Mixing
How to prepare your tracks for mixing:
- if you know it, write down the tempo of the song (e.g. 96 BPM)
- clean up, edit and fade all audio clips in your session
- if you have one, export the latest mix or a rough mix of the track for reference
- export all tracks that should be mixed in 24 or 32 Bit format from the same starting point (ideally from 1 bar before the first beat of the song)
- export the tracks
- name your tracks (e.g. "BD, SN, Bass, Synth, Piano, LeadVocal, DoubleVocal, VocalHarmony, Strings, etc.)
- send the files via wetransfer.com or a similar service of your choice to:
mail@kevmix.com

mastering
HOW TO PREPARE YOUR SONGS FOR MASTERING
- export your final mix of the song without any of the following processing:

- any sort of mastering compression or mastering equalization - if a mixbuss-compressor was used during the mix of the song leave it on
- export your song with a few seconds of silence before and after the start/end
- make shure that your song is not clipping during export (leave enough headroom)
- export your song with 32 or 24 Bit
- name the file (e.g. "Artist - Song Title - Final Mix - 24 Bit - 44.1kHz)
- send the files via wetransfer.com or a similar service of your choice to:
mail@kevmix.com
Accepted File Formats:
