Before the mixing process begins, details regarding the music to be mixed must be made by you. A phone consultation will be scheduled so that technical and creative aspects of the project are determined before any work begins.

Technical:

• Recording Platform/Software used.
• File Type, Sample Rate and Bit Depth.
• Size of the project.
• How to export the project for upload.

Creative:

• What is the purpose of the song (who will be listening to it and how will they get it).
• Reference mixes for stylistic interpretation.

Once these factors have been determined an invoice will be sent to you. We purposefully submit the invoice for audio mixing services after the consultation so that both parties are comfortable that the job will be done as envisioned by you. Although we are comfortable mixing most styles of music, not every connection is a good match. We will not mix a project unless both parties feel comfortable and confident.

Depending on the size and number of the songs to be mixed, a variety of different options for uploading, or mailing if necessary, will be made available. Once the best method has been determined, We will load the files into my system so that the work can begin. If there are any issues with the upload, a second consultation may be necessary to take care of any technical issues that may arise.

Once the songs are successfully downloaded by us, the mixing work will begin. Depending on the length of the song, the number of audio tracks and any technical or production issues that arise, most songs are completed one per day. Shorter songs with lower track count can be completed 2 or more per day. Longer songs with a higher track count may take two days to complete.

As part of the audio mixing services application process a timeframe for the completion of the work will be established. The timeframe for completion will be based on current scheduling and a realistic timeframe for uploading and verification of your songs. No mixing work will begin until all the files are verified.

During the course of mixing, 1 reference mix will be uploaded for you to listen to. The reference mix are usually uploaded after the mix is about 80-95% done. The reference mix is uploaded so that you can monitor the progress of the mix and make any suggestions and adjustments toward the approach of the mix.

This helps to prevent any misunderstandings regarding your preferences for the sound and direction of the mix. Comments may include general comments on the balances, equalization, compression or effects processing for any part of the song. Example: we want more reverb on the vocals, can you make the guitars louder in the chorus section, make the drums more aggressive sounding, etc.

More specific comments may reference detailed adjustments. Example: The 3^rd line of the vocal in the 1^st verse needs to be louder, can you put a quarter note delay on the last vocal line of the bridge section, can you make the snare just a touch brighter, etc.

After receiving your comments and feedback regarding the reference mix, adjustments will be made to accommodate your requests. A followup mix will be uploaded for approval before the final mix will be printed. It is typical that most mixes require only one or two adjustments before printing.

When mixing several songs from the same recording sessions, it is not uncommon for the first couple of songs to require more reference mixes until the specific direction is defined. Once this has been established, it will be easier to mix the remaining songs (hence the discount for more songs). It may be necessary to revisit the first couple of mixes if the direction of the project, as a whole, takes a few songs to fully establish.

The final mixes may be downloaded via FTP or delivered through wetransfer.com. The final mixes are typically formatted at the same sample rate and bit depth as the multitrack session. This will preserve the highest level of quality for the mixes prior to mastering. The higher sample rate and bit depth is necessary to keep the quality of the processing during the mastering session at its best before downsampling for the CD production master.

If you have also hired us to master the final mixes, the files will be provided individually as well as in DDP (Disc Description Protocol) format for CD manufacturing. In addition to the audio mixing services we provide, a copy of the final multitrack mix session can be provided, upon request, in an archival DVD format for a small additional fee plus shipping.

All our other beats listed on our Beats For Sale page are sold non-exclusively, meaning they can be sold to multiple people. However, you can still buy the full usage rights to these beats by purchasing the Exclusive Rights versions of them. The Exclusive Rights License Agreement grants you the full and unlimited rights to sell, distribute, perform and broadcast (TV, radio, Internet) the song you make with that beat, keeping all of the royalties.

If you've purchased the Leasing Right and the song that you've you made became a hit, we will be willing to workout a deal if you need the beat removed permanently from our website.

No. When an exclusive beat is bought, it will no longer be available for sale or download, but it will remain on the website and be listed as "SOLD." When a non-exclusive beat is bought, it will remain on the website and can still be bought by others. The next question and answer will explain how the same beat can be bought by multiple people.

If two different people buy the same beat, they can still each copyright their own song they make with that beat, and sell, distribute, perform and broadcast that song, keeping all their own royalties.

When you purchase a beat from Masar Tv, the copyright for that beat alone still belongs to Masar. However, the copyright for the song that you make with that beat, your lyrics combined with that beat, belongs to you. And with the rights granted to you by the Masar Tv license agreement, you are allowed to sell, distribute, perform and broadcast (TV, radio, Internet) that song, keeping all of the royalties.

Tracked out audio files, also called stems, are sub mixes of an instrumental. For example, an instrumental might have the four stems: Bass, Beat, Percussion, and Instruments. The Bass stem being the bass; the Beat stem being the kick and the snare; The Percussion stem being the hi-hats, shakers, and crash cymbals; and the Instruments stem being the strings, organs, and synths. All of these stems are the full duration of the instrumental and can be layered together to recreate the stereo mix of the original instrumental.

The reason for stems is that they allow for more precise fine tuning while mixing a song. For example, one can adjust the gain on the Bass without affecting the low end of the Cellos. Or you can mold the cymbals around the vocals without affecting the punch of the snare. Although Masar beats come already professionally mixed, depending on the particular artist's vocals or the sound of the rest of their album, adjustments may want to be made in mastering. With stems these adjustments can be made much more accurately and easily.

Yes, you can chop, loop, speed up, slow down, add extra sounds, and change up the beat as much as you want as long as you still give full production credit to the original producer.

In all projects where any part of a Jee Juh beat is used, be sure to give credit in one of the following formats:

"Produced by (Producer's Full Name)"
"Beat by (Producer's Full Name)"
"Original Music by (Producer's Full Name)"

Our newest beats are made using the industry-standard DAWs, Pro Tools or Ableton Live. Some of our earliest beats were made using FL Studio and Propellerhead's Reason.
