RECORDING AND MIXING

What We Do

We want to help musicians at any point of their songwriting process.

If you're a band or solo songwriter who wants to take their tracks to the next level with some drums, bass and guitar or any other instruments you can think of on there, then have a chat with us about what direction you want your music to go in and how we can help get it there. We'll organise together if we need any extra gear, possible locations, and any extra musicians we'll need to get your work as great as it can be.

If you have everything written and planned out and want speedy, efficient tracking, editing, mixing and/or mastering, then get in touch, we'll sort it all out at very a competitive price

Just focus on playing your best and let us worry about how you sound! 

Having had experience with London jazz, rock, metal and pop bands, we have a good understanding of how to work with musicians while recording to suit their needs. 

There is an art to every aspect of being in the studio, and every aspect is carefully considered for musicians in our sessions. 

Having a good cue mix is vital so that musicians can hear precisely and only the instruments they need to have in their ears so they can do their job best. Mic placement and capturing the sound as best as possible from the source is also vital to maintain a healthy creative flow and stop us from getting bogged down too much in the mixing stage. 

The PROcess

The process of getting your songs from written to released is customisable, and we will listen to every artists needs. As standard, we will start with a free consultation about your style, what artists or styles you listen to and what sound you're going for and then have a discussion about how best to go about getting the sound that you have in your head. Also, an evaluation of the chosen space might be necessary, with our isolation techniques, isolating the sound is a lot easier and yields better results when we can plan the positioning of instruments and mics beforehand. 

This is followed by a personalised session plan which will be made and sent over to you for your approval. The session plan is made to make sure that while tracking in the studio your time is utilised as efficiently as possible so we can set up and tear down fast and focus on recording. 

The next stage is to book recording time where we will track each instrument (if multi-tracking) at least three times over to ensure the best quality takes are available. 

Then editing and mixing: depending on the complexity and number of the tracks (as discussed in the pre-track meeting) this could take between a day to a week for a completed mix. 

The tracks will be put into a shared google drive folder for review. Any changes or suggestions are always welcome, this is about getting the sound that you want so don't be hesitant. 

up to THREE FREE REVIEW VERSIONS will be made so you have peace of mind knowing things can be changed at no extra cost.

If any more changes are required last minute, an extra charge of £10 per hour will be added. (export and upload time not included so you're not at the mercy of my wifi)

Following the mix, the track will be mastered and bounced into your desired format. 

After the mix and mastering is complete they can be delivered in a format of your choice; WAV, MP3 or AAC are all available, and mastered to your chosen serice's standards (as standard it's streaming levels for Apple Music/Spotify.)
