Services (Rates vary depending on the project):

When you hire me as your producer:
 
1. I will sit with you and analyze your songs, and work on ways to enhance the compositions before the recording stage. I will make sure that we both understand where the songs are going, and then we will make a song structure plan (or small recorded demo) before the recording begins.

2. We (Me and you) will record the instrumental for your song, the way you want it to be recorded.
3. When you'll be recording vocals, I will coach you in order to get the best performance that you can. I will be your vocal coach and will make sure that we enhance strong vocal points in your performance, and minimize problems that you may face while recording your vocals.

On to step 2 and 3:

Mixing:

There are 3 things I bring to the table when it comes to mixing:

1. My ears   
2. My experience and my ability to provide great mixes  
3. My gear

Most mixing engineers will agree that the gear is the less important of the 3, because all the best gear in the world will be rendered useless when paired with an inexperienced engineer.

What you pay for is my ability to get your mixes to translate perfectly through various sound systems. You are paying for quality and for accuracy. Let's not forget: A great mix will bring your song to a whole new level and will be more desirable to listeners. As far as the process of mixing, I will compress/EQ the signals, auto-correct vocals if needed, and make your mixes sound as punchy and musical as they can be.

Mastering:

What is mastering? It is the final process of production, where the song gets retouched, EQed, and compressed in order to give the end result a Radio Quality sound. In the 21st Century, this also includes maximizing the volume level of your tracks to compete against songs on the radio. I provide this service, and I also look for master errors(Errors C1 and C2) and correct them (for duplication services).
