Mix Rescue is for a song that is already recorded and still isn't landing.
Kick, bass, and low mids are sitting on top of each other, and the bottom never clears up.
The vocal is forward, but it bites — especially on choruses, esses, or cheap playback.
The song is balanced on paper and still feels flat. Nothing hits when the chorus arrives.
It works in the studio and falls apart in the car, on earbuds, or on a laptop speaker.
Send the stems and the rough mix, plus a reference and notes on what isn't working.
I listen and tell you what is actually in the way, instead of guessing at the whole mix.
I either fix the mix from the stems, or I deliver specific feedback and a recall-ready fix.
You listen back and send notes. Those notes are how the rescue gets tightened.
Enough for me to hear the problem and, when you want a stem fix, to work on the mix itself.
The individual tracks or stem groups, so a fix can be done in the mix rather than on a stereo file alone.
The current mix, so I can hear the version that isn't working.
A song that shows the direction you want, if you have one.
What you already hear: the vocal, the low end, the chorus, the playback system that falls apart.
