Mixing
What is "Mixing?"
Mixing music is the process of blending all the elements of a song together to create a cohesive musical image. It’s like cooking your favorite dish, each sound is an ingredient, carefully chosen and seasoned to taste. The drums are your base, the bass brings the body, vocals add the spice, and effects are the garnish. It’s not just about volume. It’s about flavor, balance, and vibe.
How long does it take to mix a song?
Mixing a song can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. It really depends on the complexity of the track and the level of detail the artist wants. A simple, well-recorded song might take 2–4 hours, while a full arrangement with lots of layers and effects can take 8–12 hours or more.
Professional mixing isn’t just about levels, it’s about tone, emotion, space, and feel. The goal is to make every element shine while serving the song as a whole. Patience and perspective are key.
How do I send a mix?
In order to send a mix, you will have to bounce out the tracks into stems. Each DAW is slightly different, you can find links below that show you the process!
Mastering
What is "Mastering?"
Mastering started as a way to make all the songs on an album sound like they belong together, same vibe, same volume, smooth transitions. These days, it also makes sure your music is ready for the digital world. That means it’s loud enough, clear, and won’t distort when it hits streaming platforms like Spotify or Apple Music.
