We've been working on a bunch of classical pieces lately, it's been a great experience. Here's one of those pieces, you may recognize the song:

Chariots Of Fire - mixdown & master project Mixdown and master project ...

Been awhile Facebook! But we've added a new before/after clip, this time in the realm of the classical guitar! LISTEN NOW:
- Started out with 2 guitar tracks originally recorded in mono
- applied layered stereo panning techniques & stereo widening processing to achieve a stereo sound-stage similar to a stereo pair mic'd recording
- then mixed and mastered

Acoustic Guitar - Mono Recording Enhanced To Stereo - Started out with 2 guitar tracks originally recorded in mono - applied layered stereo panning techniques & stereo widening processing to achieve a stereo soundstage similar to a stereo pair mic'd

I use the CLA stuff quite a bit in mixdown and stem mastering sessions, it really beefs things up! And this is only $29 at the moment...

Sometimes getting a stem master over a regular master can really pay off.

Utilizing effective panning can really open up a mix

Extremely stoked about this new testimonial and moving into working on classical/soundtrack genres. :)

Always such an honor and feeling of validation when you get great feedback from long time veterans such as Inkfish :)

"Tony, this is excellent work. I did not think you would be able to restore the masters this much to be honest, as I wrote before, I did some severe mistakes in the premasters that became apparent when hearing the mastered, and you did manage to save that with ease.
I am very very pleased with the outcome - and the effort you put into this." - Andreas Hermansson, Inkfish
