Call us to discuss your project, we'll be happy to work with your budget. 503-383-1555 With the exceptions of writing a great song and giving good performances, mixing is hands down the most important part of the recording process. Mixing is complex, but in simple terms involves creating a cohesive mixture of all the individual parts and performances that make up a song or track. Various techniques to achieve this includes adjusting frequencies utilizing equalization, using dynamic processing to control volumes and unwanted peaks, creating space by using effects like reverb and delays. Some tracks may need very little added to keep a natural and real sound, while others may require heavy amounts of processing to obtain a slick, polished sound that may end up on radio. We could fill up hundreds of pages writing about mixing, but if you're here, you probably realize to get the best results, you need to hire a professional. Mixing is subjective like art. There is good art and bad art. Mix engineers spend their entire life trying to achieve the ultimate mix. We have 25 years of experience on our quest, and we continually strive for greater results. Benefit from our experience After the introduction of the magnetic tape in the late 1940s, mastering became a very specialized and highly prized skill. It was often conducted in studios by engineers wearing white lab coats and became known as something strange and mysterious, incomprehensible by most people. We feel the urge to demystify. Mastering is simply the last step in preparing your recorded and mixed audio content for duplication, replication or digital downloading. Proper mastering will give your tracks a cohesive feel and "gloss" that is a signature of higher quality commercial releases. It ensures that the volume is consistent from track to track, and deals with any potential frequency problems. And yes, mastering is the process of making your songs "louder" in simple terms. Unlike recording and mixing, mastering is less subjective. There is a level of depth and clarity that can be achieved. The goal is to elevate the mixed content to the highest possible level. Mastering should be crafted by an experienced engineer with well trained ears and the technical ability to bring out the best in your audio. Mastering is absolutely necessary if you want what's best for your project.

Working with Jason at Wavelength was a great experience. His contribution to my project was multi-faceted... drummer, engineer, mixer, sounding board... he does it all really well.
