ARCHIVAL AND DELIVERY OF MIX DATA
The mixing methods used at Nexus Audio are our engineers intellectual property. We take pride in our craft and have spent thousands of hours gaining the skills our clients trust. To protect our methodology and workflow, we do not provide our mix data to anyone. This includes plugin settings, mixed Pro Tools session files, etc. We will gladly send you uncompressed audio files or processed stems from the mix. All Archival services are billed at the engineer's hourly rate. Stems are audio files created from each sound with mixing embedded; you can load them up 10 years from now and hear the same mix (while the same might not be easily done for current Pro Tools sessions file types at that time). To receive any music or files by us after after your session, your account must be in good standing with no money owed.
