The Final Touch Print
After days, maybe weeks of hard work, finally the last mile is in sight. During the elaborate musical journey, you may have realized that producing a master mix requires perfect coordination of the body and mind, along with world-class tools. The aural image of sublime ecstasy is lying dormant in your subconscious mind waiting to find its expression.
 
The musical instruments are your staircase to reach the ultimate creation. You have done well to climb one step at a time just by following the map that is ingrained in your mind and finally reached the top. Your treasure lies a few steps away, willing to be owned. In a moment of self realization, it becomes evident that your creation is not yours alone anymore. The world is waiting with baited breath to feel the feel of your song, to smell the fragrance of the notes, and to taste the sweetness of its secret potion. Have you lived up to your own expectations? This is your last chance to perk up the mix and create a superlative master before it is transferred to the DAT, Tape, Wave, or CD.

It's time to fight the devils within. By this time, you are so overexposed to the music that it's nearly impossible to make out any differences in spite of hearing it again and again. It is as though your brain refuses to let you hear what is being played. You need a break. Your ears have perhaps burnt out. Before you pack up for the day, just give it one more shot and check that the music conforms to the script. Unwind yourself and give your ears sufficient rest. When you come back the next day to hear the song, your mind and ears should act in unison along a new plane on your vast musical landscape. This is very important because it lets you find the rhythm back and help you discover that what is in your mind is what is played.

After long deliberations and interplays, you have created a beauty, the "holy grail" of audio. You have learned that while well-groomed ears lets you pin down the music, a powerful Mixer and mastering processor lets you chisel the edges and polish the faces to bring out a stunning piece of diamond. It is our intention to help you get started on mixing, mastering and post-production, and the final touch. It is our wish that you'll find the Midas touch soon.
