MUSIC SECOND, MONEY THIRD

WHY IS MIXING IMPORTANT?
Getting your new record mixed and mastered is similar to furnishing your new home. The rough mix of your song serves as the blueprint of the house. The mixer and mastering enginer are the trusted interior designers with the taste and skill set to create an atmosphere that makes you feel at home and genuinely represent who you are as an artist.
As your mixing engineer, Nacor will have the opportunity to:
-
Take your song from being a promising rough mix to being a mixed record that truly channels your vision and captures your essence as an artist.
-
Make your song feel cohesive and musical, where each part of the arrangement plays its role without flaw.
-
Reveal the root conversation between the instruments in the arrangement and rediscover the song you envisioned.
-
Create an all-in-one 3-dimensional feel in your song (height, width, and depth) that can transport the listener to a true listening experience of art.

your music cut through the noise.

WHY IS MASTERING IMPORTANT?
The Mastering process is the final creative stage before releasing your record. We like to think of mastering as carefully placing different colorful blocks into one solid box where they all fit perfectly. Nacor will take your mixed songs and add a sheen that will bring them together into a finished record.
As your Mastering Engineer, Nacor will have the opportunity to optimize and enhance each individual mix by establishing a consistency in EQ and loudness perception throughout your entire record.
Your final master will be prepared and delivered in the format that best suits your needs; WAV, DDP, PMCD and Mastered for iTunes are some of the common options. ISRC codes, UPC code and CD Text (artist, tittle and track names) and other metadata can be embedded in your PMCD and DDP formats.
MASTERING FOR VINYL 'THE LOST ART'
Vinyl is being left behind by the average listener, leaving audiophiles to be the major consumer of this audio medium. To audiophiles, the vinyl version of many records tends to sound better than the CD version. This is one of the principal reasons why some passionate artists still invest in the production of this traditional way of delivering music to their audience.
SOME TECHNICAL ASPECTS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN READYING YOUR MASTERS FOR VINYL:
-
Mastering for vinyl meets particular sonic standards and specifications (including low end, width of the stereo image, maximum output level, audio resolution, and sample rate) that suit the delicate lacquer's surface for proper transfer of your music from the digital to analog domain.
-
The cutting system is just as important as the making process of the vinyl masters at the mastering house. Having a good cutting engineer, a good sounding lathe, and all the required equipment are three crucial aspects for the success of the cutting process and generating good sounding master lacquers.
