We love the options of testing different mastering genres, profiles, and styles-without the back-and-forth with the engineer, watching the bills grow like weeds-choking out the flowers of original inspiration. All his “ years and ears” of experience and audio art, squeezed into an easy-to-use app! So what do you do when you have your tracks recorded and mixed? We at Easy Ear Training and Musical U were so excited to learn about Gary’s apps. Your apps sound like the missing link that so many home recording studios have been waiting for. We previously covered the launch of their exciting app MicSwap and we recently caught up with him to learn about their latest app, AudioMaster. Gary Levitt and the Future Moments team are changing all that.Īfter years of high-end recording studio work both as an engineer and a musician, he has become the driving force behind a small bouquet of apps that give your home recordings that studio polish. On top of that, once you turn your tracks over you may have little say in what the final product will sound like. Shopping around for a mastering engineer that really fits your project can be frustrating and time-consuming. Pros each have their own style and forte, which may or may not be in harmony with your own. The three complex mastering tools of the audio engineer- compression, limiting, and EQ (equalization)-require finely tuned ears, as well as deep understandings of how they might interface with all the varieties audio playback technology. Mastering is an art that requires years of training and study to, well, master. Audio mastering puts the finishing touch on a recording, ensuring that it will sound as good in your headphones as it does in your car or booming out of a PA system on stage. So why does that awesome track you recorded at your last band rehearsal sound so meh on your brother’s laptop? What an age we live in! Audio recording and mixing capabilities that only a decade or two ago were limited to multi-million dollar studios are now available as mobile apps.
