Online Mastering

- and more

 

Hello! My name is Njal Frode—Welcome to my web!

Whether you are looking for mastering only, or full productions, I always work for getting the best result and the right sound and attitude.
Full respect for all music-styles, and I work with everyone from beginners to established professionals.
You can think of me as your personal chef! Only in music!:)
Check if I’m online—if so the chat box is down in the right corner— and you are welcome to have a chat with me!

  • Superior sound quality
  • Helpful, understanding & knowledgeable
  • Always respectful towards artists and their music

Have a listen to this ‘BEFORE’ and ‘AFTER’ mixing and mastering demo…
(please wait for the soundcloud player to load, it can be some few seconds)

 

And, you can listen to music I have mixed and mastered on the sound of my customers page (Spotify-links, iTunes links, and some youtube videos)

 

 

 

— Excellent job Njal!
You got my vocals sounding fantastic

Add extra-versions – mastering



 

 

 

Mixing—€ 250 Euros/song
Includes one 1 hour live-audio-stream session for edits.

 

  • Zip and send all tracks with no fx or eq, all starting from the beginning. Use 24bit (or better)
  • Include your working mix, so I know what you emphasize
  • Send me an email too, with info
  • I will make a mix and send you
  • Then you make a list for the changes you’d like, and we find a time for the online session, and then do the changes and adjustments while you can listen to the live-stream realtime, so you can get the changes done exactly like you want
  • Live-audio session with direct stream from my studio to all standard devices (Mac, PC, Android, iPad) and with integrated chat. (If you like to try out how a live-audio-stream session works – contact me and I’ll set up a live demonstration!)
  • Any changes at a later time are charged hourly rate, and done with the live-session: € 75 Euros per hour
  • I mix with the final sound in mind, so on a one-to-one basis for songs, you can consider the song mastered (no need to buy separate mastering)



The rate for extra versions like: vocal only, instrumental version, stems and similar, is €15 EUR  per extra version.

 


Add extra-versions – mixing



New more hours for live-mixing?
If you (and your customers) need more hours in order to get the mix to the exact spot you need, here is the option to buy extra hours for live mixing.
Sometimes the artist (or your customer – if you are producer/studio) would like to try out this or this, before settling on a final version.


Add extra hours with live mixing – for edits
