More of an old school metal sound for this one compared to the other submissions. Only work done "mastering" is some stereo spread, added some hi-shelf EQ and brought the volume up retaining the mix dynamics. 

Old School Metal - Mastered

Mastered version of the last song. I am very happy with this. I think it is the first mix I can say that I didn't make the song sound good, but I made the song sound better.

Come Around - Mastered

First attempt at mixing hiphop. That is one genre I know nothing about. Was actually kinda fun.

Sing With Me - Mastered

First original song I've done in a while. Written, arranged, performed, recorded, mixed and mastered by Chris Watson.

Your Everything - ORIGINAL

Hey Newb, don’t be so sad
Take a bad loss and make it better
Remember to learn from what you did wrong
And before too long, you will get better. 

Hey Newb you just began 
Find a skill plan and let it guide you 
Don’t worry that you can only tackle 
For you will soon fly fancy ships too

And anytime you feel to blame, 
hey Newb refrain 
Your fleet mates are here to help support you 
Remember that you’re not alone 
we all have grown 
For everyone here has been a Newb too

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah 


Hey Newb do something grand
When you land point call out in mumble
Remember to keep your spaceship aligned
And you will find you will not stumble.

And fleet command is not a sin, 
hey Newb begin
Stop waiting for someone to go roam with
And don't you know
 that it's just you hey Newb you'll do
The fleet you need is on your shoulders
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah 

Hey Newb don’t be so sad
Take a bad loss and make it better
Remember to learn from what you did wrong
And before too long you will get better better better better better better WOW!!!!!!
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA HEY NEWB


Hey Newb

You’ve done it!

You have written and recorded your Magnum Opus, your Kashmir, your Master of Puppets, your Harvest Moon. You have written a great song, recorded fantastic takes, and poured your heart and soul into it. But something isn’t quite right. It sounds good. 

But…

It could sound better!

That is what I’m here for. I’m a fresh set of ears. A new perspective. Some emotional distance. I’ll hear something in your tracks that you don’t. I’m not the world’s greatest mixer, but I’m good. Real good. And I can take your track to the next level. Plus I have a 
magical beard.

So check out my site, listen to some examples of what I can do for you, and get in touch. Maybe we can work together to make something amazing.

When you are ready to start a project or just ask a question, please get in touch.
