Having a pro engineer who mixes and masters in studio ironed out all those issues and really elevated my sound to a new level. I also found that I was giving alot of time and energy to learning mixing when all I wanted to do was write and record music. My mixing environment wasnt in the best space either so moves I made during the mixing process in my room didnt translate over to other systems very well. My main focus was trying to get my vocals to sound right but I often overlooked alot of the other aspects of the song. The reason I made the jump from doing it myself to using an engineer was because I would always be unhappy with my results in someway. I taught myself all the necessary steps needed to get a song to an industry standard sound and now that I'm working with an engineer I'm able to talk in technical terms he understands which makes communication that much easier. This was a good learning experience for me. I do this so I can sit in on mixing/mastering sessions and build a sound with my engineer.įor years I did it by myself trying to learn how to do engineer. Only one engineer mixes and masters my songs.
