Pulling from a lifetime of musical history, and tons of requests, Richard brings you his talents to give you the Indie Artist and Major labels, professional mixdowns of your music.
No song can be a hit without a solid, well balanced mix. There is nothing that compares to a professional mixdown of your music. It is very easy these days for bands to make relatively good recordings at home or in cheap studios but most musicians lack the skills, extensive expertise and experience required to create professional mixdowns of their tracks. What better person to have mixing your music than a recording artist himself that understands what it is you want to bring out in your music.
The mixing stage is one of the most, if not the most, important stages in the production of quality music. You may have the greatest track in the world but mixed incorrectly it can be ruined forever.
Richard Frankz Focuses on the Following Elements of Mixing
Balance - The most basic element of a mix. A great mix must start here first and without a good balance everything else is a waste of time. A good balance involves the arrangement and the levels of each track relative to the other tracks and the composition as a whole.
Stereo Image - Careful use of panning gives each track a space in the overall mix. Panning can create excitement by adding movement to the track and clarity to an instrument by moving it out of the way of other sounds that may be clashing with it.
Frequency Range -EQ is a very important part of mixing and can make or break a mix. EQ is used to make you tracks and mix sound bigger, fatter, brighter and clearer. EQ can make an instrument or the mix sound "larger than life". The idea behind EQ in the mix is to make the mix fit together by giving every instrument it's own predominant frequency range
Dimension (FX) - The addition of effects done properly gives the mix its ambience. Effects such as reverb, delay, chorus or modulation help to enhance the mix adding excitement and a sense of aural space. Effects can also be used to make a track sound bigger, wider, deeper and generally more interesting to the listener.
Dynamics (Compression & Gating) - The manipulation of dynamics plays a major role in the sound. Just about nothing else can affect your mix as much or in so many ways as compression. Correct use of compression will make your track sound bigger, louder and punchier. Gating is used carefully to remove spill from recordings giving instruments more clarity in the mix.
Interest - This is something we focus on that helps push the core elements of the mix. Identification of the most important elements such as a groove, particular vocals or instruments are considered and emphasized during the mixing process. This process gives more interest to the track from the audience perspective.
All these important elements of your track help to ensure power and clarity in the final mixdown. Richard Frankz can turn your music into something that people will want to listen to over and over again.
