My goal is for you to be completely satisfied with the mix that I give to you!
You need to provide me with as much direction as you can, so that I have a clear view of how you want your mix to sound. Audio samples, or links to other similar songs that have the type of sound you are going for are always a big help!
I do NOT charge you for my time when discussing your project in detail or transferring files back and forth. That is all included in my very reasonable pricing.
You may have some processing and effects on your tracks that you used while recording or for your rough mix. Unless those are an integral part of the sound (such as distortion on a guitar), they need to be turned off! If you have tons of reverb, chorus, and/or delay, on all the tracks you send me, I can’t remove those types of effects, and will be extremely limited in what I can do for you.
Once I decide to take on your project, and we have discussed what you are going for in detail, you will upload the files to me via Dropbox or send them to me via some other file transfer service. I will then work on the first pass of the mix and then send you a high quality MP3 file to listen to. You take as much time as you need to listen, and then send me back a list of any changes you want. I’ll make those changes and send you a new MP3 to listen to. Again, you can take as much time as you need, and then send me back another list of changes. I’ll then make the second (and third, if needed) set of revisions and send you another MP3.
Once you sign off on the final mix, and pay the remaining balance, I will deliver the final 24 bit mix files (ready to send to mastering). If you also purchased mastering, I will also deliver the final masters in whatever format you need, as well as the un-mastered 24 bit mix files.

If you’re in the Cleveland/Akron area, the process is mostly like described above, but we can meet in person for the initial consultation, and then arrange another session together to work on final mix revisions together.
