Stereo Mixing

Absolutely, additional revisions can be made for an additional cost calculated on an hourly basis.

An updated version of the mix, known as a revision, incorporates a variety of minor modifications. These can include things like changes to the balance, increasing the wetness of vocals, adding a gradual fade-up of synth pads during the verse, and making the bass sound fuller.

We base our online mixing rates on a 48 channel limit (with stereo files counting as two channels). If your project exceeds this limit, we can still accommodate you for an additional fee. To streamline your channel count and save on costs, consider consolidating multiple backing vocal tracks into a stereo mix.

We estimate that it will take 10 days to mix a maximum of 4 songs per project. However, if you have more than 4 songs you want mixed, you can still book with us. It may take longer than our target of 10 days, but we will provide an estimated completion time once the booking is confirmed.

Upon completion of the mix, we will provide you with the following: a high-resolution stereo mix, a reference mix in 16-bit/44.1kHz WAV and MP3 formats, an instrumental mix, and an a cappella mix.

We can mix songs of any length! Our 10-day turnaround is based on the assumption that songs will typically be around or under 5 to 6 minutes. If the songs you're booking are longer than this, it may affect our ability to complete them within 10 days. However, we will provide you with an estimated completion time upon booking confirmation. We will always do our best to accommodate you, but if you book a group of songs that are shorter, like 5x 30-minute songs, we may have to discuss other options as online mixing may not be suitable for you.

Yes, we can certainly take your specific direction into consideration while mixing. If you have a particular reference in mind that you would like your song to resemble, please let us know and share what you like about that reference. We will keep that in mind during the mixing process.

For online mixing services, payment is required at the time of booking. We will begin working on your song once payment has been cleared. Payment can be made via debit or credit card.

We primarily mix using Pro Tools. If you also use Pro Tools, you can send us your session. Be sure to commit any processing you want to keep, as we may have different plugins available. If you are using a different DAW, we will need audio files exported from your session at the sample rate and bit depth they were recorded in. Please ensure that all audio files start from the same point (e.g. bar 1/beat 1) and are in WAV or AIFF format (44.1, 48, 88.2, or 96kHz). Also, please bounce or commit any MIDI instruments as audio files, with a bit depth of 24-bit or 32-bit floating point.

We generally prefer to start with the final version of a sound or recording, keeping any important effects or processing. However, for vocals and other effects that can be easily replicated, please provide both the original "dry" version and the final "wet" version. This gives us the flexibility to build upon your ideas. Please label the files clearly and let us know which is which.

Yes, we can perform additional editing tasks beyond mixing, but it's an extra task that will incur an additional fee. To ensure a smooth mixing process, we ask that you handle these types of edits before the mix. If you would like our engineers to handle them, we can accommodate you for an additional fee. Keep in mind that any editing may extend the turnaround time of your project beyond the 10-day guarantee.
