How To Master A Texas Country Song with Jeff Canada

The way a song sounds matters. If you don’t maximize the sonic quality of a track you are really missing out.

There are two phases of a song that affect how the final song on Spotify sounds: 1. The Mix 2. The Master

Mixing is taking the individual parts of a song (drums, bass, guitars, etc) and making those sound great together.

Master is taking that finalized stereo mix and sweetening it up one final time. I often times explain it like when you are in your car and you adjust the ‘bass’ and ‘treble’ on your car stereo system. When you adjust those things, you are literally just thinking…”I think it sounds better with more low end…or high end…” That’s exactly what I’m doing.

In this video I am mastering a song by Texas Country singer songwriter Jeff Canada. In this breakdown we talk about:

  • finding the right fullness

  • tightening the song without loosing the punch

  • overall loudness

  • why a great master matters
