FIND YOUR ANSWERS

  • My expertise is solely within the realm of (extreme) metal music, more so in the direction of contemporary music. I specialize in the genres of deathcore, technical death metal, progressive metal, djent, thall and metalcore.

  • On the service examples page you can hear different examples of final products, including the before samples to compare.

  • Each individual service has a base price you can find on the pricing page. If your order consists of a multitude of services I will provide a quotation that accounts for the total amount of time we’ll need to fulfill your request. Usually the price will go down if you order more services at the same time. Example:

    • 3-minute track (mixing only) €100

    • 3-minute track (mastering only) €30

    • 3-minute track (mixing and mastering package) €120

    Prices may vary

  • The amount of time it takes to fulfill your order might vary greatly depending on your order size and package and will always be an estimation. Individual times may be:

    • Mixing - 10 business days

    • Mastering - 5 business days

    • DI-reamping - 5 business days

    • MIDI drum programming - 10 business days

    • Music production - 5 business days

    • Songwriting assistance - 5 business days

    • Revisions - 5 business days per revision

    If for example you’d order a mixing and mastering package of a single 3-minute track the order time will be lowered to a total of 10 days.

  • If you choose to work with us you’ll have to fill out an order form. Based on your specific needs you’ll have to provide us with your project’s files (stems, guitar/bass DI’s, etc.). While completing filling out the order form, you’ll be attaching said files to the order form (in accordance to the Terms and Conditions).

  • When you send out the completed order form we’ll get back to you within 5 business days with either a quotation or a request in regards to your provided information in the order form. Upon delivery of the quotation you’ll be expected to pay through bank transfer. Upon receiving the payment we’ll be starting to work on your project!

  • Reamping is a process where a direct signal (DI) of an instrument (usually guitar or bass) can be rerecorded through a different setup. When recording it is common to parallel record both the raw direct signal of your guitar and the sound you are using at that moment, which would be the output of the amplifier. This enables you to play through an amped signal (a lot more fun than a dry guitar) while allowing the flexibility to ‘play’ your dry guitar sound through a different chain at a later time.

    NiUstudio has access to the latest edition of the wonderful Fractal Axe FX III MK2 Turbo, which has a built-in reamping function in addition to a massive library of guitar amplifiers, cabinets and pedals. This provides limitless experimentation of guitar sounds to find the perfect signal chain for your song!

    Go to the samples page to find examples of the same ‘dry’ guitar signal, but sent through a couple different amps and cabinets to get a feel of sounds that might work for you!

  • The gear directory will provide you with a lot of insight on the stuff that I use! On this page you find all my individual instruments - where they were used, their stories, what they sound like. You will also find a list of my Axe FX sounds and more exclusive non-released media!
