Q: Do you accept files via dropbox, wetransfer, hightail etc?

Actually, I'd prefer another option. There's a super-easy uploader built into the Contact p(https://www.mixartist.com.au/contact)age of this website. If you use my uploader, files synchronise automatically to my studio computer. This means I spend less time managing files and more time mixing your songs. Here's a brief explanation, you'll see it couldn't be easier. https://youtu.be/fbLMZHl-4V4

Question 1

How do I prepare my music for mixing?

Accepted Answer

• Remove all temporary or unwanted clips.
 • Double-check all edits. Trim, fade, and crossfade until all tracks are free from audible edits and/or extraneous sounds.
 • Optional: Apply timing correction and pitch correction to your liking
 • Label each audio file descriptively, e.g. "Kick In", "Snare up", "Bass DI", "Main Vocal", "Low Harmony".
 • Export individual WAV-files as 32bit-float with no change in sample-rate
 • Zip all WAV files, and name the zip with:
    • the artist name,
    • the song title, 
    • BPM and key.
 • Use the "upload files" button on the contact page to upload your zip

Question 2

What about my plugins?

Accepted Answer

Keep only plugins that are essential to the sound, such as:​
-MIDI / Virtual Instruments
-Amp simulation (if you're happy with the tone)
-Pitch correction tools, such as AutoTune, Melodyne or ReVoice
 
Bypass all other Plug Ins, such as:
-EQs, Filters
-Compressors / Limiters
-Expanders, Gates
-Reverbs, Delays, Chorus, Phasers, etc.
​
If a special effect (e.g. a certain delay) is important to your sound, export both a wet and a dry version of that channel (add 'wet' and 'dry' to the filenames)
