FAQs

Getting Started

You upload your song, I master it and send back a 1 minute portion as a full-quality 24-bit .wav. If you're happy with it, I'll send an invoice followed by the full track once payment is received. Any revisions will take place once the full file is sent. If the sample doesn't meet your expectations, then there is no payment needed, and your project file will be deleted.

To enhance and not alter. The aim is to cement the vibe/groove while accentuating it where possible, all while ensuring consistent playback on various systems.

File Prep

The main thing is to make sure the mix isn't clipping. If you're happy with the vibe and feel of the limited version of the mix, feel free to send that over and I'll work off the already established sound. When in doubt, you can send a limited and unlimited file if available. Please send your songs as 24 or 32 bit .wav in their original sample rate.

You can upload from the Secure Upload Portal linked here and above.

Please include the following info:

  • Deliverables: List any alternate versions needed (Instrumentals, TV mixes, etc.).
  • References/Direction: Links to reference tracks or notes on the sonic direction you're aiming for.
  • Tracklist: The final song order for EPs or Albums (if applicable).
  • Timeline: If you have a specific deadline.

It's typically not necessary as the mix will be the main reference. If there's a specific "sound" or loudness target in mind, feel free to include a link to a reference. If the song needs to match the style and flow of an existing project, it's helpful to include the other tracks as reference material.

Policies

Yes, 1 revision is included in the quoted price. If more are needed, there may be an additional fee depending on the nature of the revisions. Please note that if a new mix needs to be swapped in, an additional fee may apply.

A typical turnaround time is 1-2 working days for a single or short EP. Larger projects have longer turnaround times, anywhere from 4-5 days and up.

Invoices are sent via Wave Accounting, which accepts a typical range of payment types (credit/debit cards, ACH, PayPal, ApplePay). New clients utilizing a test master will be invoiced before the full track is sent. Recurring customers will be invoiced upon master approval. Larger projects may require a 50% deposit before work begins.

Deliverables

You will receive a 24 bit and 16 bit .wav of the mastered song at the original sample rate and at 44.1khz (if different from the original sample rate), as well as an MP3 for sharing and reference. If you requested a DDP image for CD distribution, those files will also be included.

Yes, a DDP image can be provided for a flat fee of $50. DDP images are included free for full projects 10 tracks or more in length.
