Mixing
What's the difference between a home studio and a Proffesional Studio? EVERYTHING! There are many reasons that radio songs sound better than home studio recordings. The biggest reason is the mixing of the final project. Without the right Mix, and Hit song is just a regular tune.
Avalon Studios also has Mastering Services available. Contact us and we can put together a package including Recoding, Mixing, and Mastering to help you cut back on cost, not quality!

IMPORTANT:
- Digital audio file storage and active file usage
- Disclaimers and policies
- Data back-up recommendations during and after sessions.
In this age of digital recording, audio file and session file usage and storage have become major issues for studios and clients. Due to the unreliable nature of this digital world, Avalon will not guarantee the safe use or storage of digital audio files. We strive to do our best with audio file manipulation and storage, but there are many things out of our control. For example there are often "bugs" in operating systems and attendant software; hardware componets that suddenly become defective in hard drive power supplies and IC boards; glitches in the operations of complex computer functions, etc., that cause from time to time losses in data. Although such losses are infrequent, Avalon accepts no liability for the usage or storage of any data or audio files.
It is necessary for every client to provide for digital audio file storage. There are several ways to do this:
1. Purchase a hard drive from Avalon that audio and session files may be stored on.
2. Bring your own Avalon studio compatible hard drive(s) to the session.
3. Purchase blank compact discs or DVDs from Avalon for archiving any files that may have been originally stored/used on an in-house Avalon drive.
We strongly advise that you buy or provide a second hard drive for backing up all important audio files in the event the primary drive(s) in use should fail for any reason. This should be done throughout your studio session. This is similar to backing up any important data files in any business, typically on a daily or timed basis as many software programs automatically do, to hopefully be protected if anything were to happen to the primary storage or use of such data. Again we strongly advise you maintain a backup storage solution for all important files. Avalon will not be responsibile for any losses of data during use or during storage of any such files. Avalon recommends you instruct the recording engineer to backup your data at close intervals throughout your session to your secondary back up solution such as a second hard drive
We advise you to then take your hard drives, DVDs or compact discs with you upon departure from the studio. You may leave the above items at Avalon at your own risk and peril if you choose to do so. Failure to make the above arrangements will result in your audio and session files being unavailable for use. Avalon assumes no responsibility and makes no representations either express or implied regarding safety and replacement of any hard drives, master or other audio files, or any type of recordings.
Audio and session file transfer time is billable at normal studio rates.

Payment/Booking Policies
A deposit will be required to confirm all studio bookings. Such deposit shall be equal to 50%
of the cost of the total time booked. Deposit must be received ten days prior to session. "Avalon" reserves the right to waive such deposit requirement in its unfettered discretion. Studio bookings
for which no deposit has been received by "Avalon" shall be subject to change or cancellation
should management so decide, without notice to client.
Notice of a client's intent to cancel a session must be received by "Avalon" no later than

be liable for the cost of one half of the time booked. Client's deposit as stated above may
be applied by "Avalon" in partial satisfaction of such liability. Sessions cancelled the same day
of the scheduled session will be liable for the total cost of the booked time.
Half the amount of unused time booked will be charged to the client irrespective of client's
failure to arrive for a session on time or in the event that the client must leave the session
early, or if the session is completed before the booked time has expired.
Payment in full for materials and fees is due and payable immediately following each

storage format including but not limited to audio, video, smpte, midi, or other file types, or equipment
of any kind or nature and shall hold "Avalon" harmless from any and all damage that might
occur to said articles for any reason. In any event, "Avalon's" liability shall be limited to
the replacement cost of an unrecorded tape or hardrive of comparable value. "Avalon's" liability with
respect to "downtime" of any and all studio sessions as a result from equipment malfunction
or availability, personnel, hired musicians, acts of nature or public utility companies, etc., shall
be limited solely to the studio time of such booked session; and client(s) agree to hold
"Avalon" harmless from any and all damages from such "downtime".
"Avalon" makes no warranties either express or implied other than those contained herein.
"Avalon" shall not be liable for unforeseen of consequential damages of any kind. Should "Avalon" be unable to conduct a booked session for any reason, then "Avalon" warrants that it shall re-book such canceled booking at another time that is mutually available to "Avalon" and the client.
