My two original songs have been added to the Beatport charts today! It would be great if you could help me get into the top 50. As an incentive everyone that buys FTCA from Beatport ($2.49) will receive 50% off the drum package that we are offering in the store.
Here is the link to the drum package:

Thanks for all of your support! Hopefully we can get into the top ten so I can produce even more tutorials!

$30 Mastering Service Special
As I now have access to a fantastic professional studio with a full acoustically treated room, as well as some high end equipment, I now offer my services to mix and master other peoples work.
Mastering is both the last stage of production. It is the last chance to alter the sonic presentation and is where the various parts of a song are brought together into a cohesive whole.
The mastering room provides a different (hopefully accurate) monitoring situation and a set of fresh ears to help the artist and producer achieve their vision for the final record.
My most commonly used tools I reach for when I am about to master a finished song is a compressor, eq, and a limiter. Depending on how the artist has done the mixdown, I will sometimes use a stereo enhancement tool or a harmonic exciter.
How to prepare your song for mastering:
- The most important stage of the preparation process is the mixdown. Before you send your completed song, you must feel 100% satisfied that you have your song mixed to the best of your abilities i.e. - good control over song dynamics, frequencies are in their own space and the volume levels are well balanced.
IMPORTANT: Mastering will not fix a bad mixdown.
- You must have NO plugins on the master channel. Do not compress or limit your final mix. You will be tempted to do this to make things louder, but it will make the mastering process much more difficult.
- The master output level must be peaking between -6db to -3db. It must not be going into the red i.e. - "clipping"

NOTE: To achieve this headroom, if at all possible please select all the channels are lower the faders until you reach the desired amount of headroom. But if your track has lots of volume automation this process will be more difficult. So as a last resort lower the master fader until you reach the desired amount of headroom.
- Export/Render/Bounce your song to a stereo WAV or Aiff file. Both these file types are lossless and retain the exact data and audio quality. Must be a 24 bit and 44.1kHz file.
- Remove any unwanted noise such as pops and clicks from any tracks. Applying a cross-fade to this problematic spots will most often solve the problem.
To here an example of some audio before and after I have mastered it, then please head to my soundcloud page. There is a direct link at the bottom of the page.
If you would like your song mastered, or if you have a few questions first, please feel free to contact me - contact@ryanenzed.com
Please note payment is through Paypal and in US dollars ($30USD)

Video Options
We offer a number of ways to watch videos on the site, I personally prefer to dim the lights on the screen when I am watching a video so that I can concentrate on what is being said. To do this, simply click on the light bulb below the bottom left of the video window to dim all but the video.Ryan Enzed Social Media
