Mixing that serves the song
Give your recordings weight, clarity and impact without losing what makes your band sound like you. Mixing brings your multitrack recordings together with EQ, compression, effects and automation, shaping the balance between drums, bass, guitars and vocals. Share a rough mix and reference tracks so we can agree on the direction before the first mix.
2
Mastering for release
The final step between your mix and your listeners. Mastering refines tonal balance, dynamics and level, helping your songs feel cohesive across an EP or album. Send your finished stereo mixes, whether mixed here or elsewhere. You receive release-ready WAV and MP3 files, with clear communication about any mix issues that would benefit from attention first.

A simple remote workflow
Start with your rough mix, reference tracks, number of songs and target release date. For mixing, send clearly named audio tracks exported from the same start point; for mastering, send your finished stereo mixes. We confirm file requirements and availability, then share a first version for your feedback. Gather your notes into each revision round so we can keep the process focused.
