A revision is adding to or changing something about a mix or master. For example, if you wanted the vocals turned up in a mix, that would be a revision.

Examples of Revisions

At 1:42, I’d like an echo on the main vocal where I say “blah”
The bass needs to be turned down for the whole mix.

Okay, so you’ve sent all your revisions you’d like for MIX 01 of your song. I’ll make the revision and then send you a new version of the mix called MIX 02. That’s 1 round of revisions. 

I usually include 3 rounds of revisions in the price for mixing and/or mastering a song. The rounds of revisions would work like this:

• MIX 01 - 1st Round
• MIX 02 - 2nd Round
• MIX 03 - 3rd Round

At the end of the 3rd round, I’ll make the revisions you’ve asked for and then send you MIX 04. If there are more revisions needed after that, I’d be happy to make them. It’ll just cost extra. 

What's included:

• Final master, instrumental, a cappella, and a show version
• pitch correction (if needed) & autotune
• 3 revisions

What's NOT included:

• Editing (?) - removing pops, clicks, lip smacks, correcting timing/performance problems
• Radio edits
• More revisions can be made but at an added cost

Revisions

• Revisions must be received within 7 days from when the latest mix was sent

A version of the finished song with a few changes. Usually, the main vocals are removed or turned down so that the artist can perform the song live without the original vocals getting in the way. 

Sometimes, a show version is longer or shorter than the original, depending on what the artist wants to accomplish in a live performance. 

WAV Files

These type of files give you the best possible sound. WAV is what you’d want to send to any streaming service (iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, etc) and is required if you’re having CDs made. 

The downside of WAV files is that they’re larger than MP3 files. 

MP3 Files

MP3 files are smaller in size than WAV files. They’ve been stripped of unnecessary information to make them smaller. You would not want to send MP3 files to streaming services or CD manufacturers.

The downside of MP3 files is they generally don’t sound as good as WAV files. 

DAW stands for "Digital Audio Workstation". It's the software we use to record, edit, and mix music. 

Popular DAWs you may have heard of: Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper,  Studio One, and...Adobe Audition.

Generally, radio edits or censored versions are used for radio and tv performance. If you plan to release your music to radio or tv, you’ll want to make sure there aren’t any “bad” words.

Can’t be scaring kids…or grandma

To make a radio edit, you’d send me a copy of your song’s lyrics and then I’ll go through the song, word by word, and remove any words that fall into the “bad” category. 

That means if your lyrics in your song’s hook are “f*ck…f*ck…f*ck”, the hook is going to sound pretty empty after I finished taking the “bad” words out…something to think about. 

Here's what you'll get once a song or album has been finished:

• MASTER.wav - Highest quality audio, best used for uploading to streaming services
• MASTER 44.1kHz 16bit.wav - High quality audio, required format for CD manufacturing
• MASTER.mp3 - Good quality audio, best for person use, sharing with friends
• INSTRUMENTAL.wav
• ACAPPELLA.wav
• SHOW VERSION.wav

When everything’s ready, I’ll send you a link to download all the files.  

Yes, I do. Once you approve the final master, I’ll send you the following:

• MASTER.wav - Highest quality audio, best used for uploading to streaming services
• MASTER 44.1kHz 16bit.wav - High quality audio, required format for CD manufacturing
• MASTER.mp3 - Good quality audio, best for person use, sharing with friends
• INSTRUMENTAL.wav
• ACAPPELLA.wav
• SHOW VERSION.wav

If you require a RADIO EDIT or CENSORED version of your song, I can do that for you too. It’ll just cost a little extra.

Headphone bleed is a pain in the ass. It’s where audio from your headphones is captured by your microphone while you’re performing. This is can be exaggerated when recording quite vocal sections. 

The reason it’s a problem is that, if the headphone bleed is loud enough, it can change the overall sound  of a mix. 

Let’s say you were recording vocals over a beat, and then later on you decided to cut the beat for one or two lines. If the headphone bleed is too loud, you’ll still hear a bit of the beat because your microphone picked up the beat from your headphones while you were recording. 

The Solution?

A lot of times headphone bleed occurs when the artist can’t hear themselves well enough, so they turn up their headphone volume. And, if the artist isn’t wearing good isolation headphones the result is headphone bleed. 

One solution is using better headphones with good isolation. 

Another solution is instead of only turning up the headphone volume, try turning down the beat first. Usually, that solves the issue of the artist not being able to hear themselves. 

At the end of the day, if you need your headphones loud, get isolating headphones, or deal with the headphone bleed.
