Frequently asked questions

Not at all. Many of our clients have never set foot in a studio before. We guide you through the whole process — from mic placement to the final master. Just bring your songs and we'll take care of the rest.

A single track typically takes 4–8 hours depending on the number of instruments and takes. We'll always give you an honest time estimate before you book so there are no surprises on the day.

You get 3 mix revisions with every mixing package. That gives you room to fine-tune the track and get it sounding right. We also ask for a rough mix first so we can check your stems and make sure everything is ready before we start.

Mastering is included in the mixing and mastering packages only.

Your stems can be uploaded safely and securely via our upload form upon request. Bypass any compression / limiting you may have on your master bus. We advise leaving all sound design processing active on each stem. Do not normalize stems or change their volume. Playback of your stems should be exactly as your rough mix plays back.
