Audio sample provided is a self-switching before&after track, starts with before, and switches back and forth to the pre-mastering and post-mastering tracks several times.
Basri Hayran, a graduate of SAE Audio Engineering Diploma Program, has 20 years of experience as a recording and performing musician, 7 years of experience as a recording, mixing, live audio and mastering engineer. Best ability is understanding the music both as objective listeners' and musician/producers' way. I will get your music and how you want to sound! :)) And make grammy award winning quality masters that will get your sound to the next level.
The process is basically you send me your final mix. In turn, I send you a sample master of 30 seconds of your track. After you approve the sample, I will share a document with some questions for you to answer, and for me to get a better understanding of the project according to that answers. I master the project and take it to my award-winning sensei; Blake La Grange. We go through it together, and I send you the final masters. Then, we have unlimited revisions. And boom! You've got your top quality masters.
