🎧 Frequently Asked Questions – Merrill Studios
What do I need to send you to start a mix?
You’ll need to send me your multitrack stems—ideally as consolidated WAV files, all starting at bar 1, with any time-based effects printed if you want to keep them. A rough mix or reference track is always helpful too. If you’re not sure how to export, I’m happy to walk you through it.
How much does mixing cost?
Pricing depends on the number of tracks and complexity of the project. That said, I always try to work within reasonable indie budgets. Just shoot me a message with your details and I’ll get you a quote that’s fair and transparent.
Do you offer mastering too?
Yes—I offer both mixing and mastering. For some projects, I recommend having a separate mastering engineer for a second set of ears, but I’m happy to handle both if you prefer a one-stop workflow.
What if I recorded in a home studio? Will that be a problem?
Not at all. I’ve mixed everything from pro-studio sessions to bedroom demos and love working with indie artists who are making it happen on their own terms. Good vibes > perfect takes.
What genres do you work with?
I work across a range of genres—rock, indie, pop, punk, hip hop, and even film scores and ambient projects. I’m also a lifelong songwriter and band guy, so I naturally lean into projects that are melody- and vibe-driven.
How long does a mix take?
Typically 2–5 business days, depending on the scope and my current schedule. Rush delivery is available if needed, and I always leave room for revisions to make sure you’re 100% happy.
Can I give feedback or ask for changes after the first mix?
Absolutely. Mixing is a collaboration—I usually include 2–3 rounds of revisions as part of the rate. Your input is always welcome, and I want you to love the final result.
Can you make my mix sound “analog”?
Definitely. My setup is a hybrid of digital precision and analog character, with real hardware like the Shadow Hills Equinox, 1178, DBX 160, and more. If you’re after warmth, glue, and that lived-in sound—I’ve got you covered.
