Mixing
You have the recordings. Now let’s make them work together. Full mixing and editing brings the instruments, vocals and feel of your song into one finished mix.
Give every part its place.
Mixing is where we balance the tracks, shape the tone and control the dynamics. The vocal needs to be heard, the drums need to move the song and the instruments need room to work together. The goal is to bring out your music and keep the performance feeling like you.
Editing is part of the process.
Editing can include quantizing drums, lining up guitars, tuning vocals and cleaning up distractions. Some songs need a lot of detail work. Others need a lighter touch. Tell us how tight or natural you want the performance to feel, and send a few reference tracks that help explain the direction.
The tools behind the mix.
We work in Pro Tools 12 with tools from the Steven Slate Collection, FabFilter, Waves and NeuralDSP. The software gives us plenty of options, but the decisions come back to the song. We use what helps the music instead of adding processing just because it is available.
Recorded somewhere else? Send it over.
Mixing is available for music recorded here or elsewhere. Export your tracks from the same starting point so they line up, keep the files clearly named and include a rough mix if you have one. Tell us which effects are part of the sound you want to keep. Mixing is $75/hour, with no hidden mixing fees.
Revisions and small fixes.
One full revision is included. Unlimited small fixes are included if something was missed. Changes that need extended time, or corrections to a performance mistake made during the session, are billed hourly.
A few things to know.
Is mastering the same as mixing?
No. Mixing works with the individual tracks. Mastering works with the finished mix and prepares it for release. We offer both, and can explain where your project needs to go next.
Do I need to book studio tracking time?
No. You can contact us about mixing existing recordings. The studio session setup fee applies to in-studio sessions, not mixing-only work.
