Mixing and mastering
Mixing and mastering for songs recorded by people
You did the hard part and recorded the song. Send us the parts and we mix and master them into a finished song you can release.
We work with the recordings you send: vocals, guitars, drums, keys. Nothing is replaced and nothing is generated. Songs made in Suno or Udio have their own page.
Already have a finished mix? We master it on its own for $150 per song.
$150 to $200 per song, quoted after we hear your stems.
Who it is for
You recorded it. We finish it.
This service is for songs made of parts recorded by people: a vocal, guitars, drums, keys, whatever you tracked at home or in a studio. We mix and master the recordings you send. We do not replace them or generate anything.
Home recordings
You tracked the song in a bedroom or a rehearsal room and the parts are there, but the rough mix does not sound like a record yet.
A vocal you hired yourself
You booked a singer for your song and now have a vocal take that needs to sit in the track like it was always there.
Parts from different places
Drums from one session, guitars from another, a vocal from a third. We bring them together into one finished song.
Not for AI files
Songs from Suno or Udio are a different job. See Suno mastering for the AI file itself, or AI song recreation to have it rebuilt by a human musician.
What to send
What we need from you
- Stems, not a stereo mix
- One WAV file per part, all exported from the same starting point so they line up. Leave effects you want to keep printed on, and tell us which ones they are.
- Your rough mix
- Even a quick balance shows us how you hear the song and which parts lead.
- A reference or two
- A released song whose sound you like. It gives us a shared target instead of guessing.
- How to send it
- Stems are usually too big for one upload, so a share link to a folder works best. Single files up to 100MB can be uploaded directly.
The work
What happens to your song
- The mix
- Every part balanced, cleaned up and placed, so the song holds together on headphones, car speakers and phones.
- The master
- The finished mix mastered for streaming, so it sits at a sensible level next to the other songs in a playlist.
- One round of revisions
- You listen to the mix and master, tell us what to change, and we adjust it before the final files.
- What you receive
- A mixed and mastered WAV, MP3 versions and an instrumental version.
- Your recordings stay yours
- You keep the rights in what you recorded, and any rights we hold in the mix and master are assigned to you in writing.
A part is holding the song back? If a recording will not get there in the mix, we tell you in the quote. A live player or a session singer can replace that part.
Already mixed?
Mastering only, for a finished mix
If your song is already mixed, we can master the finished mix on its own. Like the rest of this page, it is for songs made of parts recorded by people.

Questions
Questions about mixing and mastering
What should my stems look like?
One WAV per part, all starting at the same point and the same length, at the sample rate you recorded in. Name each file after the part, like lead vocal or rhythm guitar left.
Can you mix stems from Suno or Udio?
This service is for parts recorded by people. For a Suno or Udio song, a human engineer can master the file for $150 (Suno mastering), or a human musician can rebuild the whole song (AI song recreation).
My recording is not perfect. Will you fix it?
Mixing makes good recordings sound finished. It does not turn a weak take into a great one. If a part will hold the song back, we say so in the quote rather than after you have paid.
Do you add or replace parts?
Not as part of the mix. We work with what you recorded. If you want a part replaced or added, live players and a session singer are quoted separately.
Why a range of $150 to $200?
Every song is different, so we quote after hearing the stems. You know the exact price before we start.
Are revisions included?
Yes. Mixing and mastering includes one round of revisions. You listen, tell us what to change, and we adjust it before the final files.
Can you master a mix I already finished?
Yes, if it is a mix of parts recorded by people. Mastering only is $150 per song, paid in full upfront. Send the finished mix as a WAV. For a Suno or Udio song, see Suno mastering.
How do I pay?
Mixing and mastering is 50 percent upfront before work starts and the rest before the final files. Mastering only is paid in full upfront.
Who owns the finished song?
