Our way to the perfect mastered song
First of all it´s the ability to detect flaws and knowing how a balanced track should sound like. This is achieved thru a combination of things, experience being the most important.
As engineers we need a listening environment thats neutral in terms of frequency , phase and transient response. This way we can detect any anomalies in the track and correct it with confidence. We listen to your music thru a 30.000$ monitor system perfectly tuned down to 17hz. This means we will hear any flaws and be able to fix them.
Listening to the artist and their vision for the track is very important. A mix or master can go in many directions depending on taste or use case. Be sure to list a reference track that captures some of the balance and levels you would like to get close to.
