I can mix your electronic dance music multi-track recording into a stereo file. I mix music in styles I like and often listen to: Techno, House (Progressive, Organic, Minimal), Trance, Disco, Breakbeat, Drum'n'Bass, Hip-Hop, EDM. Music can be with or without vocals. I specialize on mixing densely arranged music with lots of competing parts sounding at the same time. It's challenging to make the result sound punchy, loud and powerful, but I can do it. I use volume, FX and other parameters automation as well as some complex mixing techniques to achieve a good sound that translates to various sound systems very well.
Before I start mixing, apart from the 'multi-track' with all the individual tracks (in .wav of .aiff format), I need some examples of the sound, I want to hear:
- your own rough mix;
- other commercially released music of the same style that you like the sound of.
You will get your mixed music composition in a .wav / .mp3 audio file with the parameters you need. I do not provide project files from my DAW. The quality of the sound of your mixed dance track will be high enough that you won't hesitate to send it to the record labels, to distribute it to streaming services or take it with you to the club on a 'thumb drive' and include it in your DJ mixes. If you like the sound of my own works and remixes I can make your music sound just as good.
I can give you a rough idea of the price for music mixing:
- 8 source audio tracks / stems, 3-6 minutes duration, no complications - from US$75;
- 12 source audio tracks, 3-6 minutes, some advanced mixing techniques - around US$130;
- 20 source audio tracks, 3-8 minutes, advanced mixing techniques and tricks - around US$200.
What is usually meant by "mastering" - making sure that the tonal balance of the mix and its dynamics are good, the mix translates well to various sound reinforcement systems and bringing overall perceived loudness to the commercially acceptable "norm" of -14, -9 or -7 dB LUFS - comes out automatically during the mixing process and therefore is included in the price of the mixing (I don't see the point in making it louder, because it almost always sounds too distorted).
Mastering as a separate, final stage of audio refinement, which is performed by the experienced audio engineer who isn't biased to that particular piece of music (another pair of ears so to speak) will cost you from US$50.
