BAREFOOT MM26 GEN2 / PRIVATE TRACK CHECK / JP + EN
Many mixes are finished without a reliable view of the lowest octave. CHIBA SOUND STUDIO uses Barefoot Sound MicroMain26 Gen2 monitoring as the main reference, so vocal recording direction, low-end, vocal distance and translation are decided before your track is delivered.

STACKED PRODUCTION
Gear, process and deliverables stack into one workflow.
The layered scroll treatment mirrors the actual work: private diagnosis, monitoring decisions, processing and delivery are not handled as separate disconnected steps.
Private link and release intent
One chorus, references, deadline and delivery target define the scope.
Low end fixed on MicroMain26 Gen2
Kick, bass and vocal distance are judged down to around 30Hz.
Edit, mix and master in context
If the mix must change, we go back instead of forcing the master.
Files for streaming, video or label handoff
WAV, MP3, stems, loudness notes and delivery specs are aligned.
ANONYMIZED PROCESS
Low end is decided first, not rescued last.
Public credits are private by policy. Instead, the diagnostic process is made explicit through anonymous models.
01 / BEFORE
Kick and bass inflate in the same zone
Before loudness, we check who owns 20-120Hz and where masking begins.
02 / WORK
Reference and release target are fixed early
Streaming, video sync and overseas delivery need different decisions. Scope is clarified before processing.
03 / AFTER
The master is checked against real playback
Full-range monitoring, earbuds and phones are checked. If the mix needs to change, we go back instead of forcing the master.

FAQ
Common questions
What files should I send?
Send private links to WAV stems or a 2mix, with BPM, key, reference tracks and deadline if available. If export settings are unclear, ask first.
Can you do mastering only?
Yes. Single-song mastering starts from US$95 / JPY 12,000. Mix problems that cannot be solved in mastering will be explained before payment.
Do you show client credits?
No. Public credits and client audio are private by policy. The service is explained through specs, process, QC and private checks.
Do you handle ongoing label or multiple-song work?
Yes. EPs, tone-matched release series, monthly slots and written production specs can be quoted after scope review.
PRIVATE TRACK CHECK
Send the current version or pre-recording question first.
One chorus is enough. If you have not recorded yet, send the song goal, voice type and recording situation. You will receive a private diagnosis, proposal and quote within 24-48 hours in principle.
The audio and project details are not published. It is fine to stop after the check.
