Before & After Examples

What is Mixing and Mastering?

Mixing is …

… a general term that involves balancing the individual levels of multiple audio tracks of a single song and combining them into a cohesive sound (hence the term ‘multitrack’). Additionally, frequency content (EQ), dynamics, and panning positions are set for each track. Effects such as reverb, delay, echo, chorus, and other effects are added to give a sense ambience to the recorded performance, with each instrument having its own space within the mix. Mixing is done within the context of the recorded material, such as the genre and your sonic vision for your songs. It is both art and science.

Mastering is …

… the glue that puts the finish and polish on the final mix, helping hold it all together, and is where levels are optimized for loudness. If the project is more than one track, such as an EP or album, mastering will bring the different songs together into one cohesive collection. Mastering prepares your music for final distribution; whether that is CD, download, or the various streaming services. It is the final stage of music production in which finishing touches are applied to prepare it for your listeners, audiences, and fans. Like mixing, it is both art and science.

FAQs

Just as each of your songs is unique, every project I work on is different and the price will depend on multiple types of factors which include the mix session, track count, and song count. Get in touch using the form below and I’ll give you a price for my mixing and mastering services based on your needs. If you give me your budget I will do my best to accommodate.

My standard turnaround policy for a single mix is 2-3 days, and mastering a song typically takes 1-2 days. It largely depends on the project itself, the number of tracks, and my current workload.

If you need help with any of the following, please let me know in your message. I want to make this as easy as possible for you so that you can concentrate on making music.

Before submitting your tracks, consolidate each track into its own lossless WAV file so that you have one file per track. The resulting size of all those tracks together can be large. You can use WeTransfer.com or Dropbox for files, or I can give you access to a folder on my secure Google G-Drive for which I will send a personalized link for you to access and upload to. If you choose to use WeTransfer.com, Dropbox or Google Drive, it is best if you consolidate and export your wav files, zip them up in a folder and send. If you’re not sure how to do this, just get in touch with me using the form below or through the contact page. If at all possible, it is helpful if each of the track files are individually named based on its audio content/instrument.

Of course! Just get in touch and explain any areas of concern you might have and I’ll take a listen. I will let you know where I think you could change things or give you advice on recording.

Yes, please! Sending a reference track helps me understand how you want your mixes to sound. A reference track gives me the opportunity to critically listen to professionally produced recordings to bring similar tonal qualities and effects to your mix. I also welcome your own rough mix of your music. A rough mix can give me a good idea of the direction you want to go with it.
