FOUNDER OF MIC NIX PRODUCTIONS

How long does a project take?

Turnaround time depends on the size and complexity of the project.

  • Mixing & mastering: usually 3–5 business days per song
  • Full production: timelines are set based on your project scope (EPs/albums may take several weeks)

Rush options are available if you’re on a tight schedule

How much does it cost?

Yes — that’s part of our process. We design websites that don’t require a developer for every small change. You’ll be able to update content, add projects, write blog posts, and adjust visuals

How many revisions do I get?

Not at all. We work with companies at every stage. If you already have a brand system, we’ll
refine and extend it. If you’re starting from scratch, we’ll guide you through strategy, naming,

Do you offer attended sessions?

Yes. Design and branding don’t end at launch day. We provide post-launch support for small fixes, adjustments, or
questions in the first weeks. For brands that want ongoing help — adding new pages, refreshing visuals, optimizing UX

Which payment methods do you prefer?

Kickoff call, concept phase, daily async updates, shared boards, and 2-day check-ins. You’ll always know where things stand.

Do you work with beginners?

50% upfront, 50% on delivery — unless we agree on something else. We keep it simple and fair.

What are ISRC codes?

ISRC codes (International Standard Recording Codes) are unique identifiers assigned to your tracks. They’re essential for collecting royalties and tracking plays across radio, streaming, and sales. If you don’t already have them, we can guide you through the process.

Which payment methods do you offer?

We accept bank transfer, PayPal, and most major credit/debit cards. International clients are welcome.

What about Apple Digital Masters?

We can prepare your music to meet Apple Digital Masters (formerly Mastered for iTunes) standards if required. This ensures your tracks are accepted by Apple Music with the highest audio fidelity.

 

Can I send stems instead of a stereo mix?

Yes, we offer stem mastering if you’d like more flexibility in the final sound. This can be helpful if you’re not 100% confident in your mix balance.

 

Do you tune vocals or edit performances?

Yes, vocal tuning, timing edits, and performance polishing can be included in production or as add-on services. Just let us know your needs when booking.

What is mastering and do I need it?

Mastering is the final polish that makes your music sound consistent, competitive, and ready for release across all platforms. Even if your mix already sounds great, mastering ensures it translates well across streaming, radio, clubs, and live systems.

 

Do you master for streaming platforms?

Yes. We deliver masters optimised for Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Tidal, and more. We can also provide versions for CD, vinyl, and hi-res downloads if needed.

 

Do you offer Atmos/immersive audio?

Yes, immersive audio (Dolby Atmos / Ambisonics) is available on request. This is a growing format for streaming platforms, film, and sync placements.

 

Can you help with distribution?

We don’t act as a distributor, but we can advise you on services like DistroKid, TuneCore, or CD Baby, and make sure your masters meet their technical requirements.

Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend his services. After mixing several EPs on my own, I contacted Mike to mix and master my first full-length album, to take my sound up a level.

I needed a real pro to achieve the clarity, balance, and energy I was looking for, and Mike delivered.
