John Rogers, JR mastering
DJ Nita submitted dozens of funky club house songs from various artists he was working with. The songs have a nice beat to them; and a thick sound with good power.
With this particular project, since the mixes were very good, all I needed to do was “enhance” what was already there, not drastically change anything. Just make everything a little thicker, a little clearer, added balance and leveled it so it can be blasted loud in clubs all over the world. The final result was dozens of great sounding masters!
Thanks for letting JR mastering work with you and your associates! I wish you all the very best! {article 222}[layout]{/article}
