What sort of files do you need for mixing?

To get the best results I´ll require minimum 24 bit and 44KHz WAV or AIF stems for mixing. When exporting your files for mastering MAKE SURE you are not using any signal processing plugins on the master bus such as compressor/limiter/maximizer. Make sure your songs have “headroom”, somewhere around -6db or below.

I´ll require minimum 24 bit and 44KHz WAV or AIF steroe files for mastering, with headroom, no louder than -6dBFS. These files are created once you have mixed down your music. Compressed (lossy compressed) files are not accepted. These include files such as MP3s, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, WMA, m4a.

I want my song to sound like....xyz. Can you make that happen?

If you have any preferences for sound or style thats great, just let me know what you´re looking for and send me some reference track that sounds somewhat similar. That will help me and i´ll approach the mixing process with that in mind. I will be very frank with you and let you know if I think your mix needs additional work before moving forward, just to make sure we get the best end results.
