The Valve Option means that we will mix your track through our premium mastering chain, which includes the classic Thermionic Culture Fat Bustard Mark II tube summing mixer, the Phoenix Mastering compressor, as well as our Shadow Hills Mastering compressor. This enhances the sound of your mix, making it warmer, punchier, and imbued with even more character.

When you select the “Tape Option,” we'll use real tape on selected parts of the arrangement where we think it’s most appropriate or on the entire mix altogether, in line with the style of your music. This imparts a silky quality to the top end of your mix while infusing a tasteful touch of 'old-school' warmth and character.

This option is for those who wish for us to manually refine their vocals in terms of pitch and timing. We utilize software such as Autotune and VariAudio to meticulously enhance the intonation, rendering the performance more assertive and precise. The degree of refinement can be tailored to your preferences, ranging from subtle adjustments to more pronounced alterations, as we demonstrate in the video above.

This is if you want us to adjust the timing of your instruments. If, for example, your drums are a bit off, with this option, we'll manually fix that. We'll also sample reinforce your Kick, Snare, Toms, and Hi-Hat if necessary to make the sound of your drums even bigger.

We proudly serve as officially recognized Apple Digital Masters providers. With this option, you will receive an additional master version crafted to comply with the rules established by Apple for seamless compatibility with their platform.

With the Multi-Track Option we print all the individual channels to include all the processing and treatment we used for the mix, track by track. This means you will be able to import the treated audio back into any DAW and reconstruct the entire mix for yourself. As a result you will be able to tweak, change or remaster the mix however you prefer.

Select this option if you are in a hurry. For Remix & Production we’ll deliver your first audition file within 5 business days of receiving your material instead of the normal 10-15 business days. Revisions will also be processed more quickly.

This option gives you 2 arrangement revisions instead of the normal 1 arrangement revision, and unlimited mix revisions within a month period (since the first audition file has been delivered) instead of the normal 2 mix revisions.
