Cost - The amount of time required to create a great mix of a song varies greatly depending on a number of factors such as track count/complexity, where/how it was recorded, and what you want from the mix. Naturally, the cost too will be affected by these parameters, as well as others such as timeframe, (how soon do you need it done) and whether or not you want to attend the session. Once all the details are figured out, I’ll be able to give you an exact quote before doing any work, but if you want a ballpark range, getting a single song mixed might run you about $300 - $350.

Alternate Mixes - Instrumental, a Cappella (voice only) or TV (no lead vocal) -mixes are included if you want them. Vocal, bass or guitar solo up/down mixes too - as long as there aren’t too many versions and we make them AFTER the main mix is completed and approved by everyone involved. The reason for this is that it becomes complicated and time consuming to make additional adjustments to multiple versions of a mix. I can still do it, but there would be a charge.

Platform - I use Apple’s Logic Pro 9 to mix. If you insist, I can also use Protools, but I definitely prefer Logic.

Format - I accept all Logic Sessions (naturally) as well as individual PCM files (Wav or AIFF) of every track, as long as they all start from the beginning of the song. Regardless of the DAW used for recording, your recording engineer should be able to export the tracks that way. Using my MBox and Protools LE, I can also open any Protools Sessions for transfer to Logic. You can send or give me the files on CD, DVD, USB Memory Stick or a Hard Drive. If it’s a smaller project (less than 500MB) and you are familiar with the process, I have an FTP Server to which you may upload a compressed archive of your session files.

Why Logic, and not Protools or some other DAW? - For a detailed answer, please refer to my Audio Philosophy page, but basically, Logic is a great piece of software that I happen to know really well. There are certainly other viable options, such as Protools, that I use from time to time for tracking at other studios in addition to the transfers mentioned below, but ultimately, for me it’s about using the tools that I feel the most comfortable with. That way, I can focus completely on making your music sound as good as it possibly can.
