STARTING THE PROCESS

How can I get a free consultation or book you as a mix engineer?

 

You can contact me directly through the contact me section at the bottom of my websites homepage, or alternatively you can get in touch via my email @ thomashazelmusic@gmail.com. 

​

 

Before we start a mix, what would you (the mixing engineer) need from me (the artist)? 

 

I ask clients to first of all give me some background to their projects, I'm very keen to understand the person I am working with. I also would kindly ask artists to provide me with reference tracks, rough mixes or any directions they may have for their project. This ensures we begin with a clear destination in mind. I believe it is important to maintain an open dialogue: this guarantees that I am able to shape your song sonically to exactly how you hear it. I am happy to receive multitracks or printed stems, from which I will be able to build your song.

​

 

THE MIX

​

Can we mix in person?

 

It is always beneficial to work with my clients in person where possible and am more than happy to provide this service. I do like to do some preliminary work before I invite the artist to work in person though, this ensures a lot of the "dogs body" work is done before the artist arrives and means your time with me will be better spent on actual mixing instead of leveling/timing performances etc etc.

​

What if I am unable to make it to your studio?

​

If you are unable to attend a session in person, I have the facility to stream mixing sessions online through the Audio Movers app. I simply need to send a link to you, and you will be able to see and hear your project in real time as we mix. 

​

What gear do you use?

​

Ofcourse at the end of the day it's how its the results that matter. But I am lucky enough to work in a hybrid fashion, taking the best from both the analogue and digital realms.

​

​

REVISIONS

 

What is your revision policy?

​

I do my initial mixing using reference tracks, and direct instructions from my clients. The first mix I send to a client will always be a mix that I am personally happy to release to radio/streaming. As is often the case, my clients may request some amendments to the mix that I send them.  I allow my clients to have 3 sets of revisions after a week of receiving the initial mix. For any further amendments past this point I reserve the right to charge per hour for my time. 

​

How will you organise mix revisions?

​

 I will email you the mix and from there we will book a telephone/skype appointment to discuss any revisions/comments you may have until you are happy with the mix.

​

MASTERING

 

I offer a mastered version of any track I have mixed on for an additional fee - please enquire about this if interested.

 

 

DELIVERY OF PROJECT

 

Upon completion of the song, how are files sent?

 

I am able to send a finished mix/master in any format requested. Generally this will be  WAV format. This will be sent via email to the provided email.

​

 

PAYMENT

 

How is payment made?

 

I take half of the quoted fee up front and the second half before delivery of the final mixes/masters. I accept direct bank transfer or alternatively if you prefer I take Paypal payments.
