Mixing and mastering
Pricing is done on a per project basis. I will need information on what kind of project it is, the number of pieces (single or album?), the number of individual tracks per piece and the length of each track(s). I will also need to hear preview of the track.
I also need to know what kind of services you're looking for : Just mixing? Mixing & mastering or just mastering ?
Finally, I need to know what kind of files you'll need delivered in the end, such as a multi stem export for production music, a single master, or a master + instrumental version?

E-book
"Mixing Modern Orchestral Music" was written for composers who already have a general understanding of processing units and techniques, physics of sound, and basic mixing concepts.
This book goes deep into the world of mixing and tackles new ways of processing modern orchestral music. This book is a must have for trailer / media and film composers who want to give that extra edge and polish to their music by learning new orchestral mixing techniques, or musicians who are new to this genre.
The information in this book is particularly targeted towards mixing music that was composed using sample libraries and virtual instruments, but most of the information will still apply to mixing live recordings. You can buy the book on Amazon or directly from me as PDF by emailing me.
Plug-Ins
At the end of 2022, I created an audio Plug-In company called ‘‘JDFactory’’. My goal is to provide useful, minimalistic and easy to use plugins that provide great results. These products have been endorsed by Grammy and BAFTA winning artists. Check them out on the official website!
Mixing Course
I have created a course called ''Mixing Cinematic Music'' in collaboration with Master The Score. It is meant to be the most complete orchestral and cinematic music mixing course out there. It has less of a focus on trailer music (compared to my older course) and goes a lot more in depth and improves upon it with a lot more lessons and more varied mix deconstructions in order to teach you how to approach mixing all kinds of cinematic music.
With over 17 hours of content, MCM includes everything you need to know to make killer orchestral mixes. Check it out by clicking ‘‘learn more’’
Private Lessons
If you are interested in booking a private lesson with me, my rates are 150 EUR per hour. Lessons are done through Zoom. The audio is streamed on a low latency private server accessible through any internet browser in lossless quality so that you can hear what’s going on while communicating with me at the same time. Please contact me for more info.
Mixing Templates
I can create mixing templates for you, essentially pre-mixing your libraries using EQ, panning reverb, so that you have a result that’s 75% there by default and ready to send to clients after a few quick tweaks on your end. Pricing will vary depending on the scale, email me for details.
Mix reviews
Here, you can order a mix review from me. I will listen to your track and list every problem I hear with your mix. Composition and mixing problems are related, so I will make sure to talk about composition issues if needed.
The 1 listen option includes just one feedback email and the 3 listens option includes 2 post-tweaks checks, meaning that you can send me your track two extra times after the initial review and get further feedback about the sound.
Please send your track(s) to joeldolliemixing@gmail.com after payment
