MIXING
Industry standard mixing and mastering by engineers with millions of streams worldwide. We transform your raw stems into a polished, distribution-ready master.
Press play, then switch between the raw stems and the finished master.
• Full in-depth mix: comprehensive creative processing, precision vocal editing, EQ, compression and instrumental balancing.
• Distribution master: hi-res limiting and final polish for a loud, commercial, streaming-ready track. Includes a clean version, delivered as WAV for distributors.
• 2 revisions max: two rounds of targeted tweaks. The project closes once your final delivery is signed off or the revisions are used. No further changes without a new purchase.
• 14-day turnaround: two weeks maximum, starting once your mix is assigned to an engineer (up to 24 hours), to ensure thorough human post-production and strict quality control.
• 01 Book and agree: pick your songs and click through the terms.
• 02 Drop your stems: fill out the song form, upload your files through the secure link, then check out.
• 03 Assigned to an engineer: your mix has to be assigned to an engineer first, which can take up to 24 hours.
• 04 Get your mix back: after that, we mix it (14 days max) and email you a download link for your WAV and clean version.
MASTERING
Industry standard mastering by engineers with millions of streams worldwide. We take your finished mix and turn it into a polished, distribution-ready master. Mastering by itself costs less than a mix and usually comes back faster.
Press play, then switch between the mixed song and the finished master.
Mastering is the last step before your song comes out. We work on the whole song at once, not one sound at a time. Think of it like washing and waxing a car: the car is already built, so we just make the whole thing shine.
• Mixed somewhere else: someone already mixed your song and you like it. You just want it to sound finished and ready to release.
• No stems needed: we only need the one finished song file.
• Heads up: mastering can't fix one sound by itself. If the vocal is too quiet or the drums are too loud, that's a mixing job. Want the best result? Get it mixed: every mix comes with a master.
• Full mastering pass: precision EQ, multiband compression, stereo imaging and loudness optimization tailored to your mix.
• Distribution master: hi-res limiting and final polish for a loud, commercial, streaming-ready track, delivered as WAV for distributors.
• No revisions: mastering is a one-pass service. Make sure your mix is final before you submit it.
• 14-day turnaround: two weeks maximum, often faster. The clock starts when your payment goes through (your files are already uploaded by then), not before.
• 01 Book and agree: pick your songs and click through the terms.
• 02 Drop your track: fill out the song form, upload your finished mix through the secure link, then check out.
• 03 Get your master back: we master it and email you a download link for your master (WAV).
+ ENGINEER
An in-house engineer runs your session. You show up, record, and we handle the rest. Your booking includes rough mixes of your songs.
Mixing is not included in recording sessions. What you get is rough mixes only, which are high-quality in-studio demos, not the final version. When you want a finished mix, add mixing separately.
$75 per hour. Sessions with an engineer need 8 hours notice.
NO ENGINEER
Best for self-sufficient artists and producers, and for students who just need to use the facility at a cheaper rate. It's a self-serve session: you run the room yourself and no engineer is provided.
A 4 hour block is $150 and an 8 hour lockout is $200.
HOW LONG?
With no engineer you book the whole studio to yourself, which we call a lockout. Nobody else is in the room and you run the session yourself. Pick a block length:
4 HR BLOCK, $150. A 4 hour lockout session. There are six start times a day: 6AM, 10AM, 2PM, 6PM, 10PM and 2AM.
8 HR BLOCK, $200. An 8 hour lockout session, the same thing for a full 8 hours. Choose early (6AM to 2PM), mid (2PM to 10PM) or night (10PM to 6AM).
Good to know: bring your own hard drive and export your files before your time is up. You can bring up to 4 guests, and everyone is registered at checkout. We ask for a government ID once for lockouts. Your time starts when your booking starts, not when you arrive.
HOW MANY HOURS?
Sessions with an engineer are $75 per hour. Pick how many hours you want now, 1 to 8, and choose your start time at checkout.
An in-house engineer runs the session and you get rough mixes. Mixing is not included. We need 8 hours notice for sessions with an engineer.
