Meet Your Engineer

"I know exactly what it’s like to have a hit in your head but a 'bedroom' sound in your speakers."I’m Joseph Redding. I’ve spent more than 10 years as an artist and producer, recording and creating music in the same kinds of less-than-perfect environments many independent artists work in. I also earned my degree in Audio Production because I wanted to understand not just how to make music, but how to make it translate.
That experience is why I started Big Bags Studio. I help independent Trap and R&B artists turn home-recorded songs into polished records without losing the feeling that made the song work in the first place.
I’m not here to change your record into what I think it should be. My job is to understand what you were trying to create and help you get it across the finish line.
Your vision. Your record. Finished.

How It Works
A simple process from your rough mix to the finished record.

1. Send Your Project
Fill out the project form with your song details, track count, and what you need help with.
2. Get Your Quote
I’ll review the project and confirm the scope, final price, and turnaround before any payment is required.
3. Send Your Files
Once you're ready to move forward, you'll receive instructions for sending your properly prepared session files.
4. I Mix Your Record
I’ll build the mix around your vision, focusing on the vocals, low end, balance, depth, dynamics, and overall feel of the record.
5. Review & Revise
You’ll receive the mix for review and can request up to two revisions included with your mixing service.
6. Get Your Final Mix
Once approved, you'll receive your finished, release-ready mix.

Ready to Finish Your Record?
Send me your project details. I’ll review your song and let you know exactly what it needs, what it will cost, and what happens next.

Export individual tracks as WAV or AIFF files. 24-bit or 32-bit floating-point files are preferred. Please do not convert your multitrack files to MP3 before sending them.
2.Sample Rate
Export your files at the same sample rate used in your recording/production session. Do not change the sample rate specifically for submission.
3.Levels & Clipping
Make sure individual tracks and your master output are not digitally clipping. There is no required peak level such as −6 dBFS or −18 dBFS. Do not lower otherwise properly recorded tracks simply to reach a specific number.
4.Track Alignment
All exported tracks should begin from the same starting point so they remain correctly aligned when imported into the mixing session. Consolidate or bounce each track from the same location, even if the audio on that track begins later in the song.
5.Vocal Processing
Provide lead and background vocals without reverb or delay whenever possible.
If Auto-Tune, Melodyne, distortion, vocal effects, filters, or other processing is an intentional part of the sound, you may provide the processed version. When possible, also include an unprocessed version and clearly label both.
6.Instrumental / Beat Files
When multitracks or stems are available, provide them rather than only a stereo beat.
Remove master-bus limiters, clippers, or other processing that was added primarily for loudness before exporting. If master-bus processing is an intentional part of the production sound, provide a version with that processing as a reference.If only a stereo instrumental is available, submit the highest-quality version you have. Big Bags Studio will determine whether it is suitable for mixing before the project begins.7.Track Organization
Clearly label each track according to its contents—for example: Kick, Snare, 808, Lead Vocal, Background Vocal, Guitar, Keys, etc.
Include the song's tempo (BPM) when known. If the song contains tempo changes, include that information as well.
8.Reference Mix
Include your current rough mix whenever possible. The rough mix helps communicate your intended vocal levels, effects, production choices, and overall direction.
9.Packaging
Place all project files in one clearly named folder and compress the folder into a ZIP file for transfer. Include the artist name and song title in the folder name.
File Problems
If submitted files contain technical problems that prevent the project from being mixed properly, Big Bags Studio may request corrected files before work continues. File correction, restoration, conversion, realignment, or other preparation work outside the standard mixing service may require an additional quote. Any additional charges will be discussed before that work is performed.
