Online Mixing and Mastering Studio Services

It’s all about experience!

Sending your song for mixing and mastering can be a challenge these days, with so many options to choose from. We’re here to make this choice a no-brainer, by offering personalized quotation based on the complexity of your project and also sending a free demo of the mixed and mastered version of your song. All you will have to do is send us the separate stems (multi-track) audio files of your project in wav or aiff format and also some songs (links should be fine) that could be used as a reference (already released songs of which overall sound you might find desirable for your project). Sending Cubase, Ableton Live, Logic Pro X or Pro Tools project files is also an option. Make sure that no effects others than the one that you really insist on keeping are used on the tracks – we’ll definitely have some better options and we’ll make more educated decisions when it comes to eq’ing, compression, adding reverbs, etc. Feel free to send us your own version of mixed song, but expect for some serious adjustments – in the end, that’s why you choose your song to us. A common trap is the “temp love”, which means the tendency to get used to the temporary sound that you came up with so far. Always allow yourself to listen to different mix versions of your songs after a several days break in order to have a more objective position.

Creative mixing techniques

Mixing techniques have continuously evolved and adapted to the digital world, so that what seemed to be enough few years ago (controlling the dynamics, stereo placement and depth of your song elements) is only perceived as a basic approach to mixing nowadays. Every other studio may have the tools: a properly acoustic treated room, professional studio monitors, hardware gear and tons of plugins, but it’s the way these tools are creatively used with crazy attention to details that will definitely make a song stand out. It’s no longer enough to “set and forget” a compressor on the vocals when for today’s Billboard charted songs, most of the time painstaking word and syllable-based automation approach is required. It’s not about making those drums “thump” by raising/cutting the low/mid/hi frequencies anymore, it’s definitely about knowing which equalizer is best for what purpose, comparing and maybe stacking them accordingly. Every song is unique, so that’s how every mixing session should be.

Mastering is about getting that extra depth and loudness and it can do wonders to a professional crafted mix. Most of the times, we prefer to make both the mixing and the mastering, but when only mastering process is needed, we’d really appreciate it if you could also send us both the mixed version of your song and also the main elements of your songs as separate tracks (drums, vocals, bass, synths, etc.), so that we could really focus on the magic side of changing the sound through mastering, rather than using it for repairing those things that were not nailed properly during the mixing stage.
