Why do you charge per minute of original audio instead of per song?

I use this pricing model because your cost scales more accurately to the effort mixing or mastering than per-song pricing. For short projects, it saves you money. For longer projects, I can assure the same quality as a shorter one because we’re budgeting more time into the project.

Should I send you as few stems as possible?

In short, yes. But it depends on the project. For instance on a mixing project, if you have your drums balanced out exactly the way you want them to sound, you may want to send a stereo stem of your drums instead of individual mics or instruments.

I can help you with those decisions when we initially talk about your project and keep costs within your budget.

Do you do analog mixing and mastering, or only digital?

My standard pricing is for digital mixing. If you’re interested in an analog mix, let me know and we can talk specifically about what I have to offer.
