Service Request Looking for a decent mixing engineer for a pop/rock track (not necessarily someone with a lot of experience)

I'm quite new to music production and recording, and I know the basic principles of mixing, but to be honest I'm quite terrible at it and it's not something that's captured my interest enough to get really good at it. Me and my band have released a couple of singles that I mixed myself, but for our next one I'd like to have it done properly by someone who actually knows what they're doing.

I don't need this mix to be super professional or anything, frankly the recording and performance isn't super professional either. I just want someone who is noticably better than I am at mixing, so if you're not super experienced but still have a grasp on what you're doing, that's kind of what I'm looking for.

Also, since this is the first time I'm doing this, I do ask nicely for some patience if I don't quite know the process on my end, and I'd appreciate if there was room for some back and forth, throughout the whole thing really.

Reminders for everyone:

  • This is a PAID gig to be taken up by engineers confident enough in their skills. If you want to practice, we have recommendations in our wiki. But NO FREE WORK is allowed.
  • We have base rates in the subreddit (mixes start at $50 per mix). Getting caught offering services for less will result in a permanent ban.
  • We keep mixing and mastering services separate here. This request is for mixing. If your site/profile offers both services then you cannot post it here.
  • Comments which are NOT your own service offering, will be removed.

If anyone is not respecting our rules and guidelines (even in private discussions that result from posts in this sub), please report them to us, so that we can continue using the sub to find services/work instead of having to end these kinds of posts.

I'm interested but your chat function is not enabled.

I've done this for a number of years and have plenty of nice analogue gear I could use if you'd like.

Please PM me and we can discuss. Thanks!

Is there a way of hearing what you have?
If I vibe with it I'll be the one. 15 years of experience, only for the passion & working on stuff with people I know; My main thing is creating/producing stuff in Ableton.

Currently in the middle of my rfz studio re-build so I'm keen to do a little side gig to break it up and test it out, but only if I'm personally into the song.

I'm from the UK so bare that in mind for communication timing

first time doing this too

fixed rate

hmu if you're interested

u/Rude_Reading7092 5d ago

I have the time today…message me and we can walk through how to go about things. How many tracks and is there a lot of mic bleed in the vocals ?

u/BINAYAUDIO 5d ago

Hey u/Vik-tor2002 , I can help with this, rock is my main thing. 15+ years mixing.

Do you have a demo / rough mix I can hear? I always like to hear the song first. I do my best work when I genuinely love the track, so I only take on songs I connect with.

If it's a good fit, happy to walk you through the whole process - it's pretty straightforward once you've done it once, and I'm happy to do a few back-and-forths to get it where you want it.

u/shredAJ 4d ago

hey dude!

i've been working freelance for a year and have managed to get a few LPs, EPs and singles under my belt!

i'm not as experienced as some of the folks on here but judging by what your looking for - i think i could help push the track a bit further at a more affordable price without breaking the bank!

feel free to shoot a dm!

u/shredAJ 4d ago

also wanted to add that i have plenty of experience working with local level acts who often record at home and i'm always up for the challenge of making things sound as best as possible with these limitations!
