:::Why do I need you to mix the project, can't I mix the project in on my computer?:::

The answer is of course you are welcome to mix the project on your own, although if you will be presenting the music to other people for commercial purposes you might want to take many factors into consideration including your ears and experience, creativity, room treatment, proper knowledge of sound theory, and the availability of high quality tools available to you to get the job done right. Plus, you would be surprised at how refreshing it can be to have an outside ear work on your music. If you do decide to go this route, get in touch and I'll help point you in the right direction.

:::Can you make me sound like (fill in artist here)?:::

I encourage you to provide the name of a song and artist that capture the sound they are after on your own project. However, no one likes copycats, and the world will appreciate a uniqueness in your sound. I strive to find a nice middleground. Describing a unqiue combination of sounds such as "Britney Spears meets The Killers" can produce interesting results.

:::What styles of music can you mix?:::

The great thing about mixing is the variety of music I get to hear and work with on a daily basis. All styles of music can benefit from Virtual Mix Engineer from Pop, Rock, Dance, Jazz, Country, Hip-Hop etc.

:::Do you provide Auto-Tune?:::

Simply, yes! I also use other tuning programs such as Melodyne. You can choose to have an over the top effect such as T-Pain or Cher, or keep the tuning top secret and unnoticeable so that only you and I know the truth.

:::My recording quality is less than ideal, what can you do?:::

Sometimes audio magic can be accomplished easily, other times it can be tough. I am able to remove background noises, bad frequencies, and provide many other special touches that can make the source sound better, although it is often better to re-record any trouble sections to ensure the best end result. Mixing will bring your recording to its fullest potential; however, if its fullest potential is a composite of songwriting, arrangment, production, and recording.

:::Explain drum replacement:::

Sample triggering is the simple process of replacing (or just layering) drum sounds over the existing ones. This allows you to replace that $50 snare you recorded in your bedroom with a legendary snare recorded in great studio with the best gear. I have a large library of samples including Steven Slate and Bob Clearmountain.

:::Do you offer any discounts?:::

This online mixing service is made to be very affordable to independent artists. I do offer a discount of 15% for albums when you order 10 or more songs and run other promotions listed on the pricing page. My price is very reasonable and only in rare circumstances will I offer a discount such as if you have a very low track count. If you are still struggling, contact me and we will discuss your situation.

:::What is your typical turnaround time?:::

I generally mix in the order received. I may have the initial mix ready for you to listen to within a matter of days, or it may be longer (1-2 weeks). While working on albums or EPs we will keep revising previous mixes while continuing to work on new songs. If time is a matter of concern, please contact me and I will fill you in on how much time I estimate your project will take and when I will be able to accomodate you.
