Personally, I like to work with an artist face-to-face if possible but sometimes it's not possible. This doesn't mean that there can't be a creative relationship. I am happy to work remotely with you on the mixing of your project.
What You Get:
- Clear mixes - each instrument has a place
- Creative mixes - mixes that breath and have character
- Song relevant mixes - each song has a personality that's how I mix
- Genre relevant mixes - mixes that fit the genre
- Highest quality mix files ready for mastering

Getting Your Tracks Ready for Online Mixing
If you are interested in having me mix your project I have given a step by step process for you to follow to prepare your tracks for mixing:
1. Make sure all tracks are edited together on the one lane and all crossfades and fades are neat and tidy etc. absolutely no effects, EQ and compression on the tracks, raw as raw except for the comp'd* takes being neatly cross faded or faded so there is no pops or clicks.
2. Bounce down each track separately as a single wave or aiff file (not mp3 and 44.1K 16 bit minimum) starting from zero**. You can bounce stereo tracks (synths, drum overheads etc) if you want but I can do it in the final mix on the desk which often preserves some of that "X" factor of the track (digital summing can be a bit sucky on some systems).
3. Label all the tracks with sensible/obvious names. e.g. kick drum outside, kick drum inside, snare top, snare bottom, lead vocal etc.
4. ZIP all files for the one song into a folder for that song. Depending on your own internet connection upload speed and how many files in the song you may need to divide songs into a number of folders. If you are really struggling with uploading files you can mail a DVD with the raw files through to me. Contact me to get a mailing address.
5. Include a text file with any directions about the song files both technical and artistic e.g. "I really like the snare sound on Michael Jackson's "Thriller" can you please make the snare sound similar". I will take your direction into consideration and try my best to achieve the vision.
Let's Get Started
If you are interested in having me work on your project drop me an email via the contact form and we'll get the ball rolling. Shoot through any questions you might have and I'll do my best to answer those.
I look forward to hearing from you.

*comp'd - a composite of all the takes for that particular part. e.g. a lead vocal that has a mixture of 3 different takes spliced together as one take.
** If you're working in Logic 9 you can just send your project files through but make sure you clean up and optimise the audio files so there isn't a bunch or unused files. I use Gobbler as a pro audio file transfer system as well which makes it simple for downloading whole projects.
