Before the mixing process begins, details regarding the music to be mixed must be made by you. A phone consultation will be scheduled so that technical and creative aspects of the project are determined before any work begins.

Technical:

• Recording Platform/Software used.
• File Type, Sample Rate and Bit Depth.
• Size of the project.
• How to export the project for upload.

Creative:

• What is the purpose of the song (who will be listening to it and how will they get it).
• Reference mixes for stylistic interpretation.

Once these factors have been determined an invoice will be sent to you. We purposefully submit the invoice for audio mixing services after the consultation so that both parties are comfortable that the job will be done as envisioned by you. Although we are comfortable mixing most styles of music, not every connection is a good match. We will not mix a project unless both parties feel comfortable and confident.

Depending on the size and number of the songs to be mixed, a variety of different options for uploading, or mailing if necessary, will be made available. Once the best method has been determined, We will load the files into my system so that the work can begin. If there are any issues with the upload, a second consultation may be necessary to take care of any technical issues that may arise.

Once the songs are successfully downloaded by us, the mixing work will begin. Depending on the length of the song, the number of audio tracks and any technical or production issues that arise, most songs are completed one per day. Shorter songs with lower track count can be completed 2 or more per day. Longer songs with a higher track count may take two days to complete.

As part of the audio mixing services application process a timeframe for the completion of the work will be established. The timeframe for completion will be based on current scheduling and a realistic timeframe for uploading and verification of your songs. No mixing work will begin until all the files are verified.

During the course of mixing, 1 reference mix will be uploaded for you to listen to. The reference mix are usually uploaded after the mix is about 80-95% done. The reference mix is uploaded so that you can monitor the progress of the mix and make any suggestions and adjustments toward the approach of the mix.

This helps to prevent any misunderstandings regarding your preferences for the sound and direction of the mix. Comments may include general comments on the balances, equalization, compression or effects processing for any part of the song. Example: we want more reverb on the vocals, can you make the guitars louder in the chorus section, make the drums more aggressive sounding, etc.

More specific comments may reference detailed adjustments. Example: The 3^rd line of the vocal in the 1^st verse needs to be louder, can you put a quarter note delay on the last vocal line of the bridge section, can you make the snare just a touch brighter, etc.

After receiving your comments and feedback regarding the reference mix, adjustments will be made to accommodate your requests. A followup mix will be uploaded for approval before the final mix will be printed. It is typical that most mixes require only one or two adjustments before printing.

When mixing several songs from the same recording sessions, it is not uncommon for the first couple of songs to require more reference mixes until the specific direction is defined. Once this has been established, it will be easier to mix the remaining songs (hence the discount for more songs). It may be necessary to revisit the first couple of mixes if the direction of the project, as a whole, takes a few songs to fully establish.

The final mixes may be downloaded via FTP or delivered through wetransfer.com. The final mixes are typically formatted at the same sample rate and bit depth as the multitrack session. This will preserve the highest level of quality for the mixes prior to mastering. The higher sample rate and bit depth is necessary to keep the quality of the processing during the mastering session at its best before downsampling for the CD production master.

If you have also hired us to master the final mixes, the files will be provided individually as well as in DDP (Disc Description Protocol) format for CD manufacturing. In addition to the audio mixing services we provide, a copy of the final multitrack mix session can be provided, upon request, in an archival DVD format for a small additional fee plus shipping.

Both package have the same mix quality when it comes to the vocals. The only difference is that the album package will get your beat mixed with the individual tracks (snare, kick, hi-hat, bass, sample, etc) instead of a one individual stereo track file. The advantage of the album package is that we can make the drums really stand out since we have access to each individual sound. If you or your beatmaker don't have these files then you only need the Mixtape package.

Mixing is basically tinkering with everything you have recorded to complete your songs. You'll do things like drop in effects, adjust fader, EQ your tracks and so on. Think of mixing as putting the puzzle together. You're putting together the parts of what you have recorded, making sure everything hangs together right, and putting some finishing touches on things. When you're done mixing your songs, you should pleased with the way the song sounds and feel confident that you don't need to add anything musically.

Mastering is adding sparkle and shine to your music. In a very basic sense, when you master your album, you're making sure that song one doesn't blow out the speakers while song two is barely audible - in other words, you want the levels of the songs to be similar and you want a general sense of cohesiveness to your recording, It also add the finishing touches to the song to bring it to its highest poetntial, making as loud as possible without distorting and making the song sound big and strong while sounding wider and clearer to emerge you in its sound. No song should be without mastering!

Mastering is the final step in bringing your recording to its optimum potential. It gives your music the professional commercial quality necessary to compete nationally and globally. No matter if your audio is planned for radio, CD/cassette duplication, CDRom/DVD authoring or publishing to the world wide web, it must be mastered to take full advantage of the media in which it is to be released.

After working on countless songs and albums, mastering engineers develop an acute sense of sonic and musical knowledge that is key to successful mastering. It’s also a huge plus that the mastering engineer wasn‘t there when you recorded and mixed your album. Hearing your songs for the first time, a fresh pair of ears can offer truly objective advice.

Please Note: ISRC is NOT required to use our services.

The International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) is an international standard code for uniquely identifying sound recordings and music video recordings. The code was developed by the recording industry in conjunction with the ISO technical committee 46, subcommittee 9 (TC 46/SC 9), which codified the standard as ISO 3901 in 1986, and updated it in 2001.

An ISRC code identifies a particular recording, not the work (composition and lyrical content) itself. Therefore, different recordings, edits, and remixes of the same work should each have their own ISRC code. Works are identified by ISWC codes. Recordings remastered without significant audio-quality changes should retain their existing ISRC codes, but the threshold is left to the discretion of the record company.

The provision of ISRCs is overseen by appointed national ISRC agencies. These national ISRC agencies issue codes directly to the public and may also utilize authorized ISRC Managers to issue ISRCs. In the United States, the appointed agency is RIAA. ISRC codes can be obtained directly from RIAA for an administrative fee ($80 at time of this publication) or from a commercial ISRC manager.[4] Only in territories where there is no national ISRC agency does IFPI provide codes to users.
