Mixing is the process of manipulating the song on a track-by-track basis. Setting levels, EQ’ing, and compressing instruments and groups of instruments to create a two-channel (stereo left and right) mix of your song.
Mastering is the manipulation of that two-channel stereo mix, putting the finishing touches on it to make it as “presentable” as possible. Mastering also includes ordering, spacing, and prepping a track for its final delivery format.

After mixing, you will receive:
• The final mix with master processing.
• The final mix without master processing (for subsequent mastering).
• Backing track without main vocals.
• Backing track without all vocals (if applicable).
• Stems per instrument bus (Drums Bus, Backs Bus, etc).
After mastering, you will receive:
• The final master with the mostly acceptable loudness for the track.
• At Denis's discretion, we can send you an additional version with altered loudness.
• The final mix with master processing.

Turnaround times can vary depending on the project and current workload, but we typically have a finished mix within 1-2 weeks and a finished master within 3 days.
We accept files from any cloud storage.
For communication and revisions on the mix, we typically create a private group on the Telegram app to which you will be invited. This facilitates easy communication with Denis and his assistant in a single chat.
Additionally, we are always available for communication via email. Typically, we respond within one day.

• WAV files of 24 bits in the original resolution will be required. For example, if you recorded at 44.1 kHz, please send it in 44.1 kHz; there is no need to artificially convert them to 96 kHz.
• Typically, Denis starts working from where you left off, meaning there is no need to specifically revert to the original sounds. If such a need arises, we will definitely request it.
• The files should have a common start. By importing them into the sequencer, they will play together, creating your beautiful music.
• Additionally, indicate the tempo and key in the folder name.
• It's always beneficial if you articulate your thoughts, expectations, and wishes in a separate text file.
• At your discretion, you can specify one or several reference tracks, describing what you specifically like about them. For instance, 'The snare sounds great' or 'Very close and warm vocals,' etc.

• Assuming you're working with a DAW, simply export your stereo mix at the sample rate of your session and the highest bit depth your DAW will allow (WAV file, 32-bit floating point, is preferable).
• Mixes should have at least 3 db of headroom before clipping and any loudness processing (L2, L2007, T-Racks, Ozone, etc.) should be removed from the master bus.
• It would also be helpful to have a version of your mix with a limiter, making it easier for us to understand your reference.

Once we've received your files and verified they are ready to go, we'll send you an invoice via email. This invoice is generated via PayPal, but you do not need a PayPal account to pay. Any credit card will also work.
When you receive the initial mix, take some time to live with it. Listen to it several times from start to finish, think about what's new and interesting, and whether you want to make any changes. If there are revisions and requests, it's better to gather them from all participants in the process and send them together, indicating time codes/timings for the revisions whenever possible.
