Mythos Amplified

It depends! I know the answer is cliché, but it really does.

Is it a full production? Will I be mixing and/or mastering? Do you only need certain instruments or vocals rerecorded? If the tracks were engineered by someone else, do they need to be comped, edited, tuned? Do you need post production added to the tracks? Do you need programmed drums? How involved do you want to be in tone crafting? If the recordings are not up to snuff, do I need to learn and re-record your parts? Do you need additional parts written for the song?

All of these things we need to discuss, and based on what I am doing, I will create a project rate tailored to you. Mutual respect is crucial. You want a great product that you can be psyched about, work with someone you feel comfortable with, all for a fair price. I want to be able to provide that for you, while being fairly compensated for my time and skill. The more we do, the more cost effective it is for your project!

If you still need something more concrete to ballpark: mixes (just mixing) start around $250, but will depend heavily on track count, song intricacy, and how good the source material is. The price will fluctuate the more I need to do. Editing, tuning, and additional production are all extra. That’s why developing a project rate is so crucial. Bundling services, working on multiple songs, and the like will get you a better deal.

Of course! File transfer is fast and simple, and whether you are recording from home or heading to a studio to get things engineered, we can work on preproduction to prep for final recording. You record via your preferred means (or I can record the parts), then I do all the necessary comping, editing, tuning, post production, mixing and mastering. We can even have attended sessions via Muse Sessions.

This all depends on the extent of what we are doing, schedules, availability, and the like. If it is just a mix, it can be turned around within two weeks. Rush is available for an additional fee.

For just mixes, three revisions before additional compensation. For productions, there is no limit.

Once we determine the scope of the project and the deliverables from both parties, you’ll send me the necessary documents, audio files, and references.

Of course. Almost exclusively.

I primarily work in the rock, metal, indie and post space. That being said, if you check my portfolio, I have worked with pop, rap, R&B, and singer-songwriters. Genre bending and blending become natural once you define the project.

Finding ways to incorporate elements of your interests (art, movies, TV shows, video games) helps make a project uniquely your own. Making synth sounds to replicate that one scene of a sci-fi B-movie, production elements from the sound of a video game environment, ambient textures to define the feeling of an abstract painting, or the emotional weight of a scene in an indie short film.

These are the things that make up the music I love.

Hell yeah! Go over to my portfolio: I did everything but vocals on Would You, vocals on Mirrors, and drum production on Frontin’.

I love writing and replicating different sounds from different genres, really digging into what makes a specific sound stand apart.

Glad you asked! Once you book a call, you’ll get a video synopsis of what we will discuss, and I provide you a link to a document you can fill out covering a lot of the questions I am going to ask.

You don’t need to fill out the document, but no one likes being put on the spot. Knowing what we are going to talk about before we get on the call helps you prepare and feel more comfortable.

Yes.

For mixing: I typically offer a test mix. If you don’t like the initial results, no money changes hands. If you are agreeable, we draw up a contract, make the necessary changes, you pay me, and I deliver your song.

For production: we pay in milestones (preproduction complete, all recording complete, mix delivered, and so on). This way is the most fair, because you don’t need to pay all at once and I get compensated for my efforts as the project continues. If you need to back out for any reason, you are only out the money up to that milestone. If you decide you want to take things to a different mixer, producer, or mastering engineer, I will provide the files, so long as you have paid up to that milestone.
