How a session runs.

Let's keep it simple. Here's exactly what to send, what comes back, and when.

The sequence

01

You send the files

WAV stems at 24-bit, same start point, faders at unity, no limiter on the master bus. Print effects you consider part of the sound; leave off anything you're unsure about. One reference track is essential for me to understand your vision.

02

First pass, three working days

You get a mix plus a short note on what I changed and why. Listen on your worst speaker first.

03

Revisions, then delivery

Two rounds included, timestamped notes welcome. Delivery covers every format the release needs: streaming master, club cut, instrumental and clean versions.

Questions that come up

Should I leave my master bus chain on?

Send both - one bounce with your chain, one without. Your chain tells me what you were going for, and I can usually get there with more headroom to work in.

Mixing and mastering together, or separately?

Together is cheaper and faster, and I'll flag it if a track would be better served by fresh ears on the master. If someone else mixed it, I'm happy to only master.

Can you match a reference exactly?

I can get the tone, weight and balance close. I can't make different arrangements and different performances sound identical, and you wouldn't want me to.

What about revisions after approval?

Files stay archived, so small recalls later are quick. A structural change is a new mix, and I'll say so before starting rather than after.
