FAQ
-
Yes. I work directly with artists, bands and producers. I’m happy to become part of the production process where that makes sense, or simply take the finished production and focus entirely on the mix.
-
Every project's a little different, so I'd rather talk it through than throw a number at you. Drop me a message about what you're working on and we'll figure out what makes sense.
-
The standard mixing fee includes:
Mix versions including Main Mix, Instrumental, Acapella and TV Mix.
Exported group stems for drums, bass, keys, guitars, backing vocals and lead vocals
All necessary mix revisions and final delivery
Individual / single-track stems are not included in the standard fee. If you require fully bounced individual tracks, these can be provided for an additional fee.
-
No. Fully bounced individual tracks are available for an additional fee. Group stems are included in the standard mixing fee.
-
I want the mix to feel right for you, so revisions are part of the process. We’ll work through feedback until we arrive at a mix that feels finished.
-
All individual tracks with processing, but without running them through the master chain. (The only exception being, if there's a plugin on the master that acts as an integral part of the whole sound like filters or special fx. When in doubt, let's talk)
For all tracks where you already have a special blend or treatment, feel free to bounce / consolidate them as one. There's no need to recreate something, that you worked on meticulously to have it sound a certain way.
On top of that, please also provide group stems for drums, bass, keys, guitars, backing vocals and lead vocals, including all processing on the respective groups, but without running them through the master chain. (as above: The only exception being, if there's a plugin on the master that acts as an integral part of the whole sound like filters or special fx. When in doubt, let's talk)
Please also include screenshots of the master chain, and if there's a lot of processing going on on the groups please include screenshots of these aswell.
For the lead vocals, please provide:
one completely dry stem, including only (auto-)tuning, no additional processing
one dry processed stem (incl. eqs, dynamics, saturation etc, excl. verbs, delays, widening) etc,
if possible, the effects as a separate wet stem,
and one full lead-vocal stem, processed and including all FX.
All audio tracks are required in WAV format, at least 24bit or higher, all exported from the exact same starting point.
Name your stems properly and remove unneccesary track suffixes.
Ideally the stems should reproduce the current roughmix perfectly. Please include the roughmix and tempo information, if available.
If there’s an Ableton Live or Pro Tools session available, feel free to send that as well, with all tracks frozen. -
Yes. If you’re working in Ableton Live or Pro Tools, you can send the session with all tracks frozen. Alternatively, you can send consolidated audio files.
-
Once we’ve agreed on the project, I’ll send you the details for uploading your files.
-
This depends on the project, but I’ll give you an estimated turnaround when we discuss the project and schedule.
-
Yes. My background is in songwriting and production, so I’m happy to get involved beyond the mix when a song needs additional production, editing or arrangement work. These services are quoted separately.
