Artists receive regular updates, opportunities for feedback, and the assurance that their input shapes the final result. The goal is never just a technically proficient mix, but a mix that captures the emotional essence of the music.

Questions & Answers

How much does mixing cost?
Mixing rates vary based on project scope, timeline, and complexity. Caleb offers competitive pricing for independent artists while maintaining the quality standards expected by major labels. Factors that influence pricing include the number of tracks, complexity of the arrangement, and turnaround time required. Contact for a personalized quote tailored to your specific project needs. Package rates are available for EP and album projects.
How does remote mixing work?
Remote mixing with Caleb is a streamlined, collaborative process. First, you upload your stems (individual tracks) to a shared folder along with reference tracks that capture the sound you're going for. Include any notes about your vision, specific elements you want emphasized, or concerns about the current mix. Caleb then delivers polished mixes with detailed notes about his approach. Communication happens via email, Zoom, or phone throughout the process, ensuring you're always informed and involved in creative decisions.
What files do you need?
For best results, provide WAV or AIFF files at 24-bit/48kHz or higher. Include all stems clearly labeled (e.g., "Kick," "Snare," "Lead Vocal") with no processing on the master bus. If you've used specific plugins or effects that are essential to the sound, include both wet and dry versions. A rough mix is helpful for understanding your vision. Consolidate all tracks to start from the same point (bar 1, beat 1) for easy alignment.
What's the turnaround time?
Standard turnaround is 3-5 business days per song, depending on complexity and current project load. This includes the initial mix and typically 2-3 rounds of revisions. Rush services are available for tight deadlines with prior arrangement. For album or EP projects, Caleb works with you to establish a realistic timeline that ensures quality while meeting your release schedule. Communication about timing is always transparent and upfront.
Do you work with indie artists?
Absolutely. While Caleb works with major labels like Verve, Warner, and Parlophone, he remains passionate about helping independent artists achieve professional-quality mixes. Many of his longest and most rewarding collaborations began when artists were just starting their careers. Caleb believes every song deserves to sound its best, regardless of budget or label backing. Indie-friendly rates and payment plans are available for qualifying projects.
What genres do you mix?
Caleb's portfolio spans pop, indie rock, folk, funk, R&B, soul, singer-songwriter, alternative, and jazz-influenced music. His work with artists as diverse as Vulfpeck (funk), Lizzy McAlpine (indie folk), and Scary Pockets (funk covers) demonstrates his versatility and ability to adapt his approach to serve each genre's unique sonic requirements. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all template, Caleb tailors his mixing decisions to enhance each song's natural strengths.
