Full Mixing lets us control each individual track, so we can make all kind of improvements, write automations, add effects and so on. Stem Mixing (also called Stem Mastering), means working with the pre-mixed groups (for example: drums, bass, vocals...) for better control before mastering. Mastering enhances and optimizes the tone, the dynamics and the loudness of the final mix, making it ready for distribution.
1-2 revisions usually do the trick, and you'll get up to 3 for free.
If it gets really hard, we'll work over live stream so you can follow the session in real time (up to 1 hour free).
You can also replace or add new elements.
First we evaluate the project, then set the goal and fix the price. We'll start working when all the required files are ready.
From there, we'll make every necessary revisions based on your feedback, also over live streaming.
Mixing - typically 2-5 days (depending on project size, quality of the material, goals, and whether we choose to experiment with new ideas or not).
Mastering - typically 1 day.
Rush delivery available on request for all services.
We always include the mix (both mastered and unmastered), instrumental and unmastered stems. We can create alternative mix versions (e.g., clean, acapella, TV mix...) on request.
Of course, progressive discounts on everything whenever you have a project with more than 3 songs (5% OFF), 5 o (10% OFF)r more than 7 (15% OFF).
When we're done, you can easily pay the invoice with a bank transfer.
In alternative, you can hire me on SoundBetter.com and let them manage everything from the beginning.
As a general rule, it's sufficient to bypass any heavy processing used to attempt mixing or mastering.
Dry files are better if you need pitch or timing corrections. You can send both Dry and Wet files to have maximum flexibility. You should generally keep the sound design you've made and the effects you love!
It is generally recommended to disable any master bus processing, even if the preset is named "best compressor setting ever".
But every project is different, and some effects may need to be kept on, We'll help you find out what to do.
You can use the same sample rate of your session (to avoid any unnecessary conversions) with a 24-bit resolution. However, we would recommend to send 48 kHz / 32-bit wav files to avoid any chance of digital clipping.
aaand never use dithering!
You have total control over that. I can contribute to the production or be completely technical. I'm always open to bring new ideas in, and we'll choose the best mixing approach together.
90 cubic meters, nearly perfect acoustics. Loaded with Ex-Machina Quasar monitors (paired with 4x 18" subwoofers) and custom-built 3-way main speakers. Avid HDX converters and a 24-fader digital desk. Pro Tools expanded with (literally) the best plugins on the market.
Studio headphones setup: ESS Sabre Ultra (DAC), SPL Phonitor One (amplifier), HIFIMAN Sundara and Audeze LCD-X (headphones).
Not really. We believe that modern plugin emulations can do a great job. But if you demand vintage / analog equipment we'll deploy a selection of legendary machines such as Tube-Tech SMC-2B, Tube-Tech CL-1B, Tube-Tech PE-1C, UA UREI 1176LN, Fairman TCS, Neve 8816, and much more.
