I'm VESEN (formerly Azuma Touga as a VTuber) and I'm an audio engineer for Utaite, Youtaite and VSinger projects such as cover songs, original songs etc.I work with all genres, my strong suit being EDM, electronic and pop songs. I've participated in many projects of small to large scales including work for various companies and have experience mixing solo vocals as well as group collabs. I'm known for delivering high quality work within a short time frame, as well as being flexible and understanding each client's preferences when it comes to nuances of audio mixing.You can view my most recent work examples in my 2024 mix playlist, and a selection of best quality mixes in my portfolio playlist.Make sure to read my terms and guidelines before contacting me.If you would like to send an inquiry, feel free to contact me over on Twitter;
my contact e-mail for company and other commercial inquiries is antimachine6[at]gmail.com
Recording guidelines:
Important note: I do not accept commissions with poor quality recordings, vocal takes with external effects added (GoXLR compression, noise gated recordings), and recordings that don't follow the key and tempo of the song. Make sure you are singing along to the instrumental track to ensure note and beat accuracy.
Lead vocals and any extra tracks must be aligned in time to the instrumental. Please do not export your takes per line or per clip, make sure each of them is lined up with accordance to the lyrics order of the song. Create extra overlaps track if necessary.
All vocal tracks must be sent in .wav format (mono, 44.1khz or 48khz or higher)
Leave a few seconds of background noise in a track for the sake of noise reduction
Avoid clipping (loudness distortion) on the vocals and record on the same proximity from your mic throughout the whole song.
If any lines need to be copy and pasted, please specify using timestamps
Make sure the instrumental track is unedited and retains the initial quality it was downloaded in
General rules:
I do not allow any modifications to my mixes: mixing extra files into the finished audio, re-mixing the acapella, re-mastering the mix, etc. I will not share the project file and processed stems. Please respect this if you want to commission me.
I only accept full upfront payment and do not offer refunds. Audio editing is my full-time job, it is in my interest to provide consistently satisfactory services. Should any special circumstances arise, I will always be willing to discuss potential cancellations.
I am willing to make any revisions within reason. I reserve the right to decline making changes that are out of my control
Make sure to download the final audio after the mix has been approved, as I will not be responsible for any files lost, and I will not hold onto project files and any finished audio for over a month past final approval. If you need me to keep your files for longer, do let me know in advance.
I accept payment via PayPal. Bank transfer is possible for commercial orders. Any personal information provided is strictly confidential between me and the client.

FAQ // subject to be updated at a later dateDo you have a waitlist / queue?My commissions are not first come first serve: I do complete them in order of submission, however I give priority to the client's desired deadline. I don't run a public queue anymore for the sake of my clients' and my own privacy.Do you work with beginners? I have no prior experience making covers.I do accept commissions from creators regardless of their experience level with music. However, please make sure your files are recorded and arranged correctly and include everything the song requires. I will be happy to answer related questions, but I will not provide a detailed guide for setting up and recording.My vocals sound robotic in the mix.I typically give pointers to the client if their vocals could be improved, but the result of pitch correction largely depends on how accurately the notes are hit in the recordings (a very simplified explanation). Reducing the overall level of pitch correction is generally possible if requested, however do keep in mind that it's an entirely manual process where each note is adjusted individually.Why did you make my voice sound lower / higher?I never make adjustments to a vocalist's voice that aren't pitch correction required to produce a well-polished final mix. Any differences between the initial takes and the final mix are either a result of individual perception, or correction of missed notes. If you have questions or concerns about note accuracy or need guidance regarding your vocals, I strongly recommend working with a vocal director or guide maker before commissioning a mix. Unfortunately at the moment I do not offer such services, but I can refer you to trusted creators who do.Can you adjust the volume of [instrument in the audio that isn't a vocal track]?That isn't possible unless you are working with a custom made instrumental and the producer has provided stems to work with. Please contact the creator of the instrumental.Can I commission you for an instrumental arrangement, song production or lyrics?
No, I only work with existing compositions and the client's recordings. I would be happy to work on a mix for your original song if your producer doesn't offer mixing/mastering services. To ensure quality and avoid any miscommunication, please make sure the original song mixing process is communicated with the producer of the track as well.I have a question about your mixing process...
You may DM me in case you would like to inquire about anything not listed on this page but I'm very slow with replying to work-unrelated messages. Thank you for understanding.Can you teach me mixing or do you offer paid lessons?
No. I'm not a certified expert neither do I hold any type of license in teaching. I am not qualified and will not take the responsibility of sharing my methods and workflow so please do look elsewhere for professional audio engineering courses.
