Turnaround Time:
For Mixing and (or) Mastering, Turnaround time is the time to receive your FIRST Mix and (or) Master for review. Completion of this service depends on how many revisions are needed after you review your first mixed and (or) mastered song(s). Once you approve of your masters, a download link to the Hi-Res WAV file(s) will be delivered by email.
Average turnaround time for Mixing and (or) Mastering is 3-7 business days.
Average turnaround time for Revision requests is 2-5 business days.
All orders are rendered on a first come first serve basis.
All turnaround times stated on our website or by email are only an estimation. In any event, the turnaround time may be extended any time after purchase.
Rush Delivery may or may not be available.
Any additional editing, pitch correction, or other services we are being hired for that are not Mixing and Mastering will add additional days to your Turnaround time. The amount of additional days may vary based on the additional work requested, and the amount of additional work involved in your project.
Revisions:
Each Mixing and (or) Mastering package includes a certain amount of revisions (as listed on the package).
The revisions phase is designed for minor adjustments to your mix and (or) master.
Below are the details of what IS and IS NOT included in your allowed revisions:
What is included with revisions:
Adjustments to the mix and (or) master (mix/master levels, individual instrument or vocal levels, EQ, compression, Reverb & Delay FX levels, etc.).
What is NOT included with revisions:
Adding any new instruction that was not mentioned in the original order Form.
Additional Production.
Changes to the arrangement.
Any type of additional editing, pitch correction, etc.
New or replacement file submissions (Vocal files, instrument files, etc.).
The revision process typically goes like this:
We send the “Full Mix”, which is all of the Mixed and (or) mastered songs.
You spend up to 7 days gathering a list of minor revisions for each song (“Turn up the lead at 01:37. Turn down the backing vocals at 02:48” etc). We recommend listening on up to 5 different playback systems.
You send in your list of revisions by replying to the email you received with your FIRST Mix and (or) Master for review.
We add the revision request to our queue and complete it during the next available revision calendar slot.
Rinse and repeat for revision round 2 and 3.
By revision round 3, 99% of artists have a Mix and (or) Master that they are ready to receive final masters for. If you’re part of the 1% who need additional revisions, they can be completed for additional fees.
The entire revision process must be completed within 30 days of first file delivery. After 30 days, the project will be marked as complete and the most recent version(s) will be delivered as the final master(s) and (or) mix(es).
Mix & Master Approval:
Once You approve of your Mixed and (or) Mastered song(s), there is no longer the option to have anything changed (without incurring additional fees), even if additional free revisions remain.
Storage:
Polygone Factory is not responsible for storage of client project files and (or) masters. Once your project is marked as completed, the material you’ve sent to us along with the project file(s) will be removed from our systems after 30 days. After this point, any services such as revisions, instrumental exports, performance backing track exports, or any other service will no longer be available for the specific song unless you resend your material and have the song Mixed and (or) Mastered again.
