REVISIONS
Once mixing is complete, you'll be given the opportunity to tweak your track(s) to your liking. To do so, please follow these steps:
1. Select a spokesperson from the band to speak on the band's behalf. All communication needs to come from this one spokesperson from only one source such as Facebook messenger or text.
2. I will send you a Google Drive link with a mastered mix to pass along to the rest of the band. The entire band needs to review the track(s) on their most familiar playback device like headphones, car, or Bluetooth speaker.
3. Instruct the band to take detailed notes about anything they may not like, specifically noting the section name or timecode of the song to find the issue. Take pity on your mix engineer and say at least one nice thing about the mix. Spend at least 24 hours reviewing the mix before moving on to the next step.
4. Compare all notes as a band, agree upon each note, and compile all notes into a single message (photos/screenshots will be rejected). Notes should be WHAT you would like fixed, not HOW you think they should be fixed. For example: "Can't hear the lead guitar in the Chorus" is more valuable than "turn up the lead guitar in the Chorus".
5. Please divide your notes into two sections when applicable. One for changes to make to the whole song and one for specific changes.
EXAMPLE:
Whole song
Turn up the kick
Turn down the vocal effects
Specifics
Turn up the guitar solo at 1:38
Turn down the toms at 2:17
6. You'll have 30 days of unlimited free revisions. Beyond 30 days, revisions will be billed at the current hourly rate.
7. Unless called away by my day job during the week, all revisions will be processed and returned for review in 48 hours or less. This is assuming that your notes are specific, detailed, and straightforward. Most projects go through 3-4 rounds of revisions before getting wrapped up.
8. Once the revision process is completed, and the entire band has signed off on the final mixes, I recommend waiting 3 days to review the tracks and be 100% sure there are no more revisions needed.
9. If there are no more revisions needed and final payment has been made, I will create and send over the final master WAV files. Any additional revisions desired after this step has been completed will be billed at the currently hourly rate.
If any member of the band has any questions about any steps in this process, please ask.
