What are audio mixing services?

Mixing is a very important part of releasing music. Mixing is a process by which multiple sounds (The Recording) are combined into one or more channels, polished, and enhanced. We recommend a minimum of four (4) hours to book a mixing session. The duration of time it takes to mix a song depends on the number of tracks in a session. Mixes can range from 4-6 hours or more to complete. Stereo 2 track mixes tend to take less time to mix simply because there are fewer tracks to mix. If you have all the tracked-out instrument files then the amour of hours needed to mix is usually a bit higher.

With audio mixing services, a talented engineer takes your track and mixes it to perfection. It’s a lot more complicated than just pushing up the faders! A professional mixing engineer will use their skills to make your music sound pristine, without losing any of the power that you intended during the recording process.

Using the right techniques, they’ll tighten the mix that will bring out the best of your song while still ensuring it cuts through in a crowded market and is distinctive and memorable.

What do audio mixing services actually do?

The process of mixing relies on sound manipulation by turning certain sounds up and down. This is the technical definition, but there’s a lot more to it than that. Mixing requires you to look at your music as a whole and ensure that every part works in harmony with the other parts. A great audio engineer can see how all of these elements work together.

Preparing your song for a Mix

Preparing your song for a mix will cut down your overall costs substantially. Here are some tips.

Organization for ProTools users– Organize your session files to minimize the decision-making our mix engineers need to make. We are a Protools-based studio so make sure that you are only sending us ProTools sessions. Before sending sessions please delete unused clips, rename files properly, and makes sure that your song is arranged and organized to your liking.

An organization using other Daw’s– The best way to transfer files to us is to consolidate every track in your session into one, solid .wav or .aiff file that starts at bar 1 and ends at the very end of your song. If done correctly, every audio file will line up at the start when our mix engineers import the files into Protools. Hit the link below for instructions on how to export from other popular DAWs.

The Mixing Services Process

Leveling-Leveling is the process of balancing the volume of audio on each individual track. This is the most common starting point and foundation to a great mix. Leveling is simple in its concept but requires skilled engineers to view a song in its entirety and make the best leveling decisions for a mix.

Enhancing-Enhancing is the process in which an engineer polishes the vocal or instrument of each track. Boosting eq, surgical eq, compression, and many other tools can surely bring out the glitter and shine that consumers desire from commercial releases.

Arrangement-The art of arrangement is the flow of a song from start to finish. It has sections: like an intro, verse, buildup, chorus, breakdown, drop, outro, and more. During the arrangement process, a mix engineer can arrange vocals or instruments to convey the desired emotion in a song.

Special Dimension-Spacial dimension is the process by which an engineer focuses on creating space by panning and modulating the vocals or instruments on each track. Creating space can open a song sonically allowing for a more balanced mix.

Effects Processing-Adding effects to a mix will surely give the song its final touches reverb, delays, and other tools help to shape the mix by creating an atmosphere for the song to exist in. Many great songs are defined by the effects used during mixing.
