Mixing

When our mix fits your project

Best when you arrive from voice recording, band recording or your own DAW with usable tracks and want an external pair of ears. We mix pop, rock, hip-hop, electronic and acoustic material — provided stems are named sensibly and sample rates match.

Only a stereo rough with no tracks? Hourly mixing may suit better than per-track pricing; we will say honestly if re-recording is smarter. Mastering is a separate step via mastering; we print mixes with headroom for that stage.

What to deliver

Send all tracks as WAV, 24 bit, one sample rate per project. Export without bus limiting; no MP3 stems unless source material exists only that way — we note limitations in the quote. Add a text file with tempo, key, track list and references (links or filenames).

Comped or separate vocals? Both work; say which takes lead. MIDI for virtual instruments only when you include renders or an agreed project file. More file hygiene detail sits in the budget guide and guides hub.

Process and communication

After import we build a session with colour coding and bus layout documented per project. The first mix balances levels, EQ, dynamics, panning, sends and space; we avoid heavy limiting so mastering keeps room. Feedback works best bundled per revision round — bullet points with timecodes beat scattered messages.

Remote listening uses sent references; in-person sessions in Oud-West are welcome by appointment within Mon–Fri 10–22 · Sat 11–18. Saskia coordinates scheduling; Lars mixes or delegates within the team. Urgent questions: 020 261 4873 or [email protected].

Revisions and limits

Each track or hourly block includes 2 revision rounds after the first mix. One round bundles your notes; we implement them in one pass. A new creative direction (different reference, extra stems) counts as additional work and is quoted upfront.

We do not mix anonymous content with unclear rights. Stems with unlicensed samples or beats without clearance are declined; see disclaimer and terms and conditions.

Turnaround

Typical turnaround for one song is five to ten business days after complete delivery, depending on queue and complexity. EPs and albums get a project calendar; rush fees only when capacity allows — ask via contact.

If import fails due to client-side errors, the clock pauses until stems are valid. Intake replies within 2 business days.

Rates

Prices include 21% VAT. Business clients with a valid VAT ID may pay on invoice within 14 days.

Net amounts for B2B invoicing: ask for €185.95 per track or the equivalent for hourly/EP work. 30% deposit on confirmation; free cancellation up to 7 days ahead.

Not included

Mastering, tuning beyond light touch-ups, arranging new instruments, heavy editing of poor recordings, forensic repair on damaged files, and multilingual versions without extra agreement sit outside standard mixing. Mastering can still be booked in one pipeline.

DAW training, plugin purchases or waiting time after three reminders about your feedback are handled separately. Privacy: privacy policy; site cookies: cookie policy.
