Single Release Package  

“Make one song sound like a real record.”  

You bring the mix. I turn it into a loud, clear, streaming-ready master that holds up next to the big names.

Stem Enhancement Package  

“When your mix is close, I finish the job.”

Your track is almost there, but needs that final professional polish. Send your grouped stereo stems, and I will personally tighten the low end, smooth out the top, and balance your vocals so your record translates perfectly on all playback systems.
  • Technical Limit: Scalable from 4 up to 8 stereo stems maximum.
  • Deliverables: High-resolution Streaming Master + 1–2 alternate passes (e.g., Instrumental/Acapella).
  • Consultation: A short, easy-to-read technical mix health checklist prior to mastering.

All-In, Quality Oversight Package

“From completed production to retail-ready release—managed end-to-end.”

Perfect for serious independent artists and labels who want elite quality control without the stress of managing the post-production pipeline. I take full creative oversight of your record, ensuring your project seamlessly bridges the gap between raw tracking and an Indie-label sonic footprint.

  • Revisions & Admin: 2 comprehensive refinement rounds managed directly with your creative team.
  • Investment: $450 per song (Album/EP discounts available: 10% off 3–5 songs / 20% off 6+ songs).
  • Note: Sessions requiring 7 to 8 stems will incur our standard modular upgrade fee of +$25 per extra stem. This tier requires pre-mixed stems; full multi-track mixing is a separate service option.
