When do I pay?
Half before I start working, the other half before the final delivery.
If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.
Do you charge for revisions?
No. I’m not happy until you’re happy.
Within reason, of course.
How long will it take?
I pride myself on working pretty fast, but it varies depending on how packed my schedule is. Usual turnaround for mixing is ten business days or less. Same for mastering.
I spend part of the year on the road, where I’m not able to produce using all my instruments. Contact me ahead of time and find out when we can book you in so that you have everything you need for your release.
Do you work in person or remotely?
Both, love! Mixing and mastering are done fully remotely.
And while production can also be done that way, I’m happy to travel to wherever you are to produce your record. Nothing compares to being in the room and making music together.
I’m based in Western Europe, ask me for a travel quote!
Why wouldn’t this be a fit?
Looking for beats, toplines and heavy autotune? Keep looking, there’s nothing for you here.
I play everything I record. I don’t do loops. I rarely touch samples. I’m not saying it’s better than the next guy. That’s just the way I like to make music. Perfection is overrated. Emotion is what I’m after.
Do you work under NDA?
Of course. I’m happy to sign an NDA if needed.
How should I prepare my files for mixing?
- Please only send AIFF or WAV files.
- Use the original resolution you recorded in.
- All files must have the exact same starting point.
- Make sure there’s no clipping.
- Write down the song title, bpm, key and sample rate.
- Name each file clearly and briefly (ex: Kick In, Kick Out, Sn, Sn Bot, Gtr1, Ld Vox…)
- Remove all effects unless they are part of a sound you created.
- Provide a reference demo / rough mix. It helps me understand what you’re going for and double check sync issues if needed.
How should I prepare my files for mastering?
- Export a stereo file of your mix in AIFF or WAV.
- Use at least 24 bit depth, and whatever sample rate you used in your session.
- If you have a final limiter on your master bus, please remove it.
- Make sure the mix is not clipping / hitting 0 dBFS.
How do I send you my files?
Please no Google Drive or Dropbox. Use SwissTransfer or Smash.
How do we communicate?
I like to start with email and then schedule a Zoom call to chat about the project.
Once we’ve started, I use a dedicated audio platform. It handles the different versions of the songs and your feedback. Everything lives in one place and makes the process much easier.
With that being said, I’m always available through email or call if needed.
Should I include some references?
Yes, a couple is helpful.
Please also write down what you specifically like about said references. Ex: I love the bass sound in that song. The vocal tone is gorgeous is this other one, I’d like the same kind of delay.
