Mixing/Mastering – Vaarten Music

Giving your music the treatment it deserves.

I don’t believe in technical correctness for its own sake. I believe any choice in the mixing/mastering process should be made on one condition: that it helps you, the artist, get your vision across. My experience and education have provided me with the requisite knowledge, skills and intuition to do just that: to make mixes and masters that live up to your artistic vision.

I specialise in (indie) pop, electronic music and jazz.

Rates

Mixing: €4 x number of stems

Mastering: €35 per song

I also offer stem mastering services. This is essentially a middle ground between mixing and mastering: a large number of stems is consolidated into a small number of groups, and these groups are sent to the mastering engineer. For stem mastering a song, I charge €35 + €4 x number of groups.
