The fact is mixing and mastering in Los Angeles is a talent in and of itself, just like musicians or vocalists. It takes drive and skill to perfect the talent. Engineers, producers and studio talent must go through the same rigors as any other artist. It is not enough to have a board and some equipment and the desire to produce the right sound. Expert mixing and mastering in Los Angeles takes work! When you are choosing the studio to handle your music you want to be sure that you choose the studio that looks at mixing and mastering as a profession.
The Professional
Studio mixing, producing, editing and other tasks require a special talent set that is a combination of formal training, a love of the craft and real world experience. Of course, state of the art equipment is also a necessity to get results. A lot of people do not realize that the combination of education, raw talent, the right equipment and a highly trained ear must come together in perfect harmony in the studio to get the best outcome. An easy way to understand the importance of a professional team for mixing, producing and mastering is to consider a tattoo artist. Anyone with a tattoo machine can give you a tattoo, but that does not mean you should not be looking for an actual artist because the results will vary!
The problem is, there is a lot of people out there with studio equipment that offer services, but that does not mean you will get the best outcome.
