Gxhan - Tifa Mastering

In this project, I was responsible for the stereo mastering for the official release.
In May 2026, I spent one week in Greece, where we worked together on the song “Tifa.” After returning to Munich, the track was finalized at MSM Studios during the mastering stage.
I genuinely enjoy working on music where I do not fully understand the lyrics, because it allows me to focus entirely on the emotional impact, sonic balance, and overall atmosphere of the record rather than the literal meaning of the words.
The main goal during mastering was to make the song feel larger, more immersive, and emotionally impactful. Another issue was that the vocal tended to sit slightly too far back in the mix. During the mastering process, we were able to improve the vocal presence and enhance the overall translation and depth of the track without sacrificing its musicality.
The artists were extremely satisfied with the final result.
