Is this right for me?
If the takes are picked and the song is finished, yes. If they aren’t, I’ll tell you that instead of taking your money. And if you want to learn how it was done as much as you want it done, Mixing Discipleship is the better fit. I’d rather point you there than sell you this.

How does payment work?
To book$500 books your date.Before your filesThe other $500 is due when you love the mix, before the final files are released. You hear every mix on your private page first.Pay in fullAnd you get priority scheduling.Producers$850 a song when you bring three or more.A recordAn album or label project? Tell me how many songs and where they are, and I’ll send a number the same day.
What if it comes back wrong?
The first song carries unlimited rounds. Every new project, and the first time we work together, song one keeps going until it’s right. I carry that risk rather than you, because song one sets the sound everything after it follows. After that it’s three rounds on every song, run through MIXNotes, so your notes land on the timeline at the second they belong to instead of in a paragraph I have to decode. Your copy comes with the mix. Need more rounds? $150 each, and I’ll tell you before we get there.
How long does it take?
You get a locked delivery date before you pay a cent, and I hit it. Need it by a certain day? Put it in the form and I’ll tell you straight whether I can make it.
What do you need from me?
Your multitracks, with the takes comped. Not stems, the actual session files. If you’re not certain what that means for your setup, say so and I’ll walk you through it.
Is vocal tuning included?
If you’ve got some missed notes, I’ve got you. Light tuning that serves the song is part of mixing, and it’s always good to have another set of ears on it. Heavy tuning and repair is different: that’s hours of specialist work, and a dedicated tuning editor at a lower rate is often the sensible route. Want it all under one roof instead? $299 for the full lead vocal treatment, or $499 for every vocal on the song: leads, backgrounds, pitch and timing, the whole thing. Named before you pay, never a surprise after.
What if mixing isn’t what my song needs?
Then I’ll tell you. Plenty of what sounds like a mixing problem is really a production or recording problem, and you deserve to hear that from me rather than pay to find out. Mixing is collaborative anyway: what’s in the production, what you’re happy with, what you’re still not settled on. That conversation is part of the work, not something we have after it.
What happens to my files afterwards?
Everything lands on your private delivery page. After delivery, your session, stems and prints are archived in the cloud, so a recall or a new version next year is never a crisis. Keep your own copy too; I’ll still have one.
Have you mixed my genre?
Probably. I grew up on every genre and I’ve mixed most of them at a high level: gospel, worship and CCM, pop and hip-hop, rock and heavy rock, jazz, folk, indie, singer-songwriter, reggae, ska, hardcore, emo, orchestras and a cappella. If I haven’t mixed yours, I’ll tell you straight. Send a reference and let’s get the sound you hear in your head.

What are producer notes?
A short written note with every song: the production, editing and recording things I noticed while mixing it. Use it or don’t. It’s the stuff that makes your next record start better.
