Any Questions?

Most likely, yes. A well-recorded home session can sound great once it's mixed with care. What a mix can't fully fix is clipping, heavy room echo, or constant background noise baked into the take. Send me the session and I'll tell you honestly if anything should be re-recorded before we start.

Export every track as a WAV file starting at bar 1 so everything lines up the moment I open it. Make sure nothing is clipping and turn off any limiter on your master. Then send your rough mix and one or two reference songs so I know where you want to land. A shared Google Drive or WeTransfer link works great.

I start with your rough mix and references, then listen for what makes the song work: the vocal, the groove, the space around it. If something isn't clear, I'll ask. I'd rather ask one extra question than send back a mix that's polished but doesn't feel like yours.

I reply to every inquiry within 24 hours, and project timelines vary depending on the scope of the work. Albums, EPs, films, and audiobooks are bigger jobs, so I'll give you a clear schedule before we begin.

Yes. The consultation is free. Send me a rough mix, a demo, or a reference and I'll give you honest feedback, a breakdown of your references, and advice on recording and release. If I'm not the right fit for your project, I'll tell you that too.

That's normal, and it's built into the process. Mixing includes unlimited revisions. Send your notes in one message, with timestamps if you can, and I'll make the changes and send a revised mix back. Specific notes like "the second chorus vocal feels buried at 1:42" get you there much faster than "make it bigger." Mastering includes one revision.

They're two different steps. Mixing balances the individual tracks. Mastering is the final polish on the finished mix: loudness, tonal balance, and making sure it translates on streaming platforms, headphones, and speakers. I can do both so the whole record stays consistent, or just mastering if you already have a mix you love.

You'll receive WAV and MP3 versions of your finished song, plus stem bounces of the mix if you ask for them. Masters are delivered streaming-ready.

Send a picture-locked video export (the edit is final, so the timing won't change) so I can mix to your final cut. Along with it, send the audio from your edit: your editor can export an AAF or OMF, or you can send your dialogue, music, and effects tracks as WAV files. Tell me where the film is going, whether that's a festival, a streaming platform, or broadcast, so I deliver to the right specs. If the dialogue needs rescuing, I'll tell you up front what's realistic.

A final mix delivered to your specs, plus separate stems for dialogue, music, and effects. Those stems give you room later for trailers, foreign-language versions, or re-edits without starting over.

Unprocessed WAV recordings, one file per chapter, recorded in the same space with the same mic setup if you can. Please skip noise reduction, EQ, and compression beforehand; I'll handle it so the sound stays consistent from start to finish. Tell me where the book is going (ACX, a publisher, or your own site) and I'll mix and master to those technical requirements.

Usually, depending on the severity of the difference. Changes in mic distance, room sound, and how your voice feels from day to day all show up between sessions. I clean up the noise and match tone and loudness so the chapters sound like they were recorded in one place. If a particular session is too far off, I'll tell you honestly so you can decide whether it's worth re-recording.
