Project: Step Outside
Band : Freaky bizness
Style : Funk live feel.
Role: Mixing & Mastering Engineer, Session Musician
Overview: Live funk production featuring full rhythm and brass sections recorded without a click track. The band wanted to preserve the authentic live feel, so no timing edits were made on drums or rhythm instruments. Focused on vocal and brass balance, tone shaping, and overall clarity. Tuned and mixed vocals, enhanced drum punch and definition, and added in-studio percussion and guitar layers to enrich groove and dynamics.
Tools Used: Logic Pro, UAD Apollo Twin X, FabFilter Pro-Q3, Pro-MB, Pro-L2, Pro-DS, Waves SSL Comp, RComp, L2, PuigTec EQP1A, CLA-76, Valhalla VintageVerb, Soundtoys Decapitator, and UAD 1176.
Focus: Delivered a natural, energetic funk mix that maintained the live performance’s feel while achieving a polished, radio-ready balance across 15+ drum and rhythm tracks. #music #mixing #mastering #recordingextraparts
