The five-track rate applies to five or more separate tracks ordered together in one project. Instrumental, TV, karaoke, and other versions derived from the same track do not count toward that total.
- ReviewTwo rounds of mastering adjustments are included after the first master. If you would like to go further, let me know. I will always tell you before an extra charge applies.
- TimingDelivery is usually within seven business days once the final files and payment have arrived. For five tracks or more, I will suggest a schedule for the whole project.
- PaymentPayment is made before work begins. Japan orders can be paid in JPY by bank transfer or card. International orders can be paid in USD by card or PayPal.
- FilesThe main delivery format is 24-bit WAV. I can also prepare 16-bit/44.1 kHz or Apple Digital Masters files to suit the release.
How it works
Start with the song.
You do not need a finished brief. Share what you know, and we can work out the rest from there.

Tell me about it
Send the track count, release timing, references, and anything you are unsure about. Leave a field blank if you do not know yet.

02
I check the files
I will listen to the material, then reply with the schedule and payment details. Work begins after the final files and payment arrive.

03
Listen and respond
The first master is shared through Kirin OS Collaboration. We use your notes for up to two rounds of adjustments, then I deliver the final files.
A few common questions.
Can I get in touch before the mix is finished?
Yes. If you know the rough track count or release timing, that is enough to start a conversation.
What should I send?
Start with a note about the project. When the mix is ready, I will check the files before mastering begins. If you are unsure how to export them, ask before sending.
Can I send reference tracks?
Yes. Add a listening link to the form, along with a short note about what you would like me to hear in the reference.
Do I need Kirin OS before I contact you?
No. Kirin OS is set up after the project is confirmed. You can start with the form below or by email.
Can I attend the session?
Attended sessions in Japan are welcome. Tell me what you have in mind, and I will come back with possible dates, timing, and a price.
