We get questions from young artists and producers who are trying to prepare their mixes for mastering. Sometimes, they want to know what they can do to emulate the effects of high quality mastering without actually having to spend the money. Either way, we like to take time out and help, because we remember what [...]
The following studio story comes from our friend, Scott Haskin. We worked together for the first time this year, and have thoroughly enjoyed his music and his attitude.

Hey guys, Will here. I have an embarassing story to tell you…
Today, I picked up an old budy who was getting his car serviced, and took him out to lunch. So, on the way to the food place, we were catching up, I wasn’t paying attention, and when we parked, I locked my only car [...]
Because I’ve been playing drums even longer than I’ve been mastering, I’m really picky about the drum sound on my own recordings, and I want to share with you how you can mix your drum tracks with mastering in mind. If you’re in the studio right now, or if you do your own recording, this [...]
Video post from Will @ SoundOps about 3rd-Party Mastering, and the disadvantages of letting your recording engineer (or the guy working on your mix) also master your tracks. Recording, Mixing, and Mastering require different gear, different skills, and - believe it or not - different ears.
