Some Pleasantries

There's a lot of information on this page, but not much about me as a person. Let me tell you a bit more about myself and what you can expect from me!

My name is Quro Akamio. Stage name, QMetalMan.
Music has been a passion in my life since I was around 11 years old. I spent some time learning piano, then guitar, and then I got into the world of digital music making in 2019. I joyously went on a journey to make covers of video game music like my favorite guitarist, Jonny Atma. I also moved into writing my own music with inspiration from the great Shady Cicada. His music had a huge influence on my life.

In 2022, I was asked to join
a project for making an hour long Medley of covers of Shady Cicada's music. Then the topic was brought up that someone had to mix it. No one seemed to be very adamant, so I stepped up to the task with my mediocre experience.
In these past 3 years, I've continued to hone and develop that skill with great success. I learned that I love mixing and mastering, and everyday I seem to improve.After all this, I decided to try and make it into something. So, here I am! I look forward to working with you!

Guidlines

The following is what is expected of you if we work together!

  • Stems should be at least 16-bit WAV with a bit rate of 44.1khz or 48khz.

  • Stems should be named clearly and consolidated as much as possible for quick and efficient work flow.

  • NOTE - Some stems will yield a better mix if they are separate (Especially drums and other percussion).

  • The song should have a bar of silence at the start, and be allowed room to go completely silent for one bar at the end to avoid clipping.

  • All stems should be the full length of the song plus the silence, so I do not have to figure out the timing of everything and where it all belongs.

  • I will need the tempo and time signature of the song. The key is optional, but appreciated. (These can usually be sent by embedding them in a MIDI file)

  • I will be sending you drafts as the project goes, unless requested otherwise. I like to be communicative with my work and get feedback and opinions from the person it is for. So please, don’t be afraid to talk to me about the song and give me feedback on the mix.
