A few useful answers before we start threading your track into shape.

Threadline Audio offers mixing, mastering, mix and master packages, remote session playing, backing tracks, acoustic arrangements and original music composition for independent artists, singers, songwriters and creative projects.

A mix is where your recorded parts are balanced, shaped and brought together into a clearer, more finished track. This can include level balancing, panning, EQ, compression, effects, automation and general mix polish.

A basic mix is usually suitable for smaller projects with up to 16 stems. A standard mix is suitable for larger projects with up to 32 stems.

Ideally, please send clearly labelled stems or multitracks, a rough demo mix, the tempo or BPM, any reference tracks, and notes about how you would like the finished track to sound.

WAV files are preferred where possible. If you are unsure how to export your stems, get in touch and I can guide you through it.

No, not without your permission. Any demos, stems, lyrics, rough mixes or unreleased music you send will only be used to discuss, quote for or complete your project.

Threadline Audio will not publish, share or use your music for portfolio or promotional purposes without your agreement.

Send a message with a short description of your project, what service you are interested in, any rough demos or references, and your ideal timescale.

Threadline Audio will then suggest the most suitable option and provide a quote before any paid work begins.
