His unique style is defined by the highest quality production with huge basslines and forward moving energy. With his Zeamoon project, Simon is concentrating on progressive psychedelic trance tunes with a perfect balance of twisted psychedelic sawtooth rippin’ sounds and groove & dancefloor oriented rhythms. Already well known for his psychedelic chillout project ‘Seamoon’ and for his prog-psytrance-duo ‘Sonic Tickle’ with his friend Janosch Wolf, Simon has substantial experience in shaping frequencies for your personal pleasure and dancefloor adventure! His first EP “Sawtooth Surgery” went to number one on JunoDownloads – Psytrance Charts. Took me maybe 4-6 months to get my list to a mature level, but i'm very happy with the results so far, at least as a beginner.Zeamoon is the solo project of Simon Neumann, a talented and trained audio engineer, musician and producer from Germany. I know Mastering should be done by a second person, but I don't have the option, so at best i can get post-mixing / pre-mastering opinions from friends who are into music and mixing as well. Lastly, I integrated a rough mastering process to my list. If you dedicate some time to it (say, a video a day), soon enough YouTube will be spoon-feeding you this stuff for you to continue growing your Checklist. They also have what they call the Academy, where you pay, but i do not have experience with that. I do believe they have a beginner series. The approach here was unfortunately a bit trial and error, searching for concepts like bass, drums, EQ, etc. Great stuff in there, explained in amazingly simple ways. These specific steps I mostly took from the "Produce like a Pro" channel: With this understanding, I began to go into the specifics of each step, including instrument-specific tips (depending on what you use more often), taking notes, turning them into steps which made sense to me, and growing the list. It gave me the very rough idea of what the mixing process is overall, and what the goal of each step is. Kinda make sure you actively decide against using a certain resource, rather than just forgetting it was there. Mind you, this will not work the exact same with every song, but at least it will give you a list of musts (low cutting or panning, for instance, are almost absolute musts in some form), as well as things you might wanna consider doing (certain effects which are often used, and you don't wanna forget). My approach was to make a sort of checklist or workflow for myself. I've dedicated a lot of this year to tackle mixing in full, and i think i've come up with a pretty decent process.
