The goal of mixing is to bring out the best in your multi-track recording by adjusting levels, panning, and time-based effects (chorus, reverb, delay). The aim is to sculpt your arrangement to make sense of all your tracks in relation to each other.

A multitrack recording is anything with more than one individual track (also referred to as stems). There’s no right or wrong number of tracks. You just can’t have zero. The final output of a multitrack recording is also known as the mixdown. The mixdown is the final step before mastering.

It doesn’t matter if you’re recording tracks with microphones and pre-amps, or using pre-recorded samples, learning how to mix for yourself is insanely important. Taking control of your artistic and creative vision will take your music to the next level. It’ll make you a better producer.

Start with these basic tips. They’ll get your mix as far as it can go before you seek more specific resources.

Audio Mixing Prices

Here you will find the cost of our audio mixing packages. The price is for a full mixdown and includes mastering, which normally costs £25 per song.

We use a simple sliding price scale; the more channels of audio you need mixed, the higher the cost. This is to reflect the engineers time because tracks with a lot of audio stems naturally take a lot longer to mixdown.
