Question 9

What is the difference between mixing and mastering?

Accepted Answer

Well, mixing is the first stage of our engineering process, where we basically individually tweak the amplitude (volume) and frequency spectrums, of each individual track (drums, bass, samples, vocals, etc.) within the session to achieve tonal and level balance. After which, we proceed to add effects, ambience and an overall punch to the mix. We look at “mixing” as the process where we take all the sounds you provide us with and organize it into a beautifully sculpted sonic landscape.
Mastering, on the other hand, is the process of maximization. This is the process that makes sure your track is loud enough to be streamed conveniently. It is the final touch to a mix, that allows us to emphasis and de-emphasis on frequencies that can make or break your track and lets us give final touches to your ready-to-go track.

Question 17

Question 21

How do our clients know that their track will sound better?

We have our clients fill out a pre-mix form, which gives them a chance to state exactly what they’re looking for in their mix and allows them to provide us with reference tracks.

Does NukeSound offer Rush services?

Accepted Answer

This is a question we get a lot, usually with a skeptical tone due to the fact that a “rush” order comes with time constraints, which generally doesn’t give an individual engineer time to re-listen to their mix with fresh ears.

The answer to this question is, yes, NukeSound does provide rush mixing and mastering services for added cost. And the only reason we think that we’re able to deliver the same quality, even with a rush order, is because of our multi-engineer workflow.

Revisions are basically edits or changes requested by the client once their final tracks have been sent to them. We try our best to give our clients exactly what they’re looking for, so we do go the extra mile to provide these revisions, independent of what is mentioned on the pre-mix form. Whilst other service providers only make minor tweaks to what had already been mentioned, we have the bandwidth of making new additions to the mix. But this is capped off at 2 revisions.

Whilst other service providers only make minor tweaks to what had already been mentioned, we have the bandwidth of making new additions to the mix. But this is capped off at 2 revisions.

Question 33

Question 34

What is the importance of mixing and mastering an audiobook?

Accepted Answer

At NukeSound, we look at audiobooks as a form of sonic art. It is something that consumers spend hours and hours listening to, thus, for the end user to be able to go through it comfortably, it is important to sculpt the sonic landscape of an audiobook with sheer smoothness. An unmixed & unmastered audiobook has the potential to ruin any great story, due to its sonically unbearable nature. Mixing and Mastering audiobooks is a lot about sustainability, we strive towards crafting a sonic landscape that is comfortable to listen to for long periods of time.

Question 35

Why should a podcast creator procure NukeSound’s Sound Design for Podcast service?

Accepted Answer

Well, at NukeSound, we realized that, in today’s world, there is an immense number of podcasts being created. Something that we noticed was that, not all of these podcasts necessarily use sound design services for their podcasts, which leads to un-even volumes, hisses, bumps, background noise and other unwanted frequency disruptions. All of this combined sub-consciously drives the viewer’s attention away from the actual content of the podcast.

Question 36

How tedious is this process and why don’t other sound service organizations provide this service?

Accepted Answer

The procedure to treat sound for podcasts isn’t very tedious. NukeSound has internal workflows that allow us to sonically design a podcast, that is optimized for web streaming, with great efficiency, that gives us the bandwidth to provide the same quality of work within a reasonable amount of time. The pre-optimized workflow also allows us to provide competitive rates for such projects.

We don’t have an answer as to why other organizations don’t offer this service, but we suspect it’s due to the fact that there isn’t much demand for the service, as it is indeed something that’s severely not paid attention to.

Question 37

Can NukeSound compose intro tunes and jingles?

Accepted Answer

Yes, NukeSound has the capability of composing any kinds of tracks that the client may require.

Question 38
