From Raw Tracks to Release-Ready Sound

Mix and Mastering study case: Nico Viglione

This mix was built from raw, unprocessed multitracks.
The goal was to achieve a classic old-school hip-pop sound, with a perfect point wet scene to add the right thridimensionality.

Objective:

Before Mix and Master

After Mix and Master

🎧 Use headphones. Switch between the two versions and notice clarity, punch and stereo depth.

Punchy drums

  • The original drums felt dry and lacked impact.

  • After processing, they sound punchy, energetic and forward in the mix.

Curious about what changed under the hood?

Behind the process

Vocal

  • The vocal tracks were poorly timed, creating an unintended doubled effect instead of a tight performance.

  • The tracks are now fully time-aligned, tight and cohesive, moving together naturally in the mix.
