// REQUIREMENTS FOR MIXING SERVICES

Remove all effects and processing that is strictly NOT for sound design. If you are using an effect (EQ, Chorus, Compression, Saturation, etc) to achieve a certain sound (distortion, specific delay times, specific reverb tails, etc.), please do not remove it. Remove only the effects used specifically for the Mixing process.

If you send it to be mixed and remove an effect that was used to manipulate the sound you desire, it will NOT be in the final mix.

If you send a stem with reverb on it, it WILL be included in the final mix!

Send the appropriate amount of stems to be worked with. This means that if you have 3 different hats, you can send 3 separate hat stems. If all 3 hats are layered into 1 hat, you can send a single stem with all 3 layered as 1.

Please do not combine different instruments into different stems. Do not send Kick and bass together, or multiple percussive instruments together as one loop. If you do this, it will be more difficult to mix and will not result in the best possible final product!

If you have specific deadlines in place for our mixing services, please be sure to note them in the form. We do our best to accommodate all requests!

Important Note:

Mixing includes up to 60 stems per track.
Projects with 60-100 stems incur a $50 fee.
Projects with 100-150 stems incur a $100 fee.
Projects with 150+ stems will require a custom quote.

To reduce stems, you can consolidate layered sounds (hi-hats, percussion, synth stacks) into buses where feasible, but it’s not necessary.
