Need Help With Mixing Or Mastering?
The Smallfishrecordings project is here to help you bridge the gap between your musical ideas and a genuinely commercial production.
If you've been striving to make your material sound “like a record” but not quite getting there, then I have the tools, the experience and above all, the ears to make it happen.
Mixing
Using EQ, Compression, reverb and panning, each component can be properly positioned to work musically. Noise, sibilance or tonal issues can all be improved upon.
Mastering
Being careful to pick up the cues from the performance, the aim is to build upon the material where it is artistically valuable and adds to the vision. It is easy to diverge or even detract if this isn't done sympathetically. Every track needs it's own treatment.
The end result of both processes is to present the client's material in the best possiblle light, both technically and artistically.
It's also a very valuable creative step, to allow your material the freedom to be influenced by an independent artist, and possibly the most important difference between the amateur and the professional.
You can always try all of these things yourself of course but if you are serious about communicating the best possible musical message to your audience, these key services are now within the reach of even the smallest musical fish - so why not try it?

Stuff Folk Have Said
"Brent is upstairs "mastering" the tracks. What I mean by that is he is getting the Battle Tapes mixes up in overall level so they match up in volume to yours. A few minutes ago he yelled downstairs (to me): "Your guy in the UK knows what the **** he is doing!"
Shane Ball (The Goldroom) quoting Brent Rawlings, KOL Engineer..
"An immediately rewarding aspect is the production. Imperative to records
of this ilk, it is warm, honest and homespun – mixed by the boorishly
artistic Smallfishrecordings."

"Mate thank you. Good job indeed I love it...you have put mastering to a new place for me."
