test mix

Helping Labels Release Records That Stand Out

I want to make sure the final mix does justice to the passion and talent your artists bring to the table—without adding to your to-do list or cutting into your budget.

Who I am

I’m Jon Lesher, a mixing engineer obsessed with guitar-driven music—rock, punk, metal, alt, and everything in between.

I know it can be tough to keep releases sounding consistent without blowing budgets or adding more headaches to your roster management.

That’s why I’m offering a simple, low-risk way to hear what I can do: a free partial test mix for one song for one of your bands.

No pressure, no commitments. Just a quick, professional mix sample you can evaluate on your terms.

The Offer

Here’s what I’m offering to make things easy on your end:

  • Free preview mix (~45–60 seconds) of one track from your roster

  • Fast turnaround — usually within a few days of the start date

  • Tight, powerful, genre-appropriate sound ready for playlists and press

  • Easy communication and collaborative revisions if needed

  • 10% thank you bonus if your artist books a full project after the test mix

Simple Process, No Surprises

  • Pick a band and send me a song (I’ll supply further instructions on track delivery and an upload link).

  • I’ll deliver a partial test mix (~45–60 seconds, usually a verse and chorus).

  • You and your artist decide if it’s a fit—zero pressure, no obligations.

Help Your Artists—And Earn a Bonus

  • If your artist decides to move forward after the test mix, you’ll receive a 10% bonus on their first paid project (whether it’s a single, EP, or album).
  • No contracts, no admin hassle—just a small way to say thanks and maybe help the band’s promotion or fund the next great record we work on together.

FAQ's

Q: What’s the catch?

None. The partial test mix is free. You only continue if you want to.

Q: Are there any hidden costs?

No. You’ll know the full cost upfront if your artist wants to book a full project.

Q: Can my artist communicate with you directly?

Absolutely. I want to work directly with the artists to align on the mix—plus it will take work off your plate.

Q: What happens after the test mix?

Nothing unless you choose to move forward. No hard sells. Just a mix sample to help you make the right call.

Q: Where can I learn more about you and hear examples of your work?

You can learn more on my home page and hear some select songs from my portfolio. I can also send more recent examples upon request. There are also reviews from people I’ve worked with in the past on the home page.
