Mixing & Mastering

You’ve written your song to completion, tracked your instrument leads, comped your vocals and arranged a breakbeat on the bridge – everything you need to record has been recorded and sequenced, but you haven’t gone through mixing and mastering your multitrack yet.

Having a mix engineer tone and balance your soundscape is creatively important, for the sake of every aspect and creative choice artists make above; without a well-contoured mix, vocals are drowned out, guitar riffs become unrecognisably muddy, and aspects overshadow one another, ultimately disallowing any one part of your songwriting to shine.

The last thing you want is for all the minuscule detail you’ve put into arrangement and playing to lose out, all to the kill-joy of a rough mix that hasn’t been polished for platform distribution.
Online mastering is our fix to this, making sure that overall playback levels are ready for the listening experience.

How Can I Prepare for Online Mixing and Mastering?

• Please paste a WeTransfer or Google drive link to your multi-tracks and other files in the order form to get started.
• Projects should be sent over as multi-tracks/stems for mixing. In a zipped folder, please provide both unprocessed and processed (if any) versions of your multi-tracks, demo mixes and references.
• The turnover time for a mix is anywhere from 3-7 days. The exact time depends on the nature of your project and current workload at the studio.
• When mastering, we require the mixdown of your song with sufficient headroom (target -6dB RMS or -17LUFS) for mastering, along with any demo or reference masters you have – this ensures that processing applies in the master stage without adding any unwanted saturation or distortion.

Not Sure How to Send Tracks Over?

Please contact us with information about the digital audio workstation (DAW) that you have recorded in. We will send you a detailed video guide accordingly.
