Nara's mixing commissions

Hello! I’m Nara, singer and audio mixer.On one side, I've been mixing for several years already, first as a self-taught mixer and after that I worked for 3 years in an edm label's recording studio, where I reinforced my knowledge related to music production.On the other side I’ve been singing for more than 10 years, collaborating with top musicians of the professional industry.My services include audio editing (tuning, timing, cleaning, audio recovery...), mixing and mastering, vocal production (Toplines, harmony design, harmony guides, vocal arrangements...) and many more for both covers and original music.

AUDIO EDITING

TUNING

I use Melodyne studio for a perfect and natural tuning.Price per track is 10€ If there's too much to correct, the price can go up.Please note that if there are many tuning errors it may not sound very natural, so a redo would be better. Be sure to send your best take. If you are not sure about this, you can send me multiple takes and I will pick the best one.

TIMING

I also take only timing commissions. I can time multiple voices for choruses, your own main vocals with harmonies...Price per track is 5€You must give the original song or one already timed vocal track as a reference. If you can provide the BPM of the song it's a plus!

CLEANING

I will polish your tracks and remove background noise, excessive breathing or ambient reverb, clicks or clipping...
Please note that sometimes is better to re-record with adjusted settings if the track has a lot of things to fix, because the sound quality will also be affected by this.Price per track is 10€

HARMONIES

HARMONY GUIDES

If you have difficulties picking harmonies, this is the thing you're looking for. I will send you an MP3 of the original song with the lead vocals lowered and the harmony track highlighted with virtual instruments or my own voice and an acapella mp3 of the guide itself.Harmony guides don't include Adlibs by default, if you also want me to include adlibs in the guide, you must tell me in advance.Price per harmony guide: starting at 15€Also, check out my recently opened "Harmony guide shop", with a lot of songs ready to send!

ARTIFICIAL HARMONIES

I can create artificial harmonies from your voice! This is a very good option depending on the style of the song you are recording, specially if you don't know how to harmonize.I also offer a service of harmony recording, I'll sing them and send the edited track ready to mix with your vocals.Price per track is 15€

HARMONY DESIGN

I can design new harmonies that are not included in the original song
if you want to give a new vibe to your cover or your original song.They can be created from your lead VO or I can record them for you as a guide.Price per track is 15€Note than this are base prices. Price can increase due to the complexity of the project.

MASTERING

I offer an only mastering service. You should provide the WAV file of the finish mix ready to master. I provide mastering for both physical CD's and digital platforms.Prices starting at 25€

VOCAL PRODUCTION (ORIGINAL MUSIC)

If you are working on an original song, I also offer vocal production services. From creating vocal arrangements, designing harmonies or designing the effect package for the mix.Contact me for further information.

GUIDELINES

I will need a folder with all the tracks separately and the original song as a reference. You can send me those via google drive, app box, WeTransfer…Please be sure that lines DO NOT overlap. Save them in separated files. Lines that overlap will still count as 1 track.Name lines accordingly to the content (Ex: MainVO, HarmHigh, HarmLow, Adlibs…). I will need the vocal tracks in WAV or AIFF, Mono, 24 bits 44100hz or 48000hz. Try to avoid MP3. Avoid splitting the MainVO track in different files for "Verse", "Chorus", "Prechorus" etc.You must provide the instrumental in the highest quality (WAV desired, Mp3 accepted).In case of ordering a full package, do not make any modifications to the tracks.Please be aware that the final result of the mix will completely depend on the source file quality. Try to send the best take. I may ask for small retakes to fix any problematic parts, but If you send me a whole retake track, it will count as an extra one and you'll have to pay for it. I can work with phone/laptop recordings, just be aware that the final result's quality will be lower and will never be as my portfolio's quality.Try to record close to the mic to avoid background reverb, also balance the gain of your mic properly to avoid clipping or distortion. Certain problems are unfixable and this will lower the quality of the final product.

TERMS OF SERVICE

I will accept and confirm the commission only after hearing your files. I may decline a commission due to lack of quality.Full payment is needed the lock the slot. I won’t start your commission until you send the payment and If you don’t pay I’ll skip to the next in line. I won't save slots if the files are not ready when ordering.After checking all the files and receiving the payment, I will confirm your commission and will either place it on the waitlist or will start working on it.

Delivery time depends entirely on the calendar and waitlist, It may also vary depending on the complexity of the song and commission schedule.I won't guarantee deadlines under 1 month (Average waitlist time) unless paying to skip the waitlist.Rushed deadlines or skipping the waitlist will result in a price increment. The price will vary depending on your hard deadline: Up to 1 week 50% extra, Up to 4 days 100% extra, 2 days or less 200% extra.I only make refunds in case I can’t do a commission that I already accepted for any reason. If the cancellation is on your side, no refunds will be granted as that means I'll probably lose that slot.Once you receive the final master, you have up to 1 week to confirm it. If I don't receive any response after 1 week, you'll lose the right to have any changes done.Credit on videos is required, you must link my website, twitter and YouTube channel.I'm in a GMT+1 (CET) time zone. All forms of communications will be processed between 13.00h - 00.00h. I won't take responsibility if the deadline isn't met due to late communications on your end. Please be aware of this specially when ordering a rushed deadline project, since I communicate a lot to check if modifications on the mix are needed.Let me know if I should keep the name of the song “secret” when adding it to my waitlist.The prices shown in the website are for Non commercial use.
