Mixing Services

PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING

This service is offered to those who have their music recorded in advance and prepared for mixing only. In spite of that, in-studio recording is not included. Keep in mind when performing work thoroughly in a stress-free atmosphere, I expect your work to be completely organized. Otherwise, the more work there is, the higher the price will be. Additional recordings, auxiliary/instrument/midi channels will increase the rates. Some artists will try to avoid additional charges when they consolidate their work into a few stems, which is extremely overwhelming and time-consuming to edit. If your music only contains a few long stem files with an enormous amount of vocal/instrument recordings, additional charges may still apply. A lot of audio editing (which includes mix preparation, vocal comping, silence stripping, etc.) will take up a lot of my time and expertise. Send me a message and I will respond with a price quota confirmation for your project. For more info, go to my FAQ page for any questions or concerns.

TYPES OF AUDIO MIXES

BASIC MIXING

$2 for each additional stem

Basic mixing techniques which will add sparkle to your raw and unedited recordings. Audio editing will be involved with removing plosives, clicks, clips, sibilance, crackles, adding smooth fades, resonances and crossfades. Also, including bus compression which will give a punch, loud and cohesive mix. A basic mix will give you a good quality sound. This includes some basic EQ, compression, reverb, delay, de-essing, noise gating and distortion with standard DAW plugins.

ADVANCED MIXING

Advanced EQ, compression, reverb, delay, de-essing, noise gating, distortion, side-chaining/keying, auto-tuning and mix automation with Waves plugins.

STEM MIXING
$65.00 (15 stem limit)
($3 for each additional stem)

Stem mixing is a practical step of combing groups of stems and processing them individually by merging them into a final master mix. The stems will be modified through discreet chains of plug-ins to achieve a different effect through the groups of audio tracks. Prior to the song being fully or partially mixed beforehand, stem mixing is a way to genuinely "fix" the mix. The goal is to take all of the individual tracks and export them into groups called "stems".

DIGITAL EDITING
$45.00 (10 stem limit)

If you want your work (film, TV or music) to be edited to have more of a better and organic version then this is the process you are looking for. All of the tools will be provided which involves removing crackles, clicks and background noises to a degree and creating smooth entrances/exits from the audio clips (stems and/or regions).

RADIO EDITS
$25.00 per song

Radio editing is the production of an alternative version of a song that becomes appropriate for commercial radio by removing tasteless lyrics, profanity and/or any other element that could discourage any radio station or producers from playing it. The common time for airplay is, at least, three minutes for a song to be approved or otherwise, it will be rejected.

MUSIC TRANSFERS / EXPORTS

Otherwise, your work will be discarded permanently.
