Receive your preview mix
You can choose to pass or pay after evaluating the mix preview. No payment is required if you pass, and revisions and full-quality file delivery are available once payment is received.
Vocal editing, tuning, pitch correction, and different edits (radio edit, live backing track) are also available as an add-on or standalone service.
Pricing & Next Steps
Pricing depends on the specific needs of each song. Prices typically range from $100 for a short and simple 2-track mix to $500+ for a multitrack mix with editing and detailed vocal tuning. Remember that there is no obligation to pay if you're not satisfied with the mix preview.

FAQs
Note: This FAQ is for the "on spec" mixing service. For general mixing FAQs, visit the mixing page.
The main difference is when payment happens. With a Spec Mix, payment is only required if you decide to keep the mix. It allows you to gauge the quality of my work and see if our sonic tastes align before committing any budget.
The deliverable is an MP3 of the mix with occasional dropouts to the audio for watermarking. I also include one round of revisions for the spec mix to test our communication style and see how I handle your feedback.
If you are content with the direction of your demo, send over the tracks with whatever processing they have. If you'd rather I start fresh, go ahead and send them raw. If ever in doubt, you can send two copies, one with effects on and one with them off. If you're sending a Pro Tools session, leave all your effects on.
Other than the demo mix, it's not strictly necessary to send a reference track. If you have a specific vibe or sonic direction in mind, sending a reference track can aid in getting the mix in the right direction.
Once the spec mix preview is approved and payment is settled, you receive the full file package: 24bit WAVs of the main mix and limited mix, instrumental and vocal-only prints, and a 320kbps MP3. Additional stem prints are also doable if requested (backing vocals only, lead vocal only, etc.).
None at all. If the mix isn't the right fit for your vision, you can walk away with no fees or obligations at all.
You always keep 100% ownership of your song composition. The spec mix is only meant to be used for your internal review. Since it is an unpaid trial, the preview mix cannot be released publicly. Once we move forward and payment is handled, you have full rights to release the mix.
