MoonMix Studios Recording & Mastering is the creation of Mark Forman, whose experience in audio recording dates to 1977. Mark also has an adjacent background as a seasoned studio musician and performer, which also aids the client. Our mission is to assist the independent artist in achieving stardom...(or at least make a heck of a good living)...utilizing the following two-fold premise:

Recording Philosophy: Close mic'ing of instruments & vocals...in a large room w/ great acoustics...using the highest quality microphones, preamps & digital converters. The first part of this philosophy could be known as the 'Abbey Road' (or...'Anti-Vocal Booth') theory. The world's best recordings have always been tracked in a big space with the microphones in close proximity to the source. This gives the recorded signal Depth of Detail, a more natural sound characterized by an 'up front' presence while also capturing the ambience of the space. This technique also has the effect of placing the listener in the room w/ the music; & in reality sounds louder than controlled techniques in a smaller acoustic space. [Sadly, it is missing in many of today's recordings.] The second part of our philosophy is self-explanatory...use the best equipment available for this task. With the use of industry-classic microphones; award-winning preamps; and mastering grade digital/audio converters...& by maximizing the number of discreet output channels going directly to hard disc...we can give the artist a more detailed & transparent sound than recording through a typical mixing console w/ limited outputs.

Mastering Philosophy: Finalize the tracks with sonic clarity, detail, punch and level optimization...using the finest EQ, compression & signal processing production software designed...& the artist's direction for the sound they wish to achieve. If the artist has a specific sound in mind for their music, or needs our input as to how their mix should sound, we will tailor the mastering phase to that model.
