I’ve been doing a lot of live sound lately so I thought I’d talk about a few important comparisons between studio and live mixing. In many ways live is similar to studio mixing, but in some ways it is a lot different, particularly in smaller gigs where they don’t do a full sound check for [...]

Since I talked about mixing in the last post, and I’ve been getting a lot of mastering work lately, I thought I would talk a little about mastering. Even more often than with mixing, people don’t know what mastering is or what the process entails. Some think mastering is just a process of limiting songs [...]
