Mixing Prep Guide
HOW TO PREPARE YOUR SESSION FOR MIXING
How to Prepare Your Files
For mixing, send either your full recording session or a clean set of trackouts.
Full Session (Preferred)
Save a full copy including all audio files
Record at 32‑bit / 48 kHz WAV (Recommended)
Zip the entire session folder
Upload the ZIP through your link after checkout
Trackouts (If No Session)
Export all stems (vocals, adlibs, FX, instruments, drums, 808, etc.)
Keep any effects you want to preserve
Include beat trackouts when available
Export stems at 32‑bit / 48 kHz WAV
Zip and upload
Avoid
Missing files, unlabeled stems, clipped audio, or mixed sample rates.
When You Need Mixing
You’re ready for mixing when your recording is complete, your creative decisions are made, and you want your song to reach a competitive, major‑label standard. Mixing shapes the balance, space, energy, and emotion of the record — it’s the stage where your raw session becomes a finished piece of music.
MIXING — What Happens After You Submit
Once your files are uploaded, I inspect the session to confirm all data is present — vocals, stems, beat trackouts, and any processing you want to keep. If anything is missing, I reach out before starting.
When everything is ready, I begin the mix. As soon as I’m about 95% finished, I send you a private live link through our OctoGvng WireTap plugin so you can listen directly from the mixing session and give feedback in real time.
After final touches, I complete the analog master included with your mix.
Delivery
Main Master WAV
Clean Master WAV (when available)
Instrumental WAV
Acapella WAV
In‑the‑mix content piece (optional)
Revisions & Scope
Mixing includes Mastering and one revision to finalize the record.
If the creative direction changes — new beat, new recordings, added production, or any update to the source material — that becomes new scope, and a change‑order invoice will be sent. Once completed, the additional work is fully accommodated.
No work is refundable.
