So the question is, can I make your music sound better? If only it was that simple.

 

Leaving, for now, the I part out of it, let's consider 'make the music sound better.' Different playback devices have different sound characteristic s... to put it mildly. A cell phone and a serious sound system are quite different. Enter the 'reference' sound system.

 

Reference sound systems are not for sale. The components to create such a system are. A reference sound system is ACCURATE. It faithfully reproduces what was recorded. It adds nothing, subtracts nothing and, as importantly, has the power to make the sound stage come to life. Then the sound system is matched to the room in which it will be used, or vice-versa, and probably some of both.

 

The reference audio system I will use to massage your music uses 7 amps (6 power) and 12 drivers in two distinct but not separate systems, one of which is tri-amped. The tri-amped system uses 6 power amps that drive a speaker of their very own - nothing between the amp and speaker but wire. My system produces 1,500 RMS watts, in theory. Actually doing that would be another story...

 

I DO NOT 'civilize' my work. The bass goes down to 10Hz or less. I don't roll it off. If your 'lil speaker buzzes, that's your problem. I use the stunning capabilities of modern digital audio editing to get the most from every cut I produce. Most people with moderate equipment say my work sounds better.

 

 

DIGITAL AUDIO EDITING

 

 

Audio can be edited, just like still images or video. Audio edits of existing music fall into two categories: Mastering, and RE-Mastering. Audio that is not music can be edited as well - for clarity, noise reduction and making the volume uniform, throughout the clip.

 

MASTERING:

 

Usually, Mastering is associated with high-dollar recording studios. There is another way, and it works quite well. All you need is a room, a computer and the sound system you already have. If you have a band (etc) get in touch. I'll show you how to do this on the cheap, but still well.

 

REMASTERING:

 

Sadly, the individual tracks are seldom available. It would be logical to believe a well-mastered song can not be improved much. That is false.

 

Professionally mastered tracks must include everyone; a guy with a boom box or, even worse, a transistor radio with a three inch speaker! What you get from me might make that 'lil speaker buzz... or, set it on fire .) Oh, well.
