In-house Mixing – rates from £20 per hour
BonaFideStudio is run by a powerful Macintosh computer with a multitude of plug-ins, but also has a superb Allen & Heath GSR24 desk, true modern classic and a variety of analogue outboards including valve and solid-state compressors. We are able to mix either ‘in the box’ or ‘old school’ depending on your preference.
As the focus of the studio is based around our Macintosh you are able to bring in projects that were recorded elsewhere if you have the audio files. That means the recording you loved whilst you were playing in the studio but sounded terrible when you got home can be brought in at BonaFideStudio and saved!
Our Producers and Engineers are also trained as Mastering engineers so even if you decide not to get the track mastered at BonaFideStudio you can be confident that your mix will not change radically once it leaves our premises.
Online Mixing
The online mixing service offers a more accessible alternative to working personally at BonaFideStudio, providing musicians and producers all over the world with the engineering excellence that makes us the perfect studio for mixing your song.
Send us the complete raw audio for your project via we transfer. Each audio track will be processed and mixed individually for maximum sound quality. The mix is then balanced and treated for loudness, depth and clarity. A full mastering set-up is applied to the track creating a polished final result.
As our engineers won’t be working with you in person, it’s important for us to gather as much information as possible about how you’d like your song to sound. So please send us your ideas.
Email us for instructions on how to upload your track(s). Once received, BonaFideStudio will contact you by email or phone to discuss the mix. When the mix is ready, a download link will be emailed to you. Turn-around is usually 4 to 5 working days.

Online Mastering
Mastering is responsible for making your music sound as glossy as the rest of your CDs and we use the finest UAD precision digital mastering tools available to achieve that. It is the final polish to make your music sound professional. It is also the source from which all copies will be produced via methods such as pressing, duplication or replication. Today, the format of choice is digital masters. Analogue masters such as audiotapes are still in use, although, it looks like the industry is slowly phasing this medium out.
The source material is fine-tuned through equalization and audio level compression and rendered (In a tonal context) as a cohesive audio program. The new (“Mastered”) source material is also put in the proper order at this stage. This is commonly called “the assembly or track sequencing”. More tasks such as editing, pre-gapping, levelling, fading in and out, noise reduction and other signal restoration and enhancement processes can be applied as part of the mastering stage.
Email us for instructions on how to upload your track(s). Once received, BonaFideStudio will contact you by email or phone to discuss the mastering.

Online Mastering is convenient, cost-effective and by BonaFideStudio you are choosing uncompromising quality.
