The Five Phases of Mixing

by Jermaine "Sound.wav" Evans

Overview

Hi let me introduce myself. I'm Jermaine Sound.wav Evans I have over 25 years' experience in the sound and visual world known as the AV world I have three degrees and a gang of certificates. I've been recording mixing Mastering and running live sound since the late 1900s. I had the opportunity to sit with some incredible engineers worked with some incredible producers. I been in the studio since analog tape machines. I've also been an instructor and I taught recording arts for about five years now. I discovered most textbooks and instructors have a very technical way of teaching, showing and demonstrating engineering techniques and sound properties so I decided to write this book to explain different techniques of mixing mastering and understanding the studios and DAW's and a simple every day wording. When I was a professor, that was one thing, all my students loved about me is that I could take the most difficult technical subject, and break it down to the most simplest terms, so that a child would understand that, so my hopes wishes and visions for this book, which I like to call a textbook a hand manual For an engineer it would be very simple easy reading something you could knock out 30-45 minutes something you can keep in your back pocket and refer back to anytime you get a musical crunch so hopefully you enjoy the book the textbook and let's get started.

About the Author

A sound movement developed by its ever creative CEO, Producer and Engineer, Jermaine “sound.wav” Evans. He has run sound for some of the biggest names in the Gospel industry such as: Bishop Paul S. Morton, Bishop Love, and William Murphy, just to name a few. Additionally, his production and engineering has been a part of Hip Hop greats such as: Rampage The Last Boy Scout of the FlipMode Squad, M. Watts of the Re-up Gang, and Mr. Cheeks of the Lost Boys.

In 2018, he established “Water Walkas” with the idea that his artists are not afraid to have faith, and believe in themselves as Peter had in God to walk on water. With a sound like no other music producer, his soulful, rich vibes can easily flow with a Gospel or secular artist’s lyrics. He is quoted as believing, “...we all love God.” Inspired by musical greats, the RZA of Wu-Tang, Premier, and Quincy Jones, he blends his love of Hip Hop, Gospel, Rock, and Soul music.

With over 25 years of audio engineering experience, Evans was always involved in media; whether on a movie set or designing in-home recording studios. Evans comes from a musical family, as his grandfather sang with Sam Cooke and was a part of the Gospel group, Silvertone. He tried his best to fit in with his big brother and friends, back when all you had was a cassette tape and a sampler.

He has had the opportunity to produce independent commercial productions for Clear Channel radio station, 103 Jamz in Virginia, but his greatest accomplishment was producing and releasing three albums in 2018. With over 1 million combined streams, “Amen” included multiple artists, “We Stepping in Increase” was in collaboration with Gospel artist, Brother J, and “Holy Bars”, an instrumental album showcasing his beat production skills. 2019 has brought the awaited release of “Water Walkas vs Swimmers”.

Evans received certificates from “The Recording Shop”. He went on to acquire his Bachelors of Science in Audio Engineering and Masters of Science in Education from the elite Full Sail University. He’s very passionate about sharing his knowledge of audio engineering with children and adults alike, developing future and current engineers.
