• Mixing is taking all the pieces of a song (instruments and vocals) and blending them together. This process uses effects such as reverb, EQ, and compression. It’s a complicated process and for more information check out this link: Wikipedia article about mixing.

Studio 607 can do some basic mastering tasks. If you just want to give your CD to others and are not planning a release then we should be able to accommodate you. However, for projects you plan to release for sale we recommend a studio dedicated to the task. Mastering is a VERY complicated process and uses extremely specialized gear. For these jobs we usually recommend Bill Wolf to our clients as we find he is wonderful in any genre.
