Genre workflow
Rock mixing and mastering
Preserve the relationship between drums, guitars and vocals through dense sections.
Prepare the material
Sunset is mixing and mastering software. Use aligned stems for a stem-mixing workflow or a stereo premaster for mastering. Keep an untouched copy of the source files and write down the reference and delivery format before processing.
Balance for this arrangement
Begin with the rhythm section and bring guitars into a stable balance. Check the vocal through the loudest section, where layered guitars and cymbals can mask important words. Avoid judging only the opening verse.
Compare and deliver
Choose a reference with similar instrumentation. Compare drum impact, guitar density and vocal position at matched loudness. Inspect endings and transitions as well as the loudest chorus.
The browser audition provides up to 30 seconds of mastered playback with local processing. Full export and the native workflow are in the Mac app. Review the complete exported file, its start and end, and the requested format before delivery.
