What Happens After You Book a Session?

Once you book a session with MORTY Audio Lab, here is exactly what happens next.

After You Place Your Booking

Once your booking is confirmed, you will receive your order confirmation through the website.

From there, the next step is getting your project files over to me. This usually means sending a download link through Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, iCloud Drive or another agreed file-sharing option.

You do not need to send physical items. Everything is handled online.

Sending Your Files

Before the session starts, I need the right files for the work you have booked.

For mixing, this usually means stems or multitracks, a rough bounce, reference tracks, BPM, key and notes.

For mastering, this usually means a stereo WAV export of the final mix, a reference version if you have one, reference tracks, BPM, key and notes.

If you are unsure what to send, you can contact me before the session starts and I will point you in the right direction.

Checking the Project

Once I receive your files, I will check that everything is there and that the session can start properly.

This means checking the link works, the files download correctly, the audio opens properly, and nothing obvious is missing.

If something is unclear, missing or unusable, I will contact you before getting properly stuck into the work. It is always better to sort that early than waste time during the session.

 

Understanding What You Want

Your notes matter.

Before I start working, I will look at what you have said about the track, what you want improved, and any references you have sent.

You do not need to use technical language. Clear, honest notes are more useful than overthinking it.

If the vocal feels buried, say that. If the bass feels muddy, say that. If you want the track louder, cleaner, warmer, tighter or more polished, say that.

The more clearly I understand what you are aiming for, the better I can use the session time.

How the Session Time Is Used

Your booking gives focused time on your track.

A half-day booking gives up to 4 hours of focused work. This is usually best for smaller or more focused jobs, such as mastering, final polish, edits, vocal clean-up, mix improvements, export prep or preparing a track for release.

A full-day booking gives up to 8 hours of focused work. This is better suited to more detailed work, such as full mix and master work, editing, balance decisions, EQ, compression, effects, low-end control, loudness checks and final file preparation.

The aim is to complete as much necessary work as possible within the booked time, without rushing the track or forcing decisions that need more care.

What Happens During the Work

During the session, I focus on the areas that matter most for the booking.

That might mean balancing the vocal, tightening the low end, cleaning up harshness, making the drums feel stronger, shaping the overall tone, improving loudness, preparing exports, or getting the final master ready.

Every track is different, so the exact work depends on what you send and what the track needs.

I do not treat every song like a template. The goal is to make the track sound better while keeping the original direction and feel intact.

What You Receive Back

Once the work is complete, your finished files will be delivered digitally.

This usually means a download link with labelled audio files, such as WAV and MP3 versions where relevant.

For mastering, this may include the final mastered WAV and MP3.

For mixing and mastering, this may include the final mix, final master and any agreed export versions.

The exact delivery depends on the booking and what the project needs.

What the Revision Round Means

One revision round is included where applicable.

A revision is for small changes after delivery. This could be something like adjusting the vocal level slightly, softening a harsh section, bringing up a detail, or making a small balance change.

A revision is not the same as starting the track again from scratch or changing the entire direction after the work has been completed.

The clearer the notes are before the session, the better the first delivery will be.

If More Time Is Needed

Sometimes a track needs more time than expected.

This can happen if the files are messy, the vocal needs a lot of clean-up, there are export problems, the mix needs deeper work, or the track needs more care than the original booking allows.

If extra time is needed, I will explain that clearly before any further work continues.

The aim is to be honest about what is possible within the booking, rather than rush the track just to force it through.

How Communication Works

Most communication will happen by email.

If I need something from you, I will contact you using the email linked to your booking. This might be to ask for missing files, clarify a note, check a reference, or confirm something before delivery.

Please keep an eye on your inbox after booking, especially if your session is time-sensitive.

Turnaround Time

Turnaround time depends on the booking type, the condition of the files, the amount of work needed, and my current workload.

A half-day or full-day booking gives focused working time on your track. It does not mean the track will be rushed just to force delivery within that window.

Once I have checked the files and understand what is needed, I can give a clearer idea of expected turnaround. If there is a deadline, tell me before the session starts so I can confirm whether it is realistic.

If extra time is needed, I will discuss that with you clearly before further work continues.

 

Ready to Book?

The process is simple.

You book the session, send the files, I check the project, carry out the work, and deliver the finished audio back to you digitally.

The better the files and notes are at the start, the smoother everything runs.

If you are unsure about anything before booking, send a message first. I would rather help you get the project set up properly than have you guess and send the wrong files.
