Your music. Your way.

Mixing takes your individual tracks or stems and gives each element its own space with EQ, compression, reverb and more, then combines them into one stereo track.

Mastering is the final step. It makes every song on a release sound coherent, helps it play back well everywhere (earbuds, car, club PA), and makes it louder and more impactful without compromising its sonic integrity.

A song is usually mixed in 2-5 days, and an album in 5-15 days, depending on the number of stems and the workload. Mastering is faster: about 1-3 days for a song and under 5 days for most albums.

I don't do free samples, because they slow down turnaround for everyone. Instead, you get 10 days of free revisions, so you'll love the final version. You can also hear before-and-after examples in the player above.

For 10 days after the first version, I'll revise your mix or master for free until it's right.

Yes. Vocal tuning is its own service, separate from mixing and mastering, so mention it when you tell me about your project. If your vocal already has tuning on it, I'll mix it as is.

Mixing and mastering work with the sounds you recorded. Post-production adds or changes things that weren't in your files: tuning effects, keys or strings, drum replacement or arrangement changes.

Mixing does not include performance editing. Editing is a separate process that should be completed before mixing. Often mixing reveals flaws in the performance and can require editing to give a final professional result.

A stem is one or more tracks mixed down to a single stereo file. A chorus might use ten vocal tracks, but the chorus vocal stem is one stereo file.

Every stem must start at the very beginning of the song and run to the end, even if it's silent for most of it. Stems that start at different points can't be lined up.

1. Export uncompressed files (WAV or AIFF) at the sample rate and bit depth you recorded at.
2. Leave about 5 seconds of silence before and after the song.
3. Remove effects from the master bus, or send two versions: with and without.
4. Leave at least -3 dBFS of headroom (-6 dBFS is better).
5. Turn off normalization and dithering when you export.

For mixing, if a plugin is part of the sound you want, leave it on. For mastering, don't put effects on the master bus, because they eat the headroom mastering needs. If you love the sound with them, send both versions.

Send the highest quality you have: WAV, AIFF, FLAC or OGG. MP3s work but have already lost quality. Export at the sample rate and bit depth you recorded at, for example 24-bit at 48 kHz. Don't upsample.

Send 24-bit files at 44.1 kHz or higher, at the rate you recorded. Don't convert them to a higher sample rate first.

Send a link, or use your favorite file transfer service (Dropbox, WeTransfer, Google Drive) to send your files once we've agreed on the project.

Make one folder named after your artist. Inside it, one folder per service (for example "Mixing" or "Mastering"), then one folder per song. In each song folder, put a "Stems" folder with your audio and a "Reference" folder with any reference tracks or notes. Zip the artist folder and upload the zip.
