Music Recording, Mixing and Production
From singer/songwriter demos, to full band productions, music is where the heart is. Mauka View is the perfect setting to deliver that tender vocal take, delicate acoustic guitar track, or crank up with your Marshall 800. With a tight iso booth as well as live recording room, most musical projects are an easy fit.
Once your tracks are recorded, Andrew can tonally craft your perfect mix using years of mixing experience, coupled with the world's best plugin assortment. From AutoTune Pro for that perfect pitch, a suite of Universal Audio classic emulations for that vintage tube saturation, to a diverse mix of software instruments and incredible effects from Waves, Spectrasonics, Soundtoys, Valhalla and more. Personal touch for automation is a snap with 8 physical faders on the PreSonus Faderport8 to ride the perfect volume curves.
Once the mix is perfect, it can be bussed down through the famous Tube-Tech LCA 2B stereo mastering compressor; one of the most sought-after compressors in the world.
Mastering
No project is ready for the mainstream before mastering. Andrew Vastola, engineer, has spent the last 15 years refining not only his engineering, editing and mixing skills, but has found himself with no choice than to put the final mastering polish on virtually every project that comes through the door. Mainstream music and the black curtain that is "mastering" can be deceptive, critical, and of utmost importance to make any final project stand tall and LOUD in today's musical environment. Email about mastering rates for both in-house projects as well as projects done at other studios, or even your home studio.
Mastering is available for all streaming platforms, including Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, even CD and Vinyl all require their own touch, so be sure you know your destination!
