ONLINE MIXING

ONLINE MIXING STUDIO

At Upaya Sound, my recording studio on the edge of Hamburg, I provide online mixing for artists of any genres loosely related to alternative rock, indie and folk. I will take your raw audio tracks and process them with analogue and digital EQ, compression and effects, turning them into a coherent mix with depth, clarity and punch.

Before I get started, I like to get together with artists and talk about what their mix should sound like and if there are any artists or records they are looking to emulate. Taking a handful of influences and blending the different sounds and styles together can create a fresh and original sounding recording. By discussing the goals beforehand, we are on the same page for the project and can get straight to work creating the right sound.

Mixed And Mastered Online

Get your music mixed and mastered online by a professional mixing engineer who not only provides maximum creative input where need be, but also knows when to let the artist guide him through the process with their musical vision in mind.

I specialise in modern, left-field rock recordings and feel most at home working with genres such as post rock, progressive rock, stoner and psychedelic. My musical background and experience as a live engineer has also given me a deep understanding of other genres such as indie, folk and classic rock music.

BEFORE AND AFTER MIXING

So, what do my mixes sound like? In order to give you an idea of what I can do for you with my online mixing and mastering service, I have put together some before and after clips of tracks I have worked on. As you will see, the difference between the raw recordings and the final product is immense. Have a listen for yourself!

LISTENING TO THE MIX VS LISTENING TO THE SONG

The best mix is the one that you don’t notice. Have you ever really listened to the mix of an album? Have you noticed that the instruments themselves sometimes don’t sound as you would expect when you really focus on them? Mixing music is less about making the individual tracks sound great, and more about slotting each instrument next to the others and creating harmony across the entire audio spectrum.

With EQ, I filter out an unnecessary or unwanted frequencies and enhance the sounds that need to be more present. Compression tames the transients and lifts up the foundation of each instrument, making them thicker and smoother. With reverb, delay and other spectral and temporal effects, I create an intriguing soundscape to keep the listener interested and one their toes.

In the digital age, I am able to provide online mixing with all project communication via telephone and internet. Once the project is finished, I will supply you with the final stereo audio files per download link.

Alternatively, we can meet up in the studio and listen to the mixes face to face. Whatever you prefer.

ONLINE MIXING AND MASTERING

I provide full project service from the recording stage, to editing, mixing and mastering. For artists who have tracked their album themselves, I offer online mixing and mastering, the latter through partner studios such as Plätlin Mastering in Hamburg.

I find it is best to support artists through the entire album production process. I use my ears and experience to give advice and use my skills as an audio engineer so you can focus entirely on the performance.
