Blais Mastering

Trap buildin in the new stoood.

I can remember years ago, surrendering precious recordings that I spent eternities on, to some of the worlds top Mastering Engineers only to end up with a pit in my gut, feeling the dread that id just never get the sound I was looking for. If they couldn’t get me there, who could? That led me down the path—the search for the sound at any cost. It took years to get there; endless trials and errors, shootouts with gear and slowly accumulating my arsenal of carefully chosen weapons. 

It’s beyond gratifying to remember this journey and getting to help and witness others find that satisfaction you’ve spent your life chasing the hard way. Being at a point where you can master one single for a group of artists and have them come back wanting you to fully produce their next project is a joy the sixteen-year-old me would’ve never seen coming. Cheers to gratitude and progression 🥂

Often times perfect pitch correction just sounds worse. For the absolute best sound in a track, every syllable must be carefully analyzed and considered—in unison with not only the harmonizing vocals, but the mix in its entirety. Real instrument performances are never 100% in tune, even if the instrument itself is; so all vocal phrases should be auditioned and manually adjusted in real-time on a micro-tonal scale until the section in process sings to your soul. ⁣
