THIS IS SPECIFICALLY ONLINE ORDERS ONLY. IN PERSON SIT-IN MIXING SESSIONS ARE BOOKED AT AN HOURLY RATE.

Mixing is the process of blending individual audio tracks using techniques such as equalization, compression, saturation and other tools to bring your music to life more and create a pleasing listening experience for your fans.

We also use creative tools like reverbs and delays to create and make space for instruments and vocals & to overall give the song a unique vibe where the listener can really experience your song and feel the emotions you record.

After mixing comes our mastering process.

Mastering is the process of taking the final mix and maximizing the volume and dynamics to match industry released songs so your song is ready for you to release it to the world!

Once this is done your files will be emailed to you and you are ready for release! Our job is to make your release less of a hassle and to give you a song you will be happy with forever. Book your next mix & master with us!

Here are some frequenly asked questions we thought that may help answer some of your questions!

Q: What is included with my mix & master?

A: When your mix & master is finalized we will send you a copy of the final mix, master, radio edited mix, radio edited master, acapella & instrumental mix.

If you require additional exports additional costs will apply.

Q: Do you tune vocals?

A: Yes, vocal tuning is included in your mix & master. We will apply manual vocal tuning editing with the industry leading plugin for tuning vocals manually (Melodyne) and then we will run your vocals through auto-tune to give it the full industry sound. If you prefer no autotune that's okay too!

Q: Does this include beat drops and fun edits?

A: Yes, our mixes are not only going to impress your listeners sonically but they are also going to keep your listeners entertained with fun ear candy that adds to the production of the song.

Q: Will I have a say in what I like or don't like?

A: Of course! We fully encourage artists to send a list of ideas or guidelines for your mix & master to help us make sure we are staying on the right creative path to help complete your vision! We also include 2 revision sessions (up to 1 hour each) with every mix & master.

Q: How many hours will you spend on my mix & master?

A: Because each song is different and requires a different approach every mix, we do not charge based on the hours we spend mixing the song. Our rate is set to be enough for our engineers to have the time to provide the services you need to guarantee a great result. We focus on quality over quantity.

Q: If I don't like the mix can I get a refund?

A: No, our services are non refundable unless canceled before the work is started. We ensure that through our mixing process you will have plenty of time to point out any areas you do not like or want changes in the mix before we agree that it is complete. You will always have a say before the song is considered a final mix.
Turn around time:

Your mix order turn around time will be discussed with you before your engineer starts the mix at all. If you are requiring a faster turn around than usual there will be an upcharge for the rush delivery and rush service. Average mixing & mastering takes no more than 3-5 days but in some occasions and situations it may take up to 7 days to finalize the mix.

Exporting:

When your mix and master is finished and both the artist and the engineer have agreed that the mix is finished you will receive a final mix, final master, acapella mix, instrumental mix, performance mix and your radio edit mix. If you require other versions there will be an upcharge for each different export and arrangement that needs to be adjusted for specific needs.

File formats:

Your audio files will be sent in the format of WAV and MP3. The only files with MP3 will be the final mix & master, show mix and radio mix. The other audio files will be WAV files.

File delivery:

We do not send files via email. We use a more collaborative website that allows you to make notes in real time while listening to your mix, compare mixes and other versions in real time, add teams to listen to the mix and give their own feedback & more to help the creative and technical ideas flowing easily between the engineer and artist while mixing. You will receive an invite to a project when your mix is done and all you have to do is use any password you would like for your account to access your mixes. Your files will stay on our main hard drive for 90 days and then will be archived to help save space. We do not ever delete sessions so if you ever need a copy or need to re-access the session we can still do so but would need to know ahead of time.
When sending files for mixing please follow these instructions below.

Step 1:

Make a main folder & name it as follows (Artist Name-Song-Mix)

In that folder you will have 6 folders

Reference Songs

Wet Vocals

Dry Vocals

Wet Beat

Dry Beat

Rough Mix

(If your mix does not have the instrumental track outs then just make 1 folder named “Beat” & include the exported instrumental from your session and the downloaded instrumental file)

Step 2:

File naming:

Please name your audio tracks according to what they are and label them numerically.

Instruments or Instrumental first then vocals in order.

For example:

01 Beat

02 Hook Lead

03 Hook double

04 Verse Lead

05 Verse Dub

06 Adlib

Disable all processing on your vocals so there is no EQ, Compression, Reverb or effects active when exporting the stems.

Step 3:

Exporting:

Export your files in wav format at 44.1 or 48khz sample rate & 24bit or 32bit float

Make sure all audio is no louder than -6db to create proper head room for the mix.

Export vocals raw with no processing or effects and place in separate folders labeled “Dry Vocals” (if there are certain effects you created on your vocals that you do not want to lose you can export those dry and wet.

If you are using a mp3 or wav file of the instrumental just export that as a stereo file & place it in the folder with the vocals.

If you are using a tracked out beat please follow the instructions below:

Export all instrumental stems wet & dry and place in separate folders labeled “Wet Beat & Dry Beat”

Include your rough mix in the main folder. Label the mix as written:
