From Raw Tracks to Release-Ready Sound
Mix and Mastering Study case: Nico Viglione
Before Mix and Master
After Mix and Master
🎧 Use headphones. Switch between the two versions and notice clarity, punch and stereo depth.
This mix was built from raw, unprocessed multitracks.
The goal was to achieve a modern but warm indie-pop sound, with clear vocals, controlled low-end and a wider, deeper stereo image, while preserving the original vibe of the song.
Objective:
Behind the process
Drum control
The original drum were ringing and killing the groove.
After treatment, the drums feel tighter and more musical.
Curious about what changed under the hood?
Stereo depth
The mix felt flat and narrow.
Now it feels wide and three-dimensional.
Vocal and guitars
The vocals were clear but dry, while the guitars were affected by ground noise and uncontrolled dynamics.
Now the vocals feel full and immersive, and the guitars are tight, controlled and stable in the mix.
