Online mixing studio services



A good mix brings life into your tracks and gets the listener involved in the soundfield. Mixing is not only about setting the appropriate track levels and applying effects processing, but also about giving depth, dimension and definition to your songs.

Making professional, standard quality mixes out of your songs that translate well on most playback systems is crucial. But mixing is much more than just technicalities. It is the art of creating a living atmosphere around a song, making a coherent, inseparable whole out of the individual building blocks.

You should always keep in mind that excelling in this job requires high quality source material. If your recorded tracks are so-so, the final mix may sound good, but not perfect. Simply because you take away the chance from the mixing engineer to use his skills and tools the way they're intended to. It's the same as with cooking: even the best chef would fail in making a majestic meal using cheap tinned food and wizened vegetables.

So whether you record your tracks in a professional environment or in your home studio, always take care of the sound quality. Use high quality instruments, converters, preamplifiers, microphones, cables etc. and apply the least possible or no audio processing at all, especially equalization, compression and reverberation.

How to prepare your tracks for online mixing


  • Make sure your songs are 100% finished before you send them for online mixing. Since altering tracks, song structure, rhythms and melodies after fine tuning a mix is a very time consuming task, the bill will be much higher in the end.
  • If you have the chance you should record (export) every track separately, regarding individual drum sounds and vocal lines too.
  • Your tracks should be in an uncompressed audio format (e.g. wave, aiff), recorded at 44.1 kHz 24 bit or better resolution.
  • If you recorded your tracks in other formats do not convert or resample them, unless you have top notch sample rate converters and you're fully aware of what you're doing.
  • Switch off all equalizers, compressors, limiters, expanders, gates, delay and reverb effects before recording or exporting a track. Where the applied effect or process is an organic part of the composition itself, you should send two versions: one with the effects/processes applied, and one without them.
  • Keep your eyes on track meters: none of them should go beyond -0.0 dBfs. 24 bit signals peaking between -10 and -3 dBfs are fine.
