Mixing & Mastering Engineer

Michael van Gelder on SoundBetter

When mixing and/or mastering, I strive placing the instruments in the sound filed to create the proper sound stage along with adding an explosive and dynamic experience.

"With years of experience in the music industry, I specialize in bringing out the best in your music, ensuring clarity, balance, and a polished sound that stands out. Whether you're an independent artist or a seasoned producer, I provide mastering services designed to elevate your tracks to industry standards. Let’s perfect your sound and make it shine."

How I work to get you the best result for your music:
With mastering, your final mix is COMPLETE. All effects are "baked in" on the individual tracks, the levels are set, and I am receiving ONE stereo .WAV file to finalize.

Streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, etc all volume limit now. The tracks on these services are limited (around -14LUFS). They all also require a -1db True Peak. The master is optimized to work best with these requirements.

**NOTE:

16 bit or 24 bit WAV files are best. AIFF files work, **I will NOT work with mp3's.**

Please make sure there is no limiter on your master/stereo out, and that there is at least a few db's of headroom with NO clipping anywhere on any of the tracks. Ensuring it's not too loud will help a lot with the final master.
