Mixing Services

On November 21, 2008 in Uncategorized

Please Email us for rate information. We try to work within budgets of all sizes. Please email us rough mixes of songs you would like mixed, the date that you need the work completed by, and any other information or questions you may have

In order to provide rates that are affordable for independent artists and producers, we have very strict requirements for session file organization. This will allow us to spend time mixing, avoiding hours of editing and organizing. If these guidelines are not followed an hourly charge will be added to the final bill. Masters will not be delivered until full payment is received.

Guidelines:

1. All Tracks must be named.
2. All Files must be present in the Audio Files Folder of the Session. To ensure this you must open the session and choose the file menu, then the SAVE SESSION COPY command.This will open up a box, where you will need to check the following boxes as shown in the diagram. Wav or AIFF formats are acceptable.

3. All Tracks must be organized according to part and as follows:Left to Right- Drums, Percussion, Bass, Guitars, and All other instruments in order of importance. Followed by: Intro, Verses, all adlibs and harmonies pertaining to that verse, Chorus or Hooks, Bridge, Outro.
4. If you do not use Protools. Please NAME ALL audio files and consolidate themFrom the very beginning of the track to the very end of the track. In other words, all files should be the same length and in ONE PIECE. Please verify this by opening a new file and importing the consolidated files into your new session.LISTEN and make sure the files play correctly.
5. If there are things about your ruff mix that you would like to keep or replicate,Please include the ruff mix and very detailed notes.Please keep in mind that we may not have the same plugins as you and will have to recreate certain things.If you feel it is perfect how you have it, record the track with the effect and include it in your session files.
6. Please REMOVE ALL FILES THAT ARE NOT TO BE USED IN THE SESSION.
7. All files that need to be tuned (autotuned or melodyned) must be done so by the client prior to sending sessions. Tuning will be done at an additional hourly rate

These things will save us all time and money.  Thank you!
