What this includes:

• -6dB premaster at 24bit 48Khz
• Professional quality master at 16bit 48Khz (can do 24bit if requested)
• 2 Revisions

What I need from you:

• 24-bit 48Khz (or greater) audio of all audio channels
  • Make sure none of the channels are peaking above 0dB. Ideally, keep them below -6dB
• Full render of premixed track for my personal reference

What is mixing? 

Mixing is the art of balancing and optimizing the various tracks/channels in a recording so they can combine coherently and enjoyably into a mono, 2-channel, or surround sound mix. The purpose of the mix engineer is to make sure each element of the song has its own space in the mix and is heard the way it was intended to be.

This process primarily involves the following:

• Gain-staging
  • Balancing the relative levels of tracks
• EQ
  • Prevent sounds from clashing with each other
  • Get rid of unwanted frequencies
  • Accentuate wanted frequencies
• Panning
  • Enhance the spatial presence of a song
  • Give sounds physical space in the mix to prevent clashing
• Compression
  • Control the level of dynamic sounds
  • Accentuate transients
  • Glue together different tracks
  • Sidechain
  • Multiband compression to control certain dynamic frequency bands
• Bussing
  • Process a group of tracks together to create cohesiveness
