"A good mix makes you feel like you are inside the song."
Manny Marroquin
Music production moves through several stages. At Budokan Studio we focus on the stages where sound is shaped, balanced, and given a professional identity.
Cleanup and correction of takes, including tuning and timing.
Balance, depth, effects, EQ, compression, and other processes that bring the sound together.
Final audio optimization that refines the sound and prepares it for release formats.
We refine, balance, and strengthen your sound with an external and objective ear that helps reveal nuance, reinforce emotion, and turn your music into a solid, clear, and deeply engaging listening experience.
Mixing is a detailed process where individual tracks are integrated by shaping levels, tone, and space to achieve a solid, balanced, and professional sound. The goal is to give each part of the song, including vocals, instruments, and effects, the clarity, depth, and cohesion it needs to serve the musical identity of the project.
At Budokan Studio, we combine experience, artistic judgment, and high-end tools to bring your music to its full potential. We work with precise monitoring and a tailored approach, taking care of every detail to deliver mixes that feel clear, impactful, and ready to stand out on any platform.
Mastering is the final stage of music production, where the mix is optimized and prepared for release. It focuses on tonal balance, dynamics, loudness, and overall coherence so the song translates clearly and competitively across everything from headphones to professional playback systems.
At Budokan Studio, our mastering process helps your music meet professional standards with a polished, consistent sound ready for digital platforms or physical formats.
If you mix your own songs but still feel the result is not fully professional, this service gives you a detailed review and direct guidance from an engineer so you can improve faster. It includes technical analysis, a live video call, and a PDF report with practical recommendations.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Feedback from artists I've worked with through SoundBetter.
"Once again, Ben’s work was outstanding! For my previous job with Ben, he edited and mixed my vocal track, which turned out great. This time, I asked him to do some editing on my bass track and Ben handled it like the pro he is. I highly recommend him for digital editing work. I will surely hire Ben to mix a few songs for me down the road because he is great mix engineer too."
"Ben Gual is an experienced mix engineer who did a terrific job editing my vocal tracks. In my opinion, Ben has the technical skills, musical sensibilities, and pro gear to give any artist or band the sound that they seek. For my editing job, Ben was able to match, perfectly, the reverb that had already been printed to one of the tracks and I am so impressed with his work. He and I communicated great, and he delivered his work on time. He is a consummate professional. I highly recommend him!"
