What's The Next Step After Recording?

Often times as musicians we are perfectionists when it comes to our music. You want your songs to be the best they can be. And so you set out to create great songs, spending tons of time arranging, writing, and composing. Once you've got the ideas laid out, it's time to move on to the next phase:

Recording. 

So you rehearse every day for a week getting your songs perfect, and then you head to the studio. You spend hours, days, weeks, and sometimes months laying down your tracks to get the best possible recording you can. Every day you pour blood, sweat, and tears into your music to get the best sounding tracks you can.

Then the recording phase is done. But, what's next?

You listen to your songs but they still don't sound like you envisioned them in your head. When you listen to them next to other professional songs they sound more quiet, less punchy, less dynamic, and well, just not as good.

So where do you go from here?

You want to sell your songs on iTunes and Amazon and all the other major sites, but you need a professional sounding project to do that. In a market flooded with music, you need your song to stand out. So what's the next step?

Mixing.

This is where the mixing phase comes in. Mixing takes your recorded tracks that you've poured so much time into, and enhances them, bringing out the vision you had in your head for the song. Mixing uses creative processes and technical know-how's to take your song to the next level. Mixing makes your song more clear, punchy, dynamic, and louder.
