Mastering
Blending and combining individual recorded sounds into a stereo final mix. Evren uses the lost art of aligned VU Meter balancing (based on classic large format analog consoles of yore) for mix balancing—providing the most musical and impactful result and preserving section-to-section dynamics. This is usually part of a mix/master package—ultimate control for major label results.
