CNB Engineering Services

What this is

Engineering from inside a working label.

CNB Records is an independent UK label and collective. We mix and record our own releases, and now we offer the same work to artists outside the label. You don't need to be signed, and nothing here ties you to CNB.

The offer is simple. We do a free rough mix of one of your songs so you can hear what we'd do with it. If you like it, we finish it properly. If not, you keep the rough mix and owe nothing.

No catch. The free mix is how you find out if our ears suit your music before you spend anything.

Questions

Things you're probably wondering.

Is the free mix actually free?

Yes. One song, one rough mix, no payment and no obligation. It's how you check we're the right fit before spending anything.

Do I have to sign to CNB?

No. These are paid services, completely separate from the label side. Your music stays yours.

Why are the prices so low?

We're building our client list and portfolio, so these are intro rates. They'll rise over time, but the work gets the same care either way.

Can I hear your previous work?

Yes. Ask us for the portfolio playlist and we'll send it over.
