We don't believe in set prices for all projects. Each project is unique and our goal is to provide tailored services in order to reach outstanding results. We dedicate absolute attention to each project while ultimately keeping quality as our main focus. Please keep reading this page to have a better understanding about our pricing method.
How much does it cost to mix a song or an album?
There are a few available methods that we use to bill our clients, and you can choose which one is best suited for your needs:
• Per hour
• Fixed price per song / album / compilation
• A combination of both
Per Hour
This is the most common pricing method if you don’t have a fixed budget for your production needs and you want to have unlimited requests of changes on the mixes and mastering.
Don’t worry about the final price being a surprise: after the first base mix, you can request all the changes that you want and we’ll provide an estimate on how long it would take to do them first, so that you are always in complete control on how much you’re going to spend.
The usual starting rate for this method is 30 Euros per hour, but you could have considerable discounts if your project is not a short one. The amount of work that can be done in one hour really depends on what we’re working with, so contact us to get a quote and more information about it.
Fixed Price
If you have a limited budget or if you want to know exactly how much you’ll spend beforehand, this is the best way to go. We can also use a combination of the two methods providing a discounted fixed price for the base mixes and then charging by the hour for future possible requests.
The prices for this method take into consideration how many changes will be included (usually more than needed), the time-frame in which it has to be completed and the amount of work that has to be done: this depends a lot from the quality of your recording and, of course, if you’ve recorded it with us you don’t have to worry about that!
Something important to consider is that there are a few settings that once done can be quickly transferred from a song to another, and some of them are very time-consuming (like the drums settings). For this reason, if you have to mix multiple songs that were recorded together (same equipment and instruments), the fixed price for the project will be a lot lower than doing just one song. To give you an idea, 2 or 3 single songs could easily cost as much as a whole album of 10-12 songs. Before we can provide a fixed price, we have to check the recordings and get a feel of your expectations, so please give us all your details and a demo to help us give you an approximate quote!

Alternative Rock, Alternative Metal, ProgressiveDavide led us through the production of our first album “The Ancestor” warning us about the consequences that arrangements, tones and dynamics would bring to the final result; thanks to his detailed overview and meticulous attitude about work, we accomplished exactly what we wanted our songs to sound like. Give some time to get along with him and you’ll certainly know it’s worth it. -

DrummerI worked with Davide on my brother Michael Harris’s album “Chemical Compositions”. I was already familiar with Davide’s work on an Antoine Fafard album and was very impressed with the overall mix, and of course the tone of the drums. So when my brother told me that he had hired Davide to mix his album, excited was an understatement. I remember the first mix of a song that we received from Davide and thinking “how could it get any better?”, And then he followed up a day or so later with another mix of the same song for us to compare, to see which mix we liked better, and yes, it was even better than the first mix. I’ve played on over 20 albums in my career and by far this is the best my drums have ever sounded. Huge! With Davide being a drummer himself, he knows how to get big killer drum tones that don’t sound fake. That being said, the drums really cut through on the mix but do not bury anything. Davide was able to bring out every instrument on this recording in an incredible way. He’s got a great ear, a great attitude, great suggestions while mixing, and is willing to put 100% of his talent and knowledge into the mix, and won’t stop until you are happy. Thanks Davide! Hope to do this again! -
Michael Harris
Guitarist & ComposerImmediately upon meeting Davide, I could tell he had the knowledge, work ethic, and enthusiasm that I needed to mix my record. He stayed in touch during the whole process and was very attentive to detail and insistent that myself and brother Brian were pleased with the results every step of the way. Beyond having a fabulous ear for all instruments, Davide truly enjoys what he does, and it shows! -
From the moment I first heard the amazing talent & mixes of the Antoine Fafard albums, and all the incredible drum sounds achieved on it, I said to myself: "WOW!!!!, I NEED TO KNOW WHO MIXED THIS NOW!". I was completely blown away by what Davide Sgualdini had done in the mix/mastering of Antoine Fafard albums/tunes! Davide's attention to detail, clarity, punch and over-all sound was so inspiring to my ears. I am honored to have Davide "accept & agree" to work with me and him mixing my future drumming tracks for my Youtube channel videos/performances. Thank you so much Davide for your trust, involvement and most of all, your sincere talent! You will bring my drumming/sound in reaching the utmost "sonic level" due to your mixing expertise! Thrilled is a understatement!

Keyboardist, Drummer & Composer (John McLaughlin & the 4th Dimension / Allan Holdsworth / Independent)The day Antoine Fafard discovered Davide Sgualdini and introduced his work to me was a revelation. What a day of joy that was. Like Ken Scott did for the Mahavishnu Orchestra album “Birds Of Fire”, the approach and sonic vision he brought to the mixing of my drum kit (on the album “Sphere” by Antoine Fafard) was entirely stellar, refreshingly exciting and had a real unique character that was instantly, MAJORLY arousing to my ears and spirit. I was astounded. At that point he became the new standard for me – an engineer with whom I look forward to working on many projects together. His expertise and relentless, tireless dedication to whatever he’s working on is only the “icing on the cake” element to his vastly superior abilities as an engineer/producer. Davide’ a rare one. And an equally beautiful guy to work with. I cannot endorse his all around excellence highly enough! Thank you Davide sir! -
Any musician will tell you - the mixing process is a crucial part in music production. Davide Sgualdini is a master of the sonic world and can make a huge difference to any project, whichever the musical style is. He continuously dedicates careful attention to the music he works on in order to elevate it to its highest potential. Since I began to work with Davide, my music has never sounded better. I can confidently say that there are two periods in my musical life before and after Studio LaMorte!

I have known Davide's accurate attention to details since I started recording professionally with him when I was 27 years old. I can only say that you will rarely find a person who takes you to the core of your ideas in such a short frame of time and succesfully. Artistic delivery is an extremely delicate and difficult process and Davide knows well how to use ears and advice. All the instruments involved in the songs he works on become never orphans. He gives you a mark that helps your musical world last regretless with the passing of time. If you're a serious, interesting musician you should really give your projects under his wing.
-
Davide’s attention to detail is second to none, that’s why I totally trust him for my projects. If you're aiming for a great and professional sound, Studio LaMorte is your choice!
