Notes
*Base prices are set with a simple 4 minutes song with 1 mains and 1 harmony tracks in mind. If the song is shorter, or if there are only 1 vocals track, the prices will be lower. Conversely, a longer/more complex song, or a cover with a lot of tracks will cost more than the listed base price. So... just ask me for a quote~**Full mix refers to mixing not just the vocals + instrumentals, but when the instrumentals are not yet mixed. Base price is for a 4 minute song with drums, bass, guitar, and piano. The price can depend on the genre, number of instruments, and generally how much work will be required.***For instrumentals commission, depending on the song, I can accept to do an arrangement, and/or to mimic the original instrumentation faithfully. I can play most instruments, but the only one where I can record the audio directy is electric guitars. Every other instruments will be recorded using midi, and played through a VST instrument. You'll still need to ask me for a quote, but here are the estimates of prices based on the types:
- Piano accompaniment ($60+)
- Drums and piano only ($80+)
- Drums + bass + piano + guitars ($110+)
- Very complex arrangement with tens of instruments and fx layers ($200+)
These prices estimates are with mixing included~

I made the instrumental (and mixed the instrumentals) and mastered the final file.

Raeya's cover for the song Adore by Kalafina
I made the instrumentals and mixed her amazing voice!
Raeya also asked me to add some piano runs and I'm glad she did! I'm proud of how the piano turned out! Even if it's mostly just in the back, it fills a very specific role in the mix.

FAQ
What's the difference between mix and master?
Mastering is the process after mixing, it's not gonna be adding much if any effects, and more just controlling the frequency response, dynamics, depth for the entire track. You can also treat it like having a second opinion.
For mixing a song with multiple vocalists, you will need to send me a separate track per vocalist, which I'll then balance, add reverb, etc.
But for mastering, even for multiple vocalists, you only ever need to send either 1 or 2 tracks. The mixed track (what your mixer gives you), or the instrumentals + the already mixed vocals stems (acapella).What's the best way to contact you?
Discord, I'm always active on it and I always check for new messages. Email and twitter also works, but I only check them once or twice a day, so it might take more time.What tools do you use for mixing?
For software, I use Reaper, melodyne for tuning and timing, as well as iZotope and fabfilter plugins for mixing and mastering.
Hardwarewise, I use focusrite 2i2 audio interface and a multitude of different headphones, from beyer dt770s audiotechnica m40x, and sennheiser hd280. Mostly the 770 for mixing, but I check the frequency response using the other headphones (and phone or car speakers) often.
