You did your best to record, now I can do my best to make it sound even better!

If you want to get the "pro sound", just call me through the "contact button" for Mixing and Mastering services

The audio files that will be sent to me must be ready to mix - by exporting each individual track entirely from beginning to the end of the recording session - in the best quality available natively from the original recording project in ".WAV" format in 48kHz-24 bits or 96kHz-24 bits

If necessary, the material must be previously edited in time or tuned before sending me, these services are NOT included and neither covered by the listed plan
