What is the difference between mixing and mastering?

Mixing balances the individual tracks in your song — adjusting levels, EQ, compression, and effects so everything works together. Mastering takes the final stereo mix and optimizes it for distribution across streaming platforms, vinyl, CD, or broadcast.

Can you mix or master audio files recorded somewhere else?

Yes. We regularly receive raw tracks from artists who recorded at home or at other studios. Send us your session files and we will handle the mix, the master, or both.

How many revision rounds are included in the mix price?

We work with you until the result is right. Our process includes revision rounds to ensure you are fully satisfied before we deliver your final files.

What file formats do you deliver?

We deliver WAV masters at industry-standard 24-bit resolution plus MP3s optimized for streaming. We can also deliver DDP image files for CD manufacturing if needed.

How do I send you my tracks for mixing or mastering?

We accept session exports, individual WAV stems, or a reference mix depending on your project. Contact us and we will send you a clear checklist of everything we need before we begin.
