Mixing

Mixing at Buffalo is hands-on and detail-driven — track by track, with deep references and a producer's ears. Whether you're after something clean and modern or gluey and characterful, we work with you to land the version of the song you've been hearing in your head.

Whether you've tracked at Buffalo or somewhere else entirely, we can take your stems and turn them into a finished, three-dimensional record.

How a mix session works

1. Send stems

Send 24-bit/48kHz stems (or higher), pre-faders printed flat with no master-bus processing. Include a rough mix and any reference tracks you love. We'll review the session and come back with anything missing.

2. We mix

Mix happens in our purpose-built control room on full-range monitors, with the song's character at the front of every decision. You'll get a first pass and a working revision window.

3. Revisions and stems

Two rounds of revisions are included. Final delivery is a 24-bit master print plus optional stem prints (drums, bass, guitars, keys, vocals, FX) for the mastering stage.

Attended vs. remote

Attended mix days are in the Sheffield control room with the artist or producer in the room — common for finishing albums or signing-off singles. Remote mixing is the default for clients outside the North; we send working mixes via WeTransfer or Drive and turn around revisions quickly.
