Okay here's the situation. I made a track that I'm pretty satisfied with musically. I have aweful monitoring possibility and mixing skills and especially time is a big issue for me. But I would love to have my track mixed, just for personal enjoyment. Where can I get this done? I know Andi Vax does it but 150euro is more than I'm willing to pay. Any other alternatives?
And please don't give me the typical "do it yourself, it's much more enjoyable and fun". I know it is, but I'd really like someone far more pro do than me do it with this one.
Thanks..

Mixing it yourself will *not* be much more enjoyable and fun. However, it *will* help you develop your own toolset which is much more important in the long run.
If I really had my mind set on someone else doing the mixing for me, I would give them the unmixed version, mix my own version as well then compare the mixes after they get it back to you - that way you have something to compare your own stuff to so you learn, and you also have (hopefully) a more professional sounding mix of your tune.
Best of both worlds!

Hahaha, i must say that myself it seems like a whole job itself with the mixing and mastering.
ORGYTIEM I'M BOOKING YOU FOR THIS!
xD
its really worth it to learn how to do it oneself, saves you a LOT of money and hey, its probably fun to learn new things like that as well?

You can either give the project file straight from your DAW (but this relies on them using the same software as you) or you can give stems like you say, the more the better. If you give stems, the structure is contained in the audio - if all the audio files start at exactly the same point, the structure will be retained.
