The Allegro Sound Studio is now offering mixing services to local musicians and beyond. This is a new program at Allegro, and our students have excelled at learning this new skill set. If you have a song in any genre that you’ve recorded that needs to be mixed or re-mixed, please send us your raw stems. Our students will pick a few of the best songs and will mix them for you, free of change, as part of their final project. In return, please give Allegro credit when credit is due and consider employing the student who mixed your song for future projects. Please help us expand this program and give back to the community. Contact [email protected] for more details. #recordingstudio #recordingartist
