music production is a broad term, but to put it simply, it’s the process of making music.

each project varies in price due to the nature of every song being different. some songs require less work than others so it wouldn’t be fair to charge every project the same. to get an estimate please feel free to book a consultation.

honestly, i think we can do it all. we are always open to new challanges.

comping is the process of stitching the best recordings together to make a “perfect performance”. this is why you usually do several takes while recording.

yes, we have autotune. we also offer wavestune, and melodyne as well.

no, we do not provide the music. you must acquire your own music. whether it be a demo, a type-beat or purchased online.

mixing marks the start of post-production, where an engineer carves and balances the separate tracks in a session to sound good when played together.

with tools like eq, compression, panning, and reverb at their disposal, mix engineers reduce clashes between instruments, tighten grooves, and emphasize important song elements.

• mixing notes/ideas/suggestions that could be useful during the session

• album or song references you’d like for your engineer to A/B during the session

• instrumentals: if you plan on mixing instrumentals or any alternative versions of your track like radio edits or performance tracks please let us know in advaced. this avoids unnecessary recall time since the signal chain is analog; this means that the additional passes can be printed through the console together with the mains during the same session.

• double check you files once they are exported. to save time for everyone, simply drag you stems into your daw and make sure everything bounced properly. (please remove empty tracks with no audio.)

• make sure your stems aren’t clipping, unless it is intentional.

exporting varies for each daw (digital audio workstation). below are a couple of links that might help you out.

– pro tools

– ableton live

– logic pro

– fl studio

– studio one

 if you don’t see your daw above, a simple search online usually points you in the right direction.

yes, we do. if you have more than one song, we usually offer a bundle price for the projects. more work equals lower price per track.

mastering is when an engineer takes the stereo mixdown and both corrects and enhances sonic elements to ensure optimal playback quality across all systems and formats before distribution.

they are also looking to achieve a sense of balance, but across and between the separate songs in an album/ep.

• a final sequence/tracklist with correct titles (if you’re still unsure about your sequence flow then a working sequence is sufficient as a starting point)

• mastering notes/ideas/suggestions that could be useful during the session

• album or song references you’d like for your engineer to A/B during the session

• vinyl sidebreak, speed (33 1/3 or 45RPM) and catalog# if you plan on cutting lacquers. remember, the shorter the side the better the cut

• isrc/upc codes and final song and album titles if you plan on pressing cds

• instrumentals: if you plan on mastering instrumentals or any alternative versions of your mixes like tv or performance tracks please deliver these files with the main mixes. this avoids unnecessary recall time since the signal chain is analog; this means that the additional passes can be printed through the console together with the mains during the same session.
