The Problem
Do you make music that you know artistically is strong - but for some reason doesn’t quite connect? It’s easier than ever to create music, but yet at the same time it seems harder to make it stick or gain traction. With more competition than ever, the quality of your releases is vitally important to separate yourself from everything else. Why don't people's self-recorded and mixed projects get any attention? Let's dive further into it...
Why does this happen?
It's really not that complicated - if you think about it normal people, listeners, future fans - people who aren’t musicians themselves are pretty much only used to EVER hearing real records their entire lives. Why didn't your musician friends tell you this? They're probably making the same level of non-record quality music themselves. They can continue to do this, but YOUR music needs to be able to reasonably stand up next to commercial releases to make it onto radio, playlists or stop a potential fan hitting the skip button. The same goes for A&R, playlists, and radio programmers. They just don't understand it, and no matter how good the song - and yes, while the song IS king the regular listener isn't in the business of seeing potential - they want to hear the finished article, a record - NOW. Simply put - if you don’t have material that can stand up proudly next to a commercial release, don't expect amazing results.
A huge part of the plugin market exists because people believe the next new shiny tool with help them to finally make something more like a record, and people spend millions of dollars every year chasing this dream - but no tool is going to substitute for years of experience actually working IN the industry. As cool as doing everything yourself sounds, in reality there is no way you can compete with the quality of working with professionals. Have you got 20 years to get that good, or are yet more mediocre releases in the meantime really the solution? NO. Think about it: every major release you see uses a team for that reason. Even THEY are competing. Even US engineers are competing to blow away our competition.
Some people will even try to sell you the last part of the process - mastering as a magic bullet but to be frank, you can’t polish a turd. You can make it a 10% more shiny turd...but it’s still a turd. It'd be nice if mastering was magical, but it's not - it's the cherry on the cake. No cake? Why do I need a cherry?!
The worst thing about all of this is you’re missing out on having musical works of art that you will be proud of for years to come.
What We Can Do Together (Remote Mixing Process)
The good news is I can help you.
Unlike many random people calling themselves mixers you’ll come across on the internet - I’ve actually worked with several grammy winning and multi-platinum producers, had some hits on national charts, tons of airplay, over a billion streams and most importantly regularly take the recordings of artists like you - and help make them into records that went on to help the artists really push themselves forward.
The process is smooth - I work with you, collaboratively to make you happy, elevate your work, and give you something to be proud of. I’m here to work with you, not be someone taking liberties with your art. This is how it works:
​​
-
File Submission: You send me your multi-tracks or stems alongside your rough mix. (Check out my handy File Prep guide to get started).
-
Creative Alignment: We have a deep conversation about your sonic vision and reference tracks so we know exactly what to aim for.
-
7-Day First Mix Draft: I deliver a fully realized first mix within 7 days, uploaded directly to an easy-to-use, lossless remote revisions platform.
-
Collaborative Revisions: You listen on your home turf, and I make precise rounds of revisions based on your feedback in my easy to use revisions system.
-
Final Delivery: Your high-resolution master-ready files are delivered, 100% ready for commercial release.

...and when we are finished I’ll even then give you a release plan to give you a start on what to do with it next.

Deluxe Mixing Success Stories & Case Studies
Let's look at a couple of successes.
Irish singer Cormac was hesitant about the reality that covid made him need to radically adjust his recording process being stuck at home, so together we set about taking his home recordings to record level - and the result has gone on to get more airplay than any other release so far - including loads of national airplay - all without a label.
​
Formerly signed French artist Naive New Beaters did some demos they wanted to shop for a new deal, but wanted to take the best shot possible - they sent them to me, and I elevated them which helped them ink a new deal with Capitol Records in France.

FAQ
Q: How does the remote mixing process work with Deluxe Mixing? A: The process is entirely collaborative and digital. You upload your multi-tracks or stems via swisstransfer, we discuss your sonic vision, and I deliver the first mix within 7 days. We then use an interactive revisions platform (Mixup) where you can leave timestamped feedback directly on the audio, ensuring the final record is exactly how you imagined it.
​
Q: What files do I need to provide for a professional mix? A: To get the best results, please provide consolidated 24-bit WAV files (stems or multi-tracks) starting from the same point (0:00). It is also helpful to include your "rough mix" and think about mentioning 1-2 reference tracks from commercial artists that represent the vibe and frequency balance you are aiming for.
​​
Q: How many revisions are included in the mixing service? A: My goal is to make sure you are 100% proud of the result. Every mix includes multiple rounds of revisions as standard. Most projects are nailed within one to three passes thanks to our detailed pre-mix conversation and the precision of the timestamped feedback platform I use.
​
Q: Do you offer vocal tuning and timing correction? A: Yes. As a platinum-certified engineer, I understand that the vocal is the heart of the record. I expect the vocal to arrive ready to mix, but I will do minor vocal tuning (Melodyne) and timing correction (pocketing) of things like backing vocalsincluded in the mixing service to ensure your performance sounds world-class while remaining natural.
​
Q: What is the typical turnaround time for a mix? A: I typically deliver the first high-resolution mix draft within 7 days of receiving your files. If you have a specific deadline or a tight release schedule, please mention it during our initial consultation so we can ensure your release stays on track.
​
Q: Who will be mixing my project? A: Every project is mixed personally by Adam Whittaker. Unlike many online mixing services that outsource to juniors, you are working directly with a Top 1% globally ranked engineer (via Muso.AI) with 20+ years of experience and over 2 billion streams.
​​​
Q: What is included in the mixing service? A: I provide a "master-ready" mix. This includes all necessary technical work and every ounce of my creative effort to make something great for you. You receive the main mix plus alternative versions (Instrumental, Acappella, etc.) at no extra cost.
​
Q: Will my music be ready for Spotify, Radio, and Apple Music? A: Absolutely. My mixes are engineered to stand up proudly next to commercial releases. I’ve worked with artists who have gone on to sign with Capitol Records and achieve national radio airplay; your music will be delivered at that same professional caliber.
​
Q: Is there a guide for preparing my files? A: Yes. To ensure a smooth session, I provide a comprehensive File Prep Guide.
