If its the former the rates shouldn't really matter.
If its the latter than make sure you are clear and upfront about it.
I say this because it can really slow down the process when doing the first.
Saying that Slipp over at BigBB is top notch.
But you didn't mention what kind of music either.
Hi Thrill
this is to mix songs which will then be mastered, and hopefully sold! It's my music. I have mixed my own songs for years but am limited by the fact that first and foremost I'm a songwriter and musician, and the whole recording and mixing process is taking thousands of hours away from writing. Secondly, I have a good front end but not a good mixing end. (Mics - soundelux, aea, royer. A/D - cranesong, EQ - Great River, Mic Pre API).
Thirdly, the style is acoustic or electric rock. It is not pop or commercial sounding however. The acoustic stuff often has three different guitar lines, bass, vocals, percussion - tambourine, shaker, djembe. The electric stuff can be hard and dry to ambient and psychedelic (Hendrix, VU, modern shoegazer rock - slowdive, mazzy star, My Bloody Valentine). Finally I have purely improvisational or live stuff. This summer, I'm trying to first finish an acoustic album. I love dynamics - soft or medium followed by explosive. Hope this helps.
Is BigBB Big Blue Meenie? couldn't find Slipp listed among the engineers.
