The Mixing Process
1. Kick Off Call: A 10-minute chat to align on goals, references, and timeline. I book on a rolling calendar, so reaching out early helps protect your release timeline.2. File Prep: You send stems + notes. I check recording quality. We only proceed if the tracks can meet your goals. If not, I guide you through the production and recording process.3. First Mix: Within 7 days (often much sooner), I build a mix that matches your vision.4. Mix Review & Revisions: Test on your speakers, headphones, and car. Send notes. Get on the phone if needed. We iterate until you’re happy.5. Mastering: One final polish to playlist-competitive levels (or optionally hand it off to my trusted Grammy-winning collaborators). The final products are lossless WAVs of the main track, the instrumental, and any clean/TV/stage versions. Stems and mp3s are also available upon request.
First Project? Zero Risk.
If your first project is not heading in the right direction after the first revision, I will refund you 100%.
