Session files and stems are available upon request. Address to location will be emailed to you upon booking. Session start time begins at the schedule time, regardless if the artist is present or not. Prices may vary based on location.

b. Mixing & Mastering: We offer many different mixing and mastering packages each of which slightly differ from the next. We encourage you to pick the one that best suits your needs. If you are unsure please reach out and we will be happy to help you figure out which package is best suited for your needs. Every mixing package covers vocal editing and tuning, instrumentation balance, instrumentation effects such as EQ, compression, reverb etc, a set amount of revisions, delivery via email in high quality WAV & MP3 format. What is included in these packages may be subject to change based on your needs and what works best for the project. After receiving payment and approving that the files are ready to mix, we will work diligently to get you a mix he feels is ready for publication within 3-5 days. We will then give you time to listen back to the mix and curate a list of any changes you may want. We will book a 1 hour, one on one studio session either in person or remote, where we will then make these changes. Although timeline varies from project to project we hope to have the entire process wrapped up within 7-10 days. Every Mix package we offer comes with a 1 hour, one on one studio session either in person or remote, where we will address revisions. Each package also comes with 2 additional revisions. These are used for anything after the one on one session where after listening for a week you feel like your vocal isn’t loud enough, we will go back and fix this for you. We will do this twice. Any time spent on your mix/master which is beyond what’s included in your purchased package will be charged hourly. After approval & delivery of the final Mix/Master, we will hold your files for 30 days. After 30 days we are no longer responsible for your files. Please let us know if you wish to get a copy of your session file prior to the finalization of your project.
