MUSIC PRODUCTION AT IT'S FINEST

After capturing each instrument or vocal as clearly as possible, the recording is given to a mix engineer where he or she will make it listenable so that it enhances the emotional communication of the song, and balances out each frequency. We have highly advanced mix engineers whose skills lie in mixing and mastering.

Mixing

OUR ENGINEERS

Mastering

Mixing is the technique of blending all of the individual tracks in a recording to create a version of the song that sounds as good as possible. This is called "the mix”.

The process can be comprised of:

Balancing the levels of the tracks that have been recorded
Fine-tuning the sound of each instrument or voice using equalization (EQ)
“Panning” the tracks between speakers to create a stereo image
Adding reverb, compression, and other effects to enhance the original recording

Mixing sometimes includes a bit of editing – choosing the best bits of every take of a song, and sometimes even building musical elements from scratch. Sometimes there is so much editing involved it forms a separate stage in between tracking and mixing.

OUR ENGINEERS

Mastering

Mastering is the process of turning a song or collection of songs into a final master for manufacturing so that it translates well across systems: CD player, radio, computer, car stereo, phone, etc.

The process involves:

Balancing the level and tonal balance (EQ) of songs
Controlling the dynamic range - how loud and quiet each section is, for the right musical balance of variety and power
Compressing, EQing, M/S Processing and Limiting so the song is polished
Creating a secure, reliable manufacturing master, including PQ information, UPC/EAN codes, ISRCs, CD-Text

This can vary from being a very subtle process, involving minor tweaks to polish the existing mixes, to occasionally being a complete rescue mission for problem songs, or where detailed restoration is needed.

OUR ENGINEERS

At Goon Squad Entertainment Music Group Studios, we have engineers who specialize in post-production. As mixing and mastering are different processes from tracking, their skills lie in revealing every detail in a recording while also being able to proficiently balance and fine-tune the song so that it is listenable and communicates perfectly to every audience.

THE NECESSARY STEP TO FINALIZE YOUR TRACK

All commercially released music that you hear on the radio or on television has been mixed. At Goon Squad Entertainment Music Group Studios, you can work with our dedicated mix engineers in our studio rooms to finalize your music.

CANCELLATION POLICIES

If for any reason you need to cancel your studio time completely, please notify management immediately. For all cancellations, the initial 50% deposit is forfeited and non-refundable - no exceptions.

TARDINESS POLICIES

Appointment times have been arranged specifically for you. If you arrive late, your session may be shortened in order to accommodate others whose sessions follow yours. Depending upon how late you arrive, your engineer will then determine if there is enough time remaining to start the session.
Regardless of the length of the session, you will be responsible to pay for the entire session.
Out of respect and consideration to your engineer and other clients, please plan accordingly and be on time.

BEFORE YOUR SESSION

We use Pro Tools HD which is the industry standard in a tracking/mixing room. If you do not use ProTools, be sure upload or bring your stems to us before or on the day of your session.
You can use either a thumb drive or hard drive to bring in your session files or tracks. You also have the option of utilizing Dropbox or WeTransfer (please send to info@goonsquadentertainmentmusicgroup.com). Many prefer to email files so they will be here upon arrival and you can spend more time in your session recording.
We encourage all of our clients to review a map of our location (Fort Worth, TX). Due to traffic and depending on time of day, always plan on leaving 30-45 minutes prior to ensure that you're not late for your session.

DURING YOUR SESSION

Editing your files, burning your music onto a CD and transferring your files are all done within your session time.
Your engineer will always provide an mp3 or wav file of your music during your session. If you would like your raw session files (the Pro Tools session) as well, please bring your hard drive the day of your session so the engineer can provide them for you within your scheduled time. If you do not have a hard drive, the engineer can send your session files via Dropbox during your session’s scheduled time. If you request your session files after your session has commenced, there will be a minimum charge of forty dollars ($40) for us to put your session files on your hard drive OR send them to you via Dropbox. Files sent via Dropbox must be downloaded within 14 days of your files being uploaded into Dropbox.
With your approval and entirely at your discretion, we may take a quick photo of your recording. Within 24-28 hours, we share this photo with an appropriate caption on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We find that this promotional tactic not only helps our studio, but provides fantastic advertising of you as artist within the music industry.

AFTER YOUR SESSION

After your session, we encourage you to stay in touch with your engineer or producer for any edits or revisions needed. However, your engineer will not always be able to assist you in booking your next session. The only way to book studio time is to call our front desk at (817) 569-0121.
If you would like your session files (the Pro Tools session), after your session has commenced, there will be a minimum charge of fifty dollars ($50) for us to put your session files on your hard drive OR send them to you via Dropbox. Files sent via Dropbox must be downloaded within 14 days of your files being uploaded into Dropbox.
Studio Drives will be cleared every six (6) months. To ensure that your files are not forever lost, be sure to obtain them during or soon after your session.
We will be in contact with you via email and phone to ensure that you received the highest quality customer service while at Goon Squad Entertainment Music Group. We often ask for a testimonial to publish on our website and further promote you as an artist in our community.

EDITS & REVISIONS

Although we use Pro Tools as our DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), we primarily use analog equipment in all of our tracking and mixing sessions which contributes to our superior sound quality! To recall a session, it can take up to 10-30 minutes just to be fully setup prior to doing any revisions.
For this reason, there is a minimum charge of fifty dollars ($50) for edits or mix revisions of any kind. Normal hourly rates apply for anything over 30 minutes worth of work. This policy excludes mix packages and bundles which will be specified upon booking.

GENERAL POLICIES & REGULATIONS

For the comfort of all staff and clients, please refrain from smoking inside the studio. Our designated smoking areas are located on the side of the building and on the benches in front of the studio lobby.
All illegal drug substances and weapons of any kind that are harmful or disruptive are strictly prohibited inside of Goon Squad Entertainment Music Group Studios.
We reserve the right to deny entry or refuse business without refund, liability or compensation if the circumstances so require.
Goon Squad Entertainment Music Group policies and regulations are subject to change without notice.
Use of Clear Track's logo on paper fliers, digital fliers, CD's, DVD's, banners or other promotional material is strictly prohibited without official written release by management.
