Same-Day Express (Vocal Mix + Mastering)
$350
Fast, focused, and built for artists who walk in ready.
You'll record vocals over your finished beat, then I'll mix and master the track in the same session so you leave with a finished WAV. This is one efficient pass, best when you're rehearsed and ready to deliver, we move quickly and capture your song while the energy is up.
What's included:
4hr studio session (1.5hrs recording, 2.5hrs mixing and mastering)
Engineer-led vocal recording, lead, doubles, stacks and ad-libs
Comping + clean edits
Mix + master completed in the same booking
Final delivery: high-fidelity WAV master
Best for: 1 song, vocals over a stereo beat (2-track) that's already arranged.
Bring: your beat as a WAV file, lyrics down pat, plus a reference track if you've got one.
Same-Day Plus (Vocal Mix + Mastering)
$475
Express captures your song. Plus captures your best performance.
Same record + mix + master workflow, with the recording time to actually chase the take. Warm up properly, try the hook a few different ways, experiment with deliveries, punch in until it's right. No clock pressure, just you and the song until the vocal is the best version of you. Then I comp from everything we've captured and take the extra time in the mix to match it.
What's included:
6hr studio session (up to 3.5hrs vocal recording, 2.5hrs mixing and mastering)
Time to explore takes, deliveries and layers without rushing
Deep comping from your full pool of takes
Detailed editing and tuning
Mix + master completed in-session
Final delivery: high-fidelity WAV master
Best for: 1 song where the performance matters most. If you've ever left a session thinking "I could have sung that better", this is your package.
Bring: stereo beat (WAV), lyrics, and an open mind for trying things.
Same-Day Signature (Vocal + Stem Mix + Mastering)
$695
For the song you can't afford to get wrong.
The full creative treatment. You get the time to chase your best performance, and I mix with an ear on the song itself, lifting choruses, creating movement between sections, making arrangement-minded decisions that leave the record feeling dynamic and finished. It's the package I'd book for my own release.
What's included:
8hr studio session (4hrs recording, 4hrs mixing and mastering)
Engineer-led vocal recording with performance direction, lead, doubles, stacks and ad-libs
Deep comping, detailed editing and tuning
Creative mixing: section lifts, movement, arrangement-minded decisions
Stem-level mix control where stems are supplied
Mastering for loudness, clarity and translation
Final delivery: high-fidelity WAV master

Bring: your beat as a WAV or stems (start at bar 1, same sample rate, clearly labelled), lyrics and references.
Revisions: included, we keep working until you're happy with the result.

Bring your beat as a stereo WAV file, your lyrics fully written and rehearsed, and a reference track if you have one. The song needs to be pre-written and ready to record, same-day packages don't include writing time. If your instrumental is available as stems, the Signature package can make use of them, but a stereo beat works for every package.
-
Yes, the 2 Song Day is built for exactly that. It's a full 8-hour booking where both songs are recorded first while your voice is warm, then each is mixed and mastered the same day. You leave with two release-ready WAV masters, and it costs $650, which saves $50 on booking two separate Express days.
