Ghetto Pony is nearly done mixing their second full-length album. It’s 16 songs and a handful of interludes. An hour’s worth of tidal synth waves, lightning bass bolts, six-string cyclones, and break-beat landslides. This sound storm has been brewing for a quite some time now. Recording and mixing has proven to be a drawn-out process for Ghetto Pony. Choosing, or defaulting to D.I.Y. methods, it’s been years of trial and error. The truth is Ghetto Pony has always had trouble asking for favours. At first it was foolish horse pride that kept them from getting others involved. But as this beast matures, it’s apparent we need support to make it to the finish line.
Mastering is the final step in the recording process. After all the songs have been mixed, they are sent to a mastering studio which is specifically designed to produce accurate frequency response. The equipment inside is usually not found in a regular mixing studio, including the ears of a seasoned engineer who can easily pinpoint the frequencies that need adjusting. They can also optimize the level of each song and ensure consistency from track to track. The end result is an album that sounds sonically sweet on nearly any playback system.
