    uniE613 MIX AND MASTER PROJECT: "BIG SMALL WORLD" SONG
    I was approached to mix and master the track "BIG SMALL WORLD" by producer STONA. Mixing the Track: Cleaning the Audio: I began by ensuring that all the stems were clean and free of any unwanted noise or artifacts. This step involved cutting out inaudible frequencies and applying gentle gating where needed. Balancing Levels: I carefully adjusted the fader levels to establish the track’s dynamic balance. Ensuring the low-end elements like bass and kicks complemented the mid and high-frequency layers was key to achieving a full-bodied sound. Equalization (EQ): Using tools like FabFilter Pro-Q3, I sculpted each element to prevent frequency clashes. For example, I ensured the bassline had a tight low end while leaving room for the percussive elements to shine in the midrange. Panning and Depth: I created a wide stereo field to give the track a sense of space and immersion. Instruments like pads and effects were panned subtly to create an expansive soundscape, while key rhythmic elements remained centred for impact. Dynamic Control: Compression was applied thoughtfully to enhance transients and maintain dynamic consistency. I used SSL Bus Compressor on the drum bus to glue the percussive elements together and sidechain compression to allow the kick drum to cut through the mix. Effects and Ambience: I incorporated reverb and delay selectively to give the track a sense of atmosphere. For instance, long-tail reverb on the pads created a celestial quality, while a subtle slap-back delay on the lead synth added rhythmic interest without cluttering the mix. Mastering the Track Final EQ and Tonal Balance: I used iZotope Ozone to ensure the tonal balance was suitable for streaming. I added slight boosts to the high end to emphasize clarity and sparkle while keeping the low end tight and controlled. Dynamic Range Optimization: To preserve the track’s energy, I maintained an optimal dynamic range, avoiding over-compression. Multiband compression was applied to keep the low, mid, and high-frequency ranges balanced. Stereo Imaging: The stereo image was further enhanced, giving the track an enveloping presence. I widened some frequency bands while keeping the critical low-end elements mono for a solid foundation. Loudness Maximization: Using a limiter, I carefully raised the overall loudness to meet modern standards without sacrificing the dynamics and emotional nuance of the track. The final version of Big Small World had a competitive loudness level ready for YouTube. Here is the final mix and master below: https://youtu.be/Cft16hI72QI?si=sKfJQ4Ubkcve5aQO
