Hip hop and pop mixing.
Vocals first, low end locked, and a mix that holds up next to the records on the playlist. I mix and master hip hop and pop from Berlin, in the studio or remotely.
The details
Vocals that sit right
In hip hop and pop, the vocal is the record. Getting it clear, present and consistent without sounding processed is most of the job: level riding, tone, de essing, and space that supports the vocal instead of burying it.
Low end that translates
808s and sub bass are where most home mixes fall apart: booming on headphones, gone on a phone speaker. I balance the low end so it carries on every system.
Credits
Pop and hip hop credits include Bibi Bourelly, Steel Banglez and Sidhu Moose Wala, alongside a wide catalogue in electronic music. Full credits.
What to send
- Stems or multitracks as WAV or AIFF, 24 bit
- Vocals as separate dry stems, with any effects you want kept printed on separate stems
- A rough mix or reference track so I know the direction
Step by step: how to export stems for mixing.
How it works
Send
Stems for mixing, the stereo mix for mastering. WAV or AIFF, 24 bit.
Reference
A first pass to hear on your own systems, not just mine.
Revise
Timestamped notes beat "make it punchier." Specific feedback lands faster.
Deliver
Release ready files in the formats you need.
Questions
Do you mix vocals recorded at home?
Yes. Send them dry, and I'll tell you early if a take needs re recording rather than trying to fix it in the mix.
Should I send the beat as stems or one file?
Stems are much better. A two track beat limits how well the vocal and low end can be balanced.
Can you mix and master the same track?
Yes, and it often helps, because the master starts from a mix I already know.
How many revisions are included?
Up to two rounds for mixing, one for mastering.
