dB0 Productions

We are a Production, Mixing, and Mastering company based in Berlin, and available online around the world.

We record performances, either live or in the studio, and mix and master recordings.

What is Production?

A producer is someone who manages the recording process from end to end: gathering requirements, hiring specialists if needed (such as musicians or engineers), choosing equipment, coordinating with artist agents, and booking studio time. The producer supervises recording, mixing, and mastering.

A producer may fulfill one, some, or all of these functions, depending on the scope of the project. A producer-engineer can perform some of these roles themselves, instead of hiring specialists.

The producer's main function is to relieve the artist of technical and administrative burdens, and deliver a finished product that fits the artist's vision.

What is Mixing?

Mixing adjusts the relative loudness and tone of a track's instruments. All instruments in a mix should be distinctive and audible. Lead instruments are edged forward. The timbre of each instrument is adjusted to give it space alongside the other instruments.

What is Mastering?

Mastering prepares the final stereo mix for distribution. This involves adjusting the overall tonal balance so that the track is neither too strident nor dull. The dynamic range is adjusted in comparison to other tracks of the same genre: loud and punchy for pop/dance, airy and subtle for ambient/classical. 

In some cases, mastering can include stem mixing. Stems are stereo sub-mixes of a track's major groups, such as one stem each for vocals, instruments, bass, and drums. This allows the mastering engineer to process each stem in an ideal way without affecting the other stems.
