BESPOKE ENGINEERING AND PRODUCTION
Take your sound from “work-in-progress” to “club-ready.”
A full day in the studio is more than just tweaking—it’s a ground-up transformation. We don’t just polish; we build. Whether it’s reconstructing an arrangement, surgical drum redesign, or finally fixing that low end, we ensure your record carries the weight and clarity it needs to dominate a sound system.
Our sessions are will build serious momentum:
- Start Fresh or Finish Strong: We can kick off a new record or take your half-finished demos across the finish line.
- The “Why” Behind the “How”: For attended sessions you won’t just watch us work. You’ll learn the logic behind the processing, helping you make faster decisions and develop sharper creative taste.
- Lasting Impact: By the end of our time together, you won’t just walk away with stronger tracks—you’ll walk away with a more confident, refined approach to production.
How It Works
Our services are available by application only. This ensures a perfect match between your project’s current stage and the specific expertise of our roster.
Our producers offer two primary ways to work:
1. Time-Based Sessions
Perfect for those who want a deep dive into the creative process.
- Half-Day: Fast-paced, focused technical fixes or mix refinements (Unattended).
- Full Day & Multi-Day: Deep-tissue production, arrangement, and sound design. These can be attended in person, allowing for side-by-side collaboration.
2. Project-Based (Milestones & Revisions)
Certain producers prefer to work on a per-track basis. This involves a set project fee covering the initial production/mix followed by a structured revision process to dial in the final result.

How do I know what level I'm at?
1. Beginner (Entry-Level)
- Technical: You have basic proficiency in a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) like Ableton Live, Logic Pro or Studio One. You understands MIDI, basic vamping, and how to use stock plugins with mixing tools such as EQ and compression.
- Creative: You are able to construct a 4–8 bar loop and arrange it into a basic song structure. You might rely heavily on unedited samples or loops.
- Validation: You might have a Soundcloud or Bandcamp but not released releases
2. Intermediate (Emerging Artist)
- Technical: You have a solid grasp of Sound Design (synthesis, sampling) and Mix Engineering. Tracks have proper gain staging, sidechaining, and spatial placement.
- Creative: You can consistently finish tracks that follow genre-specific tropes while beginning to develop a unique “sonic signature”.
- Validation: You are likely to have a small discography on Spotify Apple Music via independent distributors like DistroKid or TuneCore. You may also have received some DJ support from local or niche artists.
3. Professional (Industry Standard)
- Technical: Masters of the “last 10%” of a mix—transient shaping, advanced automation, and sophisticated use of “industry standard” tools like Pro Tools or Waves Plugins.
- Creative: You should a high level of consistency and produce a high-quality record under tight deadlines without “writer’s block.” You are often acting as a “director,” knowing how to extract the best performance from an artist or vocalist.
- Validation: You are signed to reputable labels (e.g., Anjunabeats, Defected, Toolroom). Records are regularly featured on Beatport Charts or supported by “A-list” DJs. You most likely also have a track record of paid Work-for-Hire or ghost-production projects.
Do you accept everyone
No, you need to be at a certain standard. Please read out guidelines. Or if you are not sure send us a message via the contact form and we will let you know.
Client Guidelines
Please read these guidelines before booking. They explain who our services are for, how each one works, and what we'll need from you.
Who these services are for
Perfect The Mix is built for producers who already have a grasp of their craft. You don't need to be an expert, but you should be comfortable writing and finishing your own tracks. If you're just starting out, you'll get far more from these services once you have a few completed tracks behind you.
Every producer works slightly differently, and each will happily work with clients across a range of experience levels — but all of our services assume you already know your way around a project.
How it works
Everything starts with a Track Assessment. This is the compulsory first step for anyone who wants full production work, and it's where the producer reviews your music and decides what's needed.
Important: booking full production is entirely dependent on the producer agreeing to work on your track after that assessment. It protects both sides — making sure your track is right for the producer, and the producer is right for your music, before any production is booked or paid for.
In short:
1. Book a Track Assessment with your chosen producer.
2. Submit your track and any notes.
3. The producer assesses it and gives you feedback.
4. If they're happy to take it on, they'll recommend the production work and send you a booking link.
5. You book and pay for the recommended work, and the producer begins.
Our services
Track Assessment
Track assessments are for near-complete tracks — around 90% there — that you have produced yourself. Send well-developed work rather than sketches or loops, so the producer can give you honest, detailed feedback on where the track is and what would take it to the next level.
At a glance:
• £100 across the board.
• Submit your track within 14 days of booking.
• Feedback returned within 7 days — as written notes, audio or video.
Production & Engineering
To get your track release-ready, it needs to be at a certain standard already — the producer is mixing, mastering and finishing your work to a professional standard, not building it from scratch. The track assessment is where they confirm your track is ready and agree what's involved.
At a glance:
• Booked on a per-day basis, after a successful track assessment.
• Please book at least 5 days in advance.
• What to supply: all parts as audio stems, plus a 2-track master and full MIDI. Incomplete or incorrect parts may mean extra time (at additional cost) or loss of your deposit.
Mentorship (1-to-1)
Mentorship isn't for complete beginners, but everyone else is welcome — from producers levelling up to experienced pros after a fresh set of ears. Come with work in progress and specific questions and you'll get the most from your producer's time.
At a glance:
• 2-hour sessions over Zoom, bought in blocks of four weekly sessions.
• Take your sessions within about 3 months, from the slots the producer offers.
• Changes up to 48 hours before a session. No-shows are still charged.
Booking, changes and cancellations
• Rescheduling within the required notice (at least 5 days for production, 48 hours for mentoring) is free.
• Cancelling with the required notice: you receive a 90% refund; we retain 10% as a booking and administration fee.
• Cancelling inside the notice window, or a no-show: no refund is due.
Receiving your files
When you book production, you'll get a private link to upload your files securely. Your producer works on them and then returns the finished files — and any track-assessment feedback — to you directly by a private download link. You'll never see anyone else's work, and no one sees yours.
