How It Works

Pick how you want to work

Three ways to mix and master at MIX. In-studio, you sit with your engineer and pay by the hour: $79 with an Advanced engineer, $89 with an Elite engineer, and $109 with a Signature engineer. Online, you send stems and pay a fixed price per mix. Dolby Atmos is a fixed price per song.

Book the studio or start online

Reserve an in-studio session and build the mix in the room with your engineer at the hourly rate, or upload your stems to the online portal for fixed per-mix pricing. Adding a mix and master to a recording block is easy too.

Mix, then master

Your engineer builds the mix, shares it for notes, and dials in revisions. Once the mix is signed off, mastering sets the final level and tone for release.
