Your attention to detail and deep understanding of the Afro/Melodic House sound made a huge difference. Professional, fast, and super easy to work with. Highly recommended if you're looking for a mastering engineer who truly gets the music.”

  • "I had a great experience working with Tom. He was very patient and understanding of the kind of sound and vision we were trying to portray within the song. He was able to provide a few different versions of the mixes for us to select from in order to achieve the best sound quality for the song. Great engineer to work with."

FAQ

    • Mixing is the process of balancing and blending individual tracks (vocals, instruments, effects) to create a polished, cohesive song. It involves adjusting levels, EQ, compression, reverb, and other effects.

    • Mastering is the final step, where the mixed track is optimized for loudness, clarity, and consistency across all playback systems (streaming platforms, speakers, headphones, etc.). It ensures your song sounds professional and competitive.

    • If you have individual instrument and vocal tracks that need balance and processing, you need mixing.

    • If you already have a finished mix and just need it enhanced for release, you need mastering.

    • If you're unsure, send me your track, and I can recommend what’s best for your project.

  • Export each track (vocals, instruments, drums, effects, etc.) as separate WAV in the highest quality (at least 24-bit, 44.1 kHz or higher).

    • Make sure all tracks start at the same timestamp so they align properly in the session.

    • Remove unnecessary effects (such as limiters or heavy compression) unless they are essential to the sound.

    • Label each file clearly (e.g., Lead Vocal.wav, Kick.wav, Guitar.wav).

    Please also organize the stems into folders before sending them. This helps speed up the session preparation and keeps everything structured.

    Use the following folder structure:

    • Percussions + Hats

    • Vocals

    • Melody(Guitars, Synths, Pianos, etc.)

    • Kick & Bass

    • FX

    Once everything is exported and sorted, place the folders into a ZIP file and upload it via SwissTransfer or Dropbox.

    • Export your final mix as a WAV or AIFF file at 24-bit or 32-bit, 44.1kHz or higher.

    • Remove any master bus limiters or compressors unless they are part of the creative sound.

    • Make sure your mix has headroom (the loudest peak should be around -6dB).

    • Avoid clipping or distortion.

    • Send reference tracks if you have a specific sound in mind.

    • Mixing: Typically 3-5 business days per song, depending on complexity.

    • Mastering: Usually 1-2 business days per song.

    • Rush orders may be available for an extra fee.
