How to mix and master a live recording (concert, church or event)
Live recordings capture the energy of the room but rarely sound balanced straight from the desk: the vocal gets lost, the band is uneven, the crowd and the room leak into every microphone. A mix from the multitrack fixes that before mastering.
Prepare the multitrack
- Export each channel (or each group, such as all drums) as its own WAV from the start of the song.
- Cut one song at a time: each stem up to 8 minutes.
- Keep the audience or room microphones as their own stem.
Mix, then master
Upload the stems to AI Mix + Master, choose a style (acoustic or gospel suits most worship and choir recordings) and listen to the free preview. For a full concert or a project with many songs, our engineer can mix it by hand: book Mixing & Mastering.
