About mixing and mastering, our supreme mixing and mastering service is now available to producers and home studio owners, all over the world.
If you are serious about your sound, our combined mixing and mastering services will elevate the quality of your mix production, leading to superior mastering results.
Why mixing and mastering? Mastering can only achieve so much and cannot create miracles to a poorly mixed recording. There are countless factors and relationships within a mix that can be easily overlooked. All these neglected mistakes will ultimately result in disappointing mastering results.
There are no shortcuts to achieving great mastering. The mastering results will always rely on the quality of your mix. A good mixing job is the ultimate key that will lead your music recordings to exceptionally superior mastering results. When you hire a pro mix engineer, you are mostly paying for his ears and experience to knock you a great mix. An experienced mixing engineer has the magic ability to make your mix sound broader. Imagine what a good mastering job can do to a great mix.
Your tracks deserve to sound as good, if not better than, major artists. By using my mix service, I will craft your track into a polished mix with the clarity and depth it deserves. This is your chance to have your project mixed by a seasoned and experienced mix engineer at a cost that will not break the bank! I truly understand the importance of a mix and its crucial role in the success of a record, hence, I go out of my way to ensure you get the best possible result.
The concept is simple. Contact me, then send me your session files, and I will mix your tracks with the same care and attention. I show in all my high profile mix projects. Once you are satisfied with the final result, you will receive all the data either on a DVD or via FTP. This will include the final mix, TV mix, acapella mix, lead vocal, and backing vocals.
Mixing service includes tune vocals, quantize audio, drums or midi, drum replacer, and no limit of tracks.
How do I prepare my tracks for mixing?
We need your audio files exported or bounced from your sequencer in .aiff or .wav at the bit rate you recorded the material, usually 24bit, and the sample rate we prefer is 96khz, but 44.1khz is already good. All tracks should be exported from the same point in order for the tracks to line up correctly at our studio.
Where possible, please label each file correctly (e.g. main vocal, kick drum, etc.). This makes it a lot easier when discussing possible edits and for general tidiness of the project.
Effects such as compression, reverb, etc. should be removed from the tracks and sent dry. However, if you feel the effects are essential to the intended sound, then by all means, leave them on and send a dry alternative where possible.
Please be aware of digital clipping where the track has been exported with the gain above the saturation threshold. This is usually indicated by the sequencer going into the red.
It can be very useful to include notes on how you want the track to sound and even by supplying your own rough mix for our engineers to get an impression of the general balance you originally intended.
Sending a rough mix of your song can be helpful, but isn’t needed.
FAQ:
• Is there a limit to the number of tracks I can send?
- No, please send the amount of tracks your project has.
• When the masters are delivered, can I make changes and is there a limit to the amount of changes I can make?
- Yes, absolutely, and there's no limit to the changes you can make and therefore no pressure on getting things just right. If your project is on a specific deadline, then please let us know before hand to clarify your schedule.
Remix Service:
Remixes have become the norm these days, allowing your song the ability to appeal across many different musical genres or dance floors and of course radio station, hence, increasing your chances of greater rotation, which will result in reaching a wider potential fan base. So why not extend your songs appeal and reach with a slamming remix.
