LAEK
IS A MUSIC PRODUCER, MIXING & MASTERING ENGINEER FROM TORONTO, CA.
Music is my passion. I’ve been fortunate enough to create, perform, produce and master music for over 10 years, which has allowed me to refine my skills as a mix & mastering engineer and artist. During this time, I’ve had the opportunity to master hundreds of songs. I've worked with labels such as Vicious Recordings (releases from Mark Knight, Mercer, Laidback Luke, Super Disco Club), and formally learned from some of today’s best Mastering Engineers including Blake La Grange (Skrillex, Kanye West, A$AP Rocky and Nine Inch Nails). This has helped prepare me to master music in any genre, with a specialization in electronic, house & related sub-genres, afro-beats, hip-hip and pop music.
My approach to mastering is technical and human. My goal is to preserve the feel and emotion of your music, while providing the professional balance and polish that makes your song ready for streaming on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok and YouTube. I use a combination of EQ, compression, limiting and other dynamics processing with today’s best in-the-box gear to accomplish this.
Favourite Software: UAD Pultec EQ Collection, UAD API-2500 Compressor & other UAD series plugins, FabFilter Pro-Q3, Pro-L2 & other FabFilter series plugins, Clariphonic DSP mkii, Oxford Inflator, Soundtoys series plugins & various Waves Audio plugins.
WHY MASTER YOUR MUSIC?
BEFORE
The Final Mix is an artist's or mixing engineer's best attempt at balancing individual elements within a song sonically and across the stereo field. It provides the necessary space and breathing room for each element to shine within your track.
AFTER
The Final Master is where your track is brought to life. It allows your final mix to achieve industry standard loudness, polish and balance making it ready for playback on everything from headphones to festival systems.
