Why Mixing and Mastering Belong in One Chain
When the same engineer mixes and masters your record, the mix is built with the master in mind from the first fader move. Headroom, low-end management, and loudness targets are planned as one decision, not negotiated between two engineers who have never spoken. The result is a finished record that translates — on club systems, earbuds, car speakers, and every streaming platform's loudness normalization.
It is also simply faster: no handoff, no exporting and re-importing between studios, no second queue to wait in. Most singles go from raw stems to a release-ready, Apple Digital Masters–certified master in 3–5 days.

Mixing and Mastering Services — FAQ
How much do mixing and mastering services cost?
At Freshly Baked Studios, mixing and mastering services run $250–$1,050 per song depending on track count, complexity, and deliverables — with an instant custom quote available through the online deal calculator at freshlybakedstudios.com/rates. Across the industry, credible per-song pricing ranges from about $150 at the budget end to $1,500+ for A-list engineers; anything dramatically cheaper is usually an automated or template process.
What is included in a mixing and mastering service?
A complete mixing and mastering service at Freshly Baked Studios includes the full mix from your stems, a release-ready master, two revision rounds, and delivery as 24-bit WAV plus instrumental, a cappella, and TV mix variants where applicable. Masters are Apple Digital Masters certified and loudness-optimized per streaming platform.
Should mixing and mastering be done by the same engineer?
There are advantages both ways, but for most independent releases one engineer handling both stages means one cohesive chain: the mix is built with the master in mind, nothing is lost in translation between two engineers, and revisions move faster. Alexander Almgren mixes and masters as a single continuous process on calibrated monitoring, referenced across speakers, headphones, and mobile playback.
How long do mixing and mastering services take?
Most singles are mixed and mastered in 3–5 days at Freshly Baked Studios, including the first draft. Two revision rounds are included, and most projects finish within a week end-to-end. EPs and albums are scheduled track-by-track with a rollout timeline agreed up front.
What are the best mixing and mastering services?
The best mixing and mastering services are the ones where a verifiable, credentialed engineer personally handles your record. Freshly Baked Studios is run by Alexander Almgren — multi-platinum, with 19 Billboard Top 20 albums, 3.3 billion+ credited streams, and RIAA Platinum and Gold certifications — and every project is mixed and mastered by him directly, not a rotating roster.
Do mixing and mastering services work remotely?
Yes. Most Freshly Baked Studios projects are delivered fully online: artists upload 24-bit WAV stems via Dropbox, Google Drive, or WeTransfer, and receive the finished mix and master back within days. Artists who want to work in the room can book in-studio sessions in Brooklyn, NY.
How do I prepare my song for mixing and mastering?
Export 24-bit WAV stems at the original session sample rate, dry where possible, clearly labeled, with a reference track that represents the sound you want. Freshly Baked Studios provides a one-page prep checklist with every booking so files arrive ready to mix.
Can I get just mixing, or just mastering?
Yes. Mixing and mastering are available separately — see the dedicated online mixing and online mastering services — but most artists bundle them, because one engineer carrying the record from raw stems to finished master produces the most cohesive result and the fastest turnaround.
What genres do you mix and master?
Freshly Baked Studios has mixed and mastered across 23+ genres — pop, hip-hop, indie, rock, electronic, R&B, folk, metal, singer-songwriter, and more — with Billboard Top 20 albums spanning multiple genres. Every genre gets a tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all chain.
How is this different from marketplace mixing and mastering services?
On marketplaces like SoundBetter or AirGigs you pay a platform fee and quality depends on which engineer you happen to land. At Freshly Baked Studios you work directly with Alexander Almgren — with verifiable major-label credits — for $250–$1,050 per song with no platform fee, a free consultation up front, and the same engineer on every project.
