For MIXING:
When submitting your files, please provide me with comprehensive mix notes in regards to the production details, mixing effects, and reference songs. I accept WAV files at either 44.1kHz, 48kHz, or 96KHz, ensuring all tracks begin exported from bar one, are of the same length, format and sample rate. In addition, please disable the ‘NORMALISE’ option for export if available in your DAW. Tracks can be submitted in either mono or stereo.
I kindly request that you provide the multi-track files in a dry state, free from effects like reverbs or delays as well as EQs and compressors. However, if you believe that any specific effects, processing, or creative elements (such as filter sweeps or delays) are integral to the sound, please ensure to include clearly labeled ‘Dry’ and ‘Wet’ versions of your track upon project submission. For vocal tracks tuned with MELODYNE or AUTOTUNE, please have the pitch correction processing printed into the vocal tracks, and feel free to share both “Raw” and “Tuned” versions. In the case you have MIDI or Virtual Instruments in your session, please export them as audio files, as I do not accept MIDI files for mixing, unless you make an explicit reques to replace certain virtual instruments, which would incur additional production charges.
For MASTERING:
For stereo mastering I would kindly ask you to deliver the following files:
– Full Mix (32bit or 24bit .WAV file)
If your song contains explicit content, please provide both Explicit and Clean version of the mix.
Optionally:
– Backing Track (32bit or 24bit .WAV file): in order to receive mastered backing track.
– Instrumental (32bit or 24bit .Wav file): in order to receive mastered instrumental.
For stem mastering I would kindly ask you to deliver 24bit .WAV stems tailored for your pfoject. The maximum true peak of any file must not exceed 0dB.
General:
As part of the submission process, I would kindly ask you to clearly labeled your files. Additionally, I would greatly appreciate avoiding the use of ALL-CAPS to ensure a more organised and professional presentation.
Your files should be in a folder which name contains:
– Artist name
– Song title
– Tempo of the song
– Date of upload
You will be able to review the mix and / or master as well as all subsequent revisions through a private link with an audio player that grants access to lossless, full-resolution WAV files. Following the acceptance of the final
mix and / or master, you will promptly receive a link to download all relevant files, as specified below.
For mixing service, you will receive the following mix versions:
– Full mix (24bit .WAV)
– Instrumental (24bit .WAV)
– Backing track (24bit .WAV)
Please be aware that mixed stems will not be provided for assembling the mix from. The intricate use of shared effects, shared parallel compression, and complex analogue mix bus processing makes it impractical to recreate the exact mix from individually exported stems. Should your song contain any explicit lyrics, the additional non-explicit version of the mix will be provided to you without any additional charges (please make sure to provide me with a “clean” vocal tracks). If you require any other additional mix version beyond the package I deliver, additional charges will apply as per https://eotpmusic.com/services/
For mastering, or mixing + mastering service, you will receive master files tailored for:
– Streaming (48kHz 24bit .WAV) at -0.1dBFS
– Radio / TV (48kHz 16bit .WAV) at -1dBFS
– YouTube Music Video (48kHz 16bit .WAV) at -2dBFS
– CD (44.1kHz 16bit .WAV) at -0.1dBFS

For pricing, please refer to www.eotpmusic.com/services/. Once I assess your files, depending on the service you hire me for, you will receive an invoice. For mixing / mastering services, like in all professional studios providing online services, there is a “Payment First” policy. This is not a personal matter but simply a result of years of experience in managing payments and invoices. For production services 1st half of the fee must be paid upfront and the 2nd half after the production is finished but before file delivery. For studio engineering, payment must be made after the session but before file delivery. In case of requesting work in an external studio, a booking fee is applicable, and will be deducted from the engineering fee after the session. Please note that payment is accepted exclusively via Direct Bank Transfer.
Mixing and / or Mastering:
– Refunds are not applicable once the 1st version of a mix and / or master had been done.
Music Production:
– Refunds are not applicable once any work had been commenced.
Studio Engineering:
– Refunds are not applicable for sessions that were completed, nor for ongoing sessions.
– For cancelled sessions the
booking fee will not be refundable.
You accept the responsibility for storage and archiving of all mixes, masters & any other files as well as the source materials once a project has been approved and files have been delivered. I will endeavour to store backup of all sessions, final mixes and masters, but I do not provide a guaranteed archival service
