What You Get With Each Package

Production

Does your song feel flat or like it’s missing momentum? We help shape your track so it flows naturally from start to finish, with energy, clarity, and impact.

Transition Effects
Smooth, powerful transitions that move your listener effortlessly from one section to the next. Whether your verses need more lift or your drops need more impact, we enhance momentum without overdoing it.

Song Structuring
Sometimes a song just doesn’t flow the way it should. We provide a second set of experienced ears to refine your arrangement, improve pacing, and make sure each section serves the song.

Additional Instruments
If something feels missing, we can fill out your track with carefully selected live instruments, samples, or plugin-based elements that enhance the vibe without cluttering the mix.

Editing

Clean, professional editing is the foundation of a great mix. We make sure your recordings are tight, natural, and free of distractions so the performance shines.

Basic Editing
We take care of the essentials — removing unwanted breaths and silence, tightening timing, aligning vocals, and cleaning up mouth clicks and other small imperfections.

Advanced Editing
Using industry-standard restoration tools, we can take a sub-par recording with a great performance and bring it up to a professional standard. This includes removing background noise, reducing room reverb, fixing clipping, and restoring clarity without damaging the original take.

Instrumental Mixing

The foundation of any great mix starts with the instrumental. Atreus XO offers professional instrumental mixing services designed to bring clarity, balance, and impact to your track—whether you're working with a 2-track beat or full multitrack stems.

2-Track Beat Mixing
Working with a stereo beat? We enhance clarity, balance, and space to help your vocals sit properly in the mix. Through EQ, dynamics, and subtle processing, we shape the instrumental so it supports your performance without overpowering it.

Multitrack Mixing
For full control, multitrack mixing allows us to individually process each element of your instrumental. This gives us the flexibility to shape tone, depth, and dynamics at a detailed level—resulting in a cleaner, more polished, and professional sound.

Balance & Translation
Every mix is refined to ensure it translates across all systems—from headphones to cars to club speakers—while maintaining punch, clarity, and consistency.

Vocal Mixing

Vocals are usually the most important element in a mix. Our goal is to make sure your vocals sound polished, expressive, and perfectly integrated into the track — while still feeling unique to you.

Vocal Tone
Getting the vocal to sit just right is crucial. We use a combination of modern plugins, hardware, and classic emulations to shape tone, clarity, and presence so your vocals cut through naturally without sounding harsh or over-processed.

Vocal Effects
Creative effects can turn vocals into a defining element of a track. From subtle ambience to bold, character-driven processing, we carefully design effects that enhance the song and elevate the overall vibe.

Harmonization
Sometimes a vocal needs a little lift to add movement or emotion. We hand-tune additional vocal layers at complementary intervals to create harmonies that add depth, melody, and musical interest without distracting from the lead.

Session Vocals
Need an additional voice or a specific style to complete your track? We work with a roster of talented session vocalists who can bring a new dimension to your song. Session vocalist fees vary and are not included in package pricing. Please inquire for details.

Vocal Tuning

Touching up vocal pitch is standard in modern music. Whether you’re after a bold, modern sound or something completely transparent and natural, we choose the tuning approach that best serves your song and your budget.

Auto-Tune
A defining sound in many mainstream genres. We dial in the exact settings you’re looking for — from obvious, stylized tuning to subtle correction that still feels contemporary.

Manual Tuning
Some performances need a more careful touch. Manual tuning allows us to fine-tune individual notes by hand, preserving emotion and nuance while improving overall pitch accuracy.

Melodyne
When natural-sounding correction is the priority, we turn to Melodyne. It’s one of the most powerful vocal tuning tools available, allowing for precise adjustments that maintain the original feel of the performance.

Mastering

Mastering is one of the most misunderstood stages of finishing a song. We handle this final step for you — ensuring your track is loud, clear, and competitively polished so it stands up next to professional releases.

Full Master
We use master-grade plugins and hardware to balance your song and prepare it for distribution. Depending on the needs of your project, this can range from efficient, preset-based adjustments to a more detailed, hands-on approach that’s carefully refined throughout the process to make your track hit hard without sacrificing clarity.

Speaker Tests (Translation)
One of the most important aspects of mastering is translation — how well your track sounds across different playback systems. We test your master on a variety of speakers and headphones, from earbuds to car audio systems, to ensure it translates consistently everywhere.

Multi-Day Adjustments
Sometimes a track sounds different after fresh ears and time away. When needed, we make adjustments over multiple days to fine-tune balance, loudness, and detail, ensuring the final master sounds right from every angle.

Revisions

When you receive your mix and master, it’s normal to want a few tweaks to better match your vision. That’s never a problem. Our packages include a set number of revision rounds so we can dial everything in exactly the way you want.

Revision Rounds
Each package includes a defined number of revision rounds. A revision round allows you to submit as many notes and changes as you’d like at once, helping keep the process efficient and focused.

Collaborative Process
We treat revisions as part of the creative process, not a hassle. Clear communication and consolidated feedback help us make precise adjustments while keeping your project moving forward smoothly.

Alternative Mixes

Many of our packages include alternate versions of your mix and master — designed for real-world use cases beyond the main release, so your song is ready for every platform and situation.

Performance Mix
A version of your mix tailored specifically for live performance. This can include muted vocals, adjusted levels, or changes designed to work seamlessly with backing tracks or a live band setup. Just let us know what you need.

Radio Edit
A clean version of your song suitable for radio play, with explicit language removed while preserving the flow and impact of the original track.

DJ Pack
Included with select packages, the DJ Pack provides essential assets such as your instrumental, acapella, and custom DJ intros — perfect for clubs, mixes, and promotional use.

Remix Pack
Exclusive to our Gold Package, the Remix Pack includes fully mixed stems, BPM, and song key information, making it easy to send your track to DJs and producers for official remixes and collaborations.
