Have you recorded your music, and are now in need of a Professional Mixing Engineer? The Lab can provide the experience that your music needs prior to Mastering. It takes a great mix to create an excellent master.
The process begins by forwarding your audio project with separated tracks (vocals, guitar, beat track, bass, etc..). Our preferred format to receive project files is WAV. Projects can also be sent as MP3 files.
When exporting please note that we prefer everything to be dry with no effects. The exception is if you have a special effect such as a long delay that you want included in an individual track. Once our Engineers receive the project, they will begin to mix the audio to a stereo track adding effects such as compression, EQ, delay and reverb to each instrument. Mixing can be very subjective; therefore The Lab provides 30 second samples of each song giving the artist(s) the opportunity to provide feedback. Any modifications that are requested will be reviewed and returned as a new sample. We will continue this process until the artist(s) are satisfied with the results.
Due to the time consumption of editing, prices do not include elimination of unwanted audio within tracks, such as pops, loud breathes, talking, instrument and vocal noises before and after takes, etc. Please clean up unwanted audio parts on tracks before sending. The cost for our engineers to edit these problems will be extra, depending on how many tracks and how much unwanted audio parts must be edited out. You will be notified if we find any noises that we feel need to be removed.
