Q: What difference between MIXING and MASTERING?

Mixing and mastering are parts of the recording process that confuse a lot of people. If you're recording an album that you plan to sell, a good mixing and mastering job is a must. If you're recording a demo, you might be able to get away without mastering. Here's the difference:

  1. Mixing - Mixing is basically tinkering with everything you have recorded to complete your songs. You'll do things like drop in effects, adjust fader, EQ your tracks and so on. Think of mixing as putting the puzzle together. You're putting together the parts of what you have recorded, making sure everything hangs together right, and putting some finishing touches on things. When you're done mixing your songs, you should pleased with the way the song sounds and feel confident that you don't need to add anything musically.

  2. Mastering - Mastering | Stem Mastering is adding sparkle and shine to your music. In a very basic sense, when you master your album, you're making sure that song one doesn't blow out the speakers while song two is barely audible - in other words, you want the levels of the songs to be similar and you want a general sense of cohesiveness to your recording.  Mastering is not “just a pushbutton” process. It is a totally  individual technical approach to each track requiring special tools, knowledge, experience and of course our ears. Final stage in the music production process enhancing the overall sound of your mix by bringing various elements into balance, sharper focus and increases the perceived loudness of the mix by utilizing special eq, compression and other pro-mastering tools. The end result is making a good mix into a great mix or some say “Industry Standard Record”.

Q: What is the Rock Band Network?

A: In March 2010, MTV Games and Harmonix, developers of Rock Band, launched a new initiative called Rock Band Network, which allows everyone with original music, technical savvy and free time on their hands to transcribe their music into playable form in the best-selling game Rock Band. Rock Band Network is designed to help you market yourself by putting your music in the hands of the millions of people playing Rock Band on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Nintendo Wii.

Q: How does it work?

A: Basically, the authoring process consists of the following steps:

  1. The conversion of the given track to RBN format that takes about 60 to 100 man hours to complete.

  2.   Mixing and mastering the given song to make it sound good in the game itself.

• Writing by hand the MIDI tracks for each instrument (guitar, bass, keys, etc...) and the four difficulty modes (easy, medium, hard, expert) for the instruments.

• Programming the various lighting cues, character animations, and camera cuts in order to give your song a more different visual perspective. The movement of the characters, lighting, and camera cuts will in sync with your song.

• Uploading the track to the CREATORS website for test and approval.

• Once the track is approved by the Creators community, it is published to Rock Band’s in-game RBN store, where players around the world can purchase and play it. All tracks are initially available on the Xbox, with select tracks that go on to the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii (at the discretion of Harmonix).

Q: How do I get paid for my tracks?

A: Once a song has been converted to a Rock Band track, it gets published to the in-game Rock Band Network store for $1, $2 or $3 a copy (your choice). Every 3 months, Microsoft/MTV sends the submitter a royalty check for 30% of all total sales. Basically, they give about 60 cents for an average $2 track.

Q: How do I know if my song is meeting Rock Band Network standards?

A:  We went to San Francisco, California, where the developers at Pyramind personally trained us on how to meet their quality standards.

Q: Is my music admissible to the Rock Band Network?

A: Your submission must adhere to the following rules and rights in order to be considered for RBN:

• Rights: If you don’t own the copyrights, publishing rights, or rights to the master tracks, as often happens when an artist is signed to a label/publisher, we would need explicit consent from the proper parties.

• Original Content: Your content must be 100% original. No samples or covers are allowed. If your submission is published and becomes the subject of a copyright infringement claim, you will be liable for all costs and damages.

Rating: Rock Band is a Teen-rated game. Explicit lyrics and mature subject matter are prohibited. This may include, but is not limited to, drug use, sex, and violence. If your track is not suitable for mainstream radio, it is not suitable for the Rock Band Network.

  1. Language: Currently, the Rock Band Network only supports the following languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian and Japanese. If your track features lyrics in any language other than the ones listed, it will not be eligible for RBN.

Q:What if I signed up with an authoring company to create my song?

A: You have two choices. They can create the song and test it, and then send you the final version for submission, in which case you will get paid directly, or.They can test and then submit the final version of the song, in which case they will get paid and you will have to get payments from them.
