EDITING
TIMING ALIGNMENT
Timing alignment is a crucial aspect of mixing a great song. It’s especially true for punk rock music, where fast tempos and rhythmic intensity are key factors. Even slight misalignments can lead to a lack of clarity and impact. A well-timed mix will not only sound tighter but will also resonate more powerfully with listeners.
PITCH CORRECTION
Pitch correction is a common aspect of modern music production. We utilize advanced tools to subtly refine vocal performances. This process can help achieve a polished sound without sacrificing the raw edge that punk rock embodies. We recognize the importance of striking a balance and ensuring that the emotional intensity of your performance shines through.
DRUM EDITING
Drum editing is an often necessary step in the mixing process, especially for punk music, where punch and energy are a must. The goal is to enhance the natural sound of the drums while ensuring they sit well in the mix. We accomplish this by a variety of approaches like layering in samples, noise reduction, fill editing and tuning.

Mastering is crucial for any band looking to ensure their music sounds polished and balanced across all playback systems. We focus on delivering affordable and high-quality masters that not only sound great but also meet industry standards.
MASTERING
Our mastering process includes:
TONAL ASSESMENT
We’ll listen to the mix to identify areas that require attention, noting any tonal imbalances, inconsistencies in dynamics, or technical flaws that need addressing.
EQUILIZATION
We’ll shape the frequency content, addressing tonal issues and ensuring a balanced sound.
COMPRESSION
We’ll use compression to help control the dynamic range, making the track sound louder and more punchy.
LIMITING
We’ll apply limiting to control peak levels and prevent clipping. This will ensure the track can be played at high volumes without distortion. Leveling ensures that the loudness level is appropriate and adheres to industry standards.
NOISE REDUCTION
We’ll identify and remove any unwanted clicks, pops or hums using noise reduction and editing tools.
EXPORT
Lastly, we’ll prepare the master for distribution by setting sample rates, file formats, and other export settings.
