How does this work?
For Mixing Projects
Sending Files:
Please do the following:
Bounce your song, and label it “SongName_DemoMix”
Export stems (every track as a separate audio file, time aligned) of your project to a new folder. You can find DAW specific instructions here. During this step, bypass all plugins. If you have a specific effect on one of your tracks that you like, feel free to include both versions of the track.
If needed, clearly label all audio files so that I can understand what they are.
Rename the folder to match the following example: “SongName_BPM”
“My Song_105bpm”Send the folder of time-aligned .wav files to travis@traviscarr.com via Dropbox, Google Drive, or WeTransfer. Please note the artist name in either the subject line, or in the message body.
What you will receive:
Once I have received your files and created a first mix, I will send you back that mix via Dropbox, which you can then review to decide if my overall vision is in line with yours. If you want to suggest edits, I will send up to three revisions until you are satisfied. All files will be sent as a .mp3 until the project is paid for. After that, you will receive the uncompressed .wav. If you require an additional file type, please inform me in the project details section of your application or a separate email.
Please note: I will do everything I possibly can to ensure that you are happy and proud of your work. I will happily correct any errors on my part. However, due to time constraints, requests for additional revisions may be subject to additional fees at my discretion, depending on the amount of work needed.
For Mastering Projects
Sending Files
Please do the following:
Turn off any limiters.
If needed, turn down the master fader enough to allow a minimum of -3db peak headroom.
Bounce your project in the session’s original sample rate and bit depth.
Format the file name to match the example (singles may omit track number):
”TrackNumber SongName”
”01 My Song”
What you will receive:
You will receive a single MP3 of your album/EP to check for sequencing and revisions. Once the project has been approved, you will receive a Dropbox link containing the following:
Individual hi-res files in the bit-depth/sample rate you provided
Individual CD quality files in 16-bit/44.1k
Individual high quality mp3s*
Compressed DDP for CD manufacturing*
The aforementioned single mp3 containing the entire album
*Singles will not contain these items, as they are unnecessary.
Please note: I will do everything I possibly can to ensure that you are happy and proud of your work. I will happily correct any errors on my part. However, due to time constraints, requests for additional revisions may be subject to additional fees at my discretion, depending on the amount of work needed.
