MIXING

Our mixing and mastering services are designed to elevate your music to its fullest potential, ensuring it sounds professional, polished, and ready for distribution. We understand that the mixing and mastering stages are crucial in achieving a balanced and cohesive sound, and we have the expertise and tools to deliver exceptional results.

During the mixing stage, our experienced engineers meticulously blend all the elements of your track, including vocals, instruments, and effects. We focus on achieving clarity, depth, and balance, ensuring that each element is heard clearly and contributes to the overall sonic aesthetic of the song. We utilise industry-standard plugins, EQ, compression, and spatial effects to enhance the individual elements and create a cohesive mix that translates well across different playback systems.

Once the mix is finalised, our mastering experts take the finished mix and apply the final touches to enhance its overall sonic quality and loudness. We carefully optimise the frequency balance, stereo width, dynamic range, and overall tonality of the track. This ensures that your music sounds professional and competitive when played alongside other commercial releases.

We understand the importance of maintaining the artistic integrity of your music. We collaborate closely with you throughout the process, taking your input and feedback into account. Our team is dedicated to realising your creative vision and ensuring that the final product aligns with your artistic goals.

Whether you're a solo artist, band, or record label, our mixing and mastering services are tailored to meet your specific needs. We offer competitive pricing packages, fast turnaround times, and a commitment to delivering high-quality results. We invite you to reach out to us to discuss your project and learn more about how we can assist you in achieving the best possible sound for your music.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

  • By this point, you've probably spent so many hours listening to your project that you’re struggling to be decisive or have found yourself doubting whether it is truly finished. If requested, we can give you a mix critique, feedback on any specific parts you're concerned about, or suggestions for any little tweaks that will aid the mastering process.

  • Sit back, relax and with your brief in mind, we will get to work on bringing your project over the finish line, making sure it’s the best sounding version of itself.

    We like good communication, so we will explain the decisions we’ve made during the mastering process and why. This is normally through a short email accompanying the first master.

  • Normally we hit the mark first time around, but if you'd like any tweaks, you'll get free, unlimited revisions within 30 days of receiving the first master.

  • We don't charge extra for alternate mixes. This means any radio edits, instrumentals or PA mixes will be included in the price to make sure you have everything you need.

  • We will deliver every single file type that you need for the distribution plan. We’re talking Hi-Res WAVs, MP3s, Apple Digital Masters, Vinyl Ready Masters and DDPs - Whatever you need!

  • If needed, we can embed metadata into your files before final delivery. We will send over a form for this when we book the project in!

  • If major changes are made to the mix, remasters will be subject to charge.
