Mixing
We balance recorded tracks into stereo mixes and stems you can master or release, with clear scope, revision limits and delivery formats spelled out upfront.
Mixing is post-production on our hybrid console workflow or with remote review. We work at 32 inputs worth of routing to set relationships between drums, bass, vocals and instruments before Mastering. We align with Mixing budget guide before quoting.
Tracks recorded during Voice recording here import cleanly. External ZIPs or cloud links are fine. Read Mixing budget guide before quoting so track counts and deadlines align.
How it works
Intake
Send track lists, tempo, key and references via Contact. We flag missing files and obvious noise issues.
Quote
Choose per song ¥22,000, hourly ¥11,000 or five-song ¥88,000 packages.
Mix pass
Bus structure, EQ, dynamics and spatial effects applied in stages; preview bounces when useful.
Revisions
Up to 2 consolidated feedback rounds, then final WAV stereo mix and stems.
What we mix
Singles, streaming EPs, live multitracks, demos upgraded for release—genre varies, approach varies. We do not paste the same drum chain on every song.
Reference takes from Rehearsal recording plus final Voice recording overdubs is a common combo. See All services for upstream/downstream steps.

Timeline
First mix delivery often lands within three to five business days per song unless the queue is full. EP packs at ¥88,000 can ship track-by-track or batched—decide when booking. Preview MP3s may be for convenience only; judge on final WAV.
Rush slots need availability plus surcharge. Deposit 30% before work starts per Terms and conditions.
Stems and loudness
Standard delivery is stereo mix plus optional drum/bass/vocal/other stem sets. Share platform loudness targets early. Final LUFS polish usually happens in Mastering. Terminology: Mastering formats and delivery.
Revision rules
2 revision rounds included. One round means one batched note list. New parts or arrangement changes are re-quoted.
Notes with timestamps or bar numbers work best. Pair subjective comments with reference links.

Invoices for companies: 30 days when approved. Disclaimer.
We document gain staging choices per song so recalls stay predictable if you return within the archive window.
Reference tracks should note which element you want matched—transient shape, vocal brightness, bass weight—not the entire production aesthetic.
Consolidated feedback emails speed up turnaround; scattered chat messages during critical listening slow engineers down.
When booking overlaps with mastering, tell us the target platform early so mix bus headroom stays appropriate.
Instrumental or TV mixes need separate quotes; mention them before the first pass to avoid rework.
We can provide muted or censored versions when platforms require clean uploads alongside explicit masters.
Check mono compatibility on earbuds before approving a mix intended for wide release.
Keep backup copies on your side even while our 12-month retention applies on さくらインターネット株式会社.

FAQ
Is there a track limit?
Quotes assume roughly thirty-two tracks per song. Beyond that, add hourly time at ¥11,000 via Contact.
Do you accept any DAW?
WAV stems always work. Native project files need version confirmation first.
Can we choose EP delivery order?
Yes—tell us priority titles when accepting the ¥88,000 quote.
Mastering in the same project?
Add Mastering for loudness and format exports in one pipeline.
What happens after revision rounds?
Extra work bills at ¥11,000 or per song. Major direction changes may count as a new mix.
