I MIX
YOU DECIDE THE PRICE
Latest Mix
Friends?
By: Crystal Bozarth
Status: Unofficial Mix
Mixed: Oct 25th 2021
Genre: Pop
Friends was such a fun song to mix. I loved the production on it and Crystals voice and vocal performance is just smooth.
The session was a good size with over 40 tracks. What I like about sessions of this size is playing around with which sounds will be primary, which ones will be background and how will they interchange.
My 3 Goals With Every Mix
Feel &
Emotion
Think about your favorite song... The first thing you probably thought about is how it made you feel.
Music has always been described to me as the sound of emotion. As a mix engineer my job is to bring out that emotion.
Mono Compatibility
You actually listen to music in mono more often than you think. In restaurants, malls, even at concerts.
The simple fact is you want your music to sound good in every situation and so do I.
System Translation
Getting a mix to sound good on one system is easy. Getting a mix to sound equally good on all systems is a bigger challenge. Which is why I don't mix with just my speakers in mind but with all speakers in mind.
You Decide The Price
Pay what you think is fair... you get my best work either way
Why...
During my 20+ years of working in audio I've worked with big and small budget bands.
The one thing that doesn't change is the quality of my work and the pride I take in delivering a great mix.
So, I'm leaving it up to you to decide my payment.

FAQs
How long till I get my mix?
Mixes are currently done on a first come first serve basis. I'll send you an email to let you know that I have started. Give it up to a week from that point.
Can I add files after the mix has begun?
If I haven't started the mix and you want to swap out files please re-send your zipped files with the your corrected file lineup. No files will be added once mixing has begun.
Do you master your mix?
I can, however I prefer not to master my own mixes. Proper mastering is just as much of an art as mixing which is why there are dedicated mastering engineers. You also get a better result when the song gets mastered in a different room than it was mixed in and another set of ears.
What gear do you use?
Pro Tools, plugins, my ears and decades of experience.
