What is the turn around time for a song to be mixed?

Depending on availability, a song can be mixed within 3-5 business days.

Is there a limit to the amount of stems I can give for mixing?

Nope. Bring on the stems! Please label everything appropriately.

Example: Floor tom, Rack tom, Rack tom snare, OH snare, OH tom. Room Snare Etc.

Do you charge for organizing the session?

If stems are delivered as “mix ready” there is no charge. If the song or songs need to be comped, edits between takes, overdubs, etc, an hourly rate will be applied. Organizing a session that is less than ideal could take 2-3 hours to get to a place where mixing can start.

How many mix versions can I make?

Two mix revisions per song after the first initial mix.

Are you flexible with rate?

I would rather have your music be heard. If needed we can always work on rate that allows your music to see the light of day. Feel free to ask.

How do your rates work?

My rates are determined on a case by case basis. Contact for a quote.

What do you do for fun?

Fun? What’s fun?! Kidding! I like to hang out in my backyard with my wife and dog. It’s super sunny back there and great for BBQ’s. You should come over one day!
