Needing a mix and Master for this Dance/Pop track I'm thinking an electro sexy feel for the fx (Example - Auto Tune, Vocoder etc) I want to make sure that the pitch is on point. Anyone interested?

REALLY?! Are we collectively hibernating? Talent strike? Kompoz on standby?... ('Trail of sparks' is waiting for your lyrics/songwriting/vocals.)

Goodnight everyone. I have a question about the recording of a Ukulele. My means are limited, a condenser microphone and another dynamic one. What would be the best way to use them to record a ukulele?

Hello engineers! I was playing around with some binaural panning for a mix today. I think it's quite a cool tool to have in one's palette. Does anyone here have experience with it? Any tips to share? PS: This is a mix without the vocals so you can better hear the panning. Mix is not final as I'm waiting for real bass and drums.

Goodnight everyone. I want to ask a question about mastering. Is it better to master a song at the same time the mix is made or as a finished track? Either compression and equalization on the master track or treat the track as a new project. Thank you.

Mastering JustVera... I've been reading a lot about the magic in mastering. And I just love magic. Just about all theory audio-engineers write makes sense to me. But somehow I haven't heard solid proof of additional magic on my tracks produced in this last phase. And being a passionate perfectionist composer/producer I'm wondering why. Being aware of my weaknesses/limits in the audio engineering area, I tried to master the final mixed versions of my tracks with the help of other Kompozers several times now. Muted all fx, exported all individual instruments as dry as a bone and kept my fingers crossed. But... I didn't meet the engineer yet who produced a clearer, brighter and/or more exciting version of my original. And yet I'm convinced it could be done. My usual workflow creating a track is that I start with the first (midi)instrument. (All done in Reason9.5). Four or eight bars. Looping for hours trying all different kinds of settings, notes, timings, velocities AND any kind of fx. I polish it until it sounds the way I like it best. Then I add a second instrument, following exactly the same procedure, but in conjunction with the first track. This flow goes on until the first bars are filled with all instruments. From there on the rest of the song develops. Once the last note has died out, I present my track to the Kompoz community for help to finish it. Sometimes to redo some of my instruments, but mostly to add solos, lyrics and vocals. If I get lucky I add the respective wavs, close the project and publish the final version on http://justvera.com/. Over the years I produced two online albums: https://open.spotify.com/album/48UsU60zus9hrrJfNNvf75 (2014) https://open.spotify.com/album/35Uc2Txve0bZy080qtwb2c (2018). Currently I'm working on the 2020 album, which I really want to stand out from a mastering point of view as well. So... I'ld love to team up with an engineer to produce/master the next JustVera album. If you like JustVera and you feel challenged, please do send me a PM!
