​

When a sound engineer works on the mixing aspect of your project, they are focused on individually adjusting and combining your audio tracks. This involves compiling individual tracks into their final multichannel or stereo outputs.

​

Mixing involves setting filters, balancing your EQ, applying effects like reverb, delay, and modulation.

The “remote” aspect of the job is a new challenge that we’ve had to face during the pandemic. However, we have developed new methods to keep the same quality and workflow even while everyone stays safe at home.

 

2. What is a remote mastering professional?

Mastering is just the other side of the coin when it comes to sound engineering. Master involves all of the finishing touches and processing necessary to turn your project into the final, fully-featured mix that you've been dreaming of.

​

Mastering involves setting compressors and limiters while focusing on stereo wideners, metering, and processing. Both tasks are routinely accomplished by the same engineer though workflows will vary based on the individuals performing the task.

​

As with remote mixing, we have invested in new tools and processes to keep up with the quality you’ve come to expect while working at a safe distance. 

​

3. What is a remote recording?

​

We've come a long way since the first disc-cutting machines of the '20s and '30s. Now artists of every budget and experience level can enjoy professionally produced audio from the comfort of their local studio. Remote recording presents additional challenges compared to recording in a single location, but Big Break Sound has stepped up to the plate and taken care of these lingering concerns.

​

Now, remote recording is possible while sacrificing none of the quality or speed you have come to expect. By using new tools like Audio Movers, Sound Trap, and Google Meet, we have been able to record, mix,and master material from our studio without difficulty. 

​

There are many reasons to consider hiring a mixing and mastering professional. While it is possible thanks to the internet to learn the ropes on your own, it will likely be more time-intensive and resource-intensive than you might want to deal with. In these situations, you can turn to our team at Big Break Sound to lead the way.
