Hip-Hop
Mixing.
808s that sit. Vocals that cut without spitting. Hi-hats that feel right at any volume. We mix trap, drill, boom-bap, R&B, alternative hip-hop, and crossover with a major-label sonic and indie pricing.
What we focus on
- 808 management. Sub-bass that translates from car speakers to AirPods to club PAs. Sidechained to the kick. Gain-staged to the vocal.
- Vocal upfront. Lead vocal sits on top of the beat without sounding like it lives in another room. Clean de-essing. Doubles tucked. Ad-libs panned with intent.
- Glue. Beats from different producers get bus-compressed to feel like one song. Tape saturation, parallel compression, master-bus tone shaping.
- Loudness for streaming. -8 to -10 LUFS integrated. Apple Digital Masters certified for Apple Music. Spotify-friendly without choking dynamics.

Stem prep tip. Print 808s as a separate stem from your kick, even if they are sidechained. Send dry vocals AND a wet reference of how you want them to sound. Speeds up the first pass.
