The turnaround varies based on the project’s size, complexity and our current work volume, but a standard single song usually takes 4-7 business days. For mastering only, it usually just takes one day for a single song. For EPs and full albums it can take from 10-14 business days. If you’re in a rush, we can expedite your songs for a small additional fee.

Commonly accepted formats include WAV and AIFF, with a minimum resolution of 16-bit (24 or 32-bit is preferred) and a sample rate of 44.1 kHz or higher. You’ll also receive instructions on how to send your DAW project files.

In the initial onboarding process you’ll receive detailed instructions for some of the most popular DAWs to prepare your tracks for mixing. But, basically your tracks should be recorded with no clipping. Each track should be labeled to identify the individual sounds. A rough mix is also required as a reference to help convey your artistic vision to the mix engineer.

I prefer to start the mixing process from where you last left it. Therefore, if you don’t provide the DAW project files, I kindly request that you export and send two sets of each individual multi-tracked files: one set labeled “processed,” leaving your effects, compression, EQ, etc. on (turn off any mix/master bus limiting or loudness processing). The second set should be labeled “unprocessed” with no effects, EQ, or compression applied (bypass all effects). Feel free to leave pitch correction plugins like Auto-Tune or Melodyne on the unprocessed multi-track files. Make sure each track’s file starts at bar one in the timeline before you export. Create two folders and name them “Artist Name_Song Name_Mix Prep_Processed” and “Artist Name_Song Name_Mix Prep_Unprocessed” then place each set of exported files in the corresponding folder. Zip both folders and send to [email protected] using a file sharing service such as WeTransfer.

Yes. Vocal pitch correction with Melodyne or AutoTune is included and applied where needed or at your request. It can be applied lightly for a natural sound or more heavily for an obvious effect.

I require that you send along a rough mix of your song(s) in wav or mp3 format as a reference guide to best represent what you envision. This is critical, as it gives me some idea as to which elements in the song are most important to you and the overall vibe you’re trying to achieve. It also limits confusion and speeds up the turnaround time. Think of your rough mix as a road map for me to follow. Without a destination, I can very easily take your song in the wrong direction. Because it is so important, I will turn away any projects that do not provide a rough mix.

Yes. Each mix project will be delivered with the following alternate versions:
Clean Mix (broadcast friendly)
Instrumental Mix
Acapella Mix
TV Mix
Clean Acapella Mix
Clean TV Mix

After you complete the project onboarding process and upload your files, your files will be reviewed for errors. If everything looks okay, you will receive a PayPal invoice via email. You will have the option to pay the total amount or pay a 50% deposit. If you choose to pay a deposit, the remaining 50% will be due upon project completion when you receive your project review files. Your project will not start until you pay a deposit. Delayed payment may affect your selected turnaround date.
