What is online mixing?
Online mixing is a series of processes to glue individual tracks together which makes your song sound as a whole.
Traditional tasks during online mixing are usually the following: setting the levels for individual tracks, defining the stereo space to give each instrument its own place, applying effects processing like reverbs, delays, modulation effects etc., shaping the frequency spectrum and dynamics of the tracks and subgroups with equalizers and compressors, checking the stereo mix on multiple playback systems to ensure that it translates well.
There are also lots of magic in mixing to add power, warmth, clarity, depth and dimension to your music to make it sound alive.
Will my recordings sound pro after online mixing?
It highly depends on the quality of your recordings. But most of the time yes.
Online mixing is very successful on home recordings if you recorded your tracks with a high quality digital audio interface in high resolution wave format, you used quality instruments, microphones, preamps and effects, you haven't applied additional processing like equalization and compression and also avoided using reverb and delay effects.

How is your online mixing service different from other studios'?
Like most mixing engineers I have my own sound which my clients love. I tend to mix with a retro flavour which results in a clean, wide, warm and dynamic sound. In the same time I follow current mixing trends to make sure your music will sound up to date and competitive.
Is the mastering session included in your online mixing service?
Yes! The full session includes the online mixing and mastering service for no extra cost. Click here to find out more about prices.
How can I send you my tracks for online mixing?
The most convenient option is using Dropbox. You can also ask for a unique FTP access on the Sound 29 server.
Technicalities: save every instrument in a separate wave file, switch off all EQ, compressor, reverb and delay processors. If you're before recording or you export virtual instrument tracks use 48kHz 24bit wave format. If you have everything recorded do not convert your files!
