NOISE REMOVAL: JoyWalk Music (of Memphis TN) restores and improves masters that have too much noise by removing hiss, distortions, clicks, and pops, using Waves™ Restoration tools.
EQ-ING: One of the most important steps in mastering is applying just the right amount of equalization to the original mix and knowing what frequencies to alter and which ones to leave alone. Next to compression, this is probably the most crucial step. JoyWalk uses the newest generation equalizers that, unlike older analog gear, won’t alter the phase correlation of your mixes.
COMPRESSION: Compression can hugely alter the perception of a mix, but too much will result in a loud but lifeless and thus boring master. Too little won’t push the track with enough force to the listener, or, as in classical orchestral music, will be simply too much dynamic difference for normal listening situations. The character and sonic signature depends largely on what kind of compressor is being used and what specific settings are being applied. JoyWalk Music has a huge range of state of the art tools to accomplish this in a world class way.
Your music deserves the finest in care and experience. We will add the ultimate spices to your already great mix. Taking your mix to the next level at a price you can afford.
If your music is your investment, you can't skip these crucial steps.
EFFECTS: Sometimes, we use our little trade secrets to create enhancements that vastly improve the original mix. An ambiance that wasn’t there in the original recording, a bass signal that couldn’t be heard even with eq-ing and compression, Stereo Imaging techniques to enhance and alter stereo separation, an effect that helps connect the listener to the next part of the song.
EDITING: Track assembly, sequencing, and fading between tracks are done using the editing tools of our Samplitude V8 digital stations. Our Memphis clients trust our musical expertise and editing skills to create for them a final product that is seamless and captures the musical sensibility of the recording artist.
BURNING: This is the only non-musical stage, the burning of the master CD, usually done at low speed or real-time for accuracy and bit preservation.
