The process of pre-production is an extremely important step on the path to achieving the best possible outcome for your music. The pre-production process involves listening to your demo, regardless of the state it is currently in, and working out what's great, what needs improvement, perhaps the arrangement or instrumentation needs tweaking, maybe the song structure needs to change to keep it interesting all the way through. As the old saying goes, sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees. So having a person work with you, who is outside of your creative circle, can reap massive rewards. This is the role of the producer, and where Red Dirt Audio can help elevate your music so that it grabs people's attention.

Ending up with a professional sounding mix starts with great quality recordings. Everything in the signal chain affects the audio, which it turn, affects final outcome. We have a truckload of world-class gear to help capture your music in the highest fidelity possible.

A great mix is all about movement and groove. Your song needs to capture the listener's attention and hold it right until the very last note. Achieving a great mix is definitely an art form. From a technical perspective, we use the industry standard ProTools for all of our mixing. We also have a large range of plugins and outboard gear to tease the very best out of your recordings.

Mastering, just like mixing, is also an art form. Mastering involves bringing that professional sheen to your mixes. In the case of a whole album's worth of work, all of the songs should be at the same level and sound polished enough to stand up to any other recording on the market. At Red Dirt Audio, we can master your mixes for a variety of medium, wether your are planning for a digital-only release, or physical products like CD and vinyl. All have different mastering requirements.

If you need help with composition and songwriting, perhaps you need inspiration or a different perspective, contact one of our producers and see how we can help you.
