System Check
Professional sonic enhancement and drum reconstruction to turn your creative vision into a club-ready record
Book Session
System Check
In a saturated market, you have 30 seconds to catch an A&R’s ear. Most demos are rejected not because the idea is weak, but because they lack the weight, clarity, and authority of a professional record. If your levels are off, your music stays a "demo."
Our SYSTEM-CHECK service
This is more than a service; it’s a technical and creative reconstruction. By providing your stems, you allow Michael to apply 25 years of hit-making experience to your music. Michael fixes the balance, clears the muddle, and optimizes the energy of your track at the source.
You aren't just getting a master. You are getting a record that is ready for the world.

The Stem refinement
Precision Balance. Club-Ready Impact. This is for the producer who has the right sounds but needs a professional, world-class ear to find the "pocket". Michael performs a detailed technical calibration of your mix using up to 12 stems to fix frequency masking and low-end clutter at the source.
Best for: tracks that already have the right foundation but need better balance, clarity, and impact Result: a tighter, harder-hitting, more release-ready record
The Project Overhaul
Elite Sonic Upgrading. Label-Ready Transformation. This is our most intensive service, combining Tier 01 with a full Sonic Upgrade. Michael performs an intricate deep-dive into your project to identify and replace underperforming elements—specifically in the kick and drum architecture—with elite sounds from his private, hit-proven library.
Best for: tracks that need deeper production-level improvement in key areas Result: a bigger, stronger, more competitive record

FAQs
What are the Terms & Conditions for System-Check?
Who owns the music?
The artist retains 100% of the copyright and ownership of their music. ALL FIRE/SYSTEM-CHECK acts purely as a specialized sonic technician and finishing house. The service is designed to elevate the creative vision established by the artist, without taking any stake in the intellectual property.
How long does it take?
The standard turnaround time for a SYSTEM-CHECK is 7 days. However, depending on Michael’s global touring and studio availability, a turnaround as fast as 24 hours can be achieved. Artists with specific deadlines for label submissions should mention them during the initial audit phase.
Why is this service necessary?
In a saturated market, a producer has approximately 30 seconds to catch an A&R's ear. Most demos are rejected not because the idea is weak, but because they lack the weight, clarity, and authority of a professional record. If the levels are off, the music stays a "demo". SYSTEM-CHECK ensures a track translates from a bedroom speaker to a festival mainstage.
What if the artist is not satisfied with the result?
The goal of ALL FIRE is to get the music sounding like a professional record. If there is specific feedback regarding the sonic balance, Michael will work to address it within the scope of the selected tier. However, because this is a professional service involving significant studio time, all sales are final. Technical issues are evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure the output meets the ALL FIRE standard.
How many revisions are included?
ALL FIRE provides one (1) complimentary revision per project to ensure the final output meets the artist’s expectations. While the goal is to deliver a label-ready record on the first pass, ALL FIRE is happy to work with artists on a case-by-case basis until they are fully satisfied with the sonic results.
Are refunds available?
The official policy of ALL FIRE is that all sales are final. Clients are paying for the time and 25 years of industry-leading expertise of a world-renowned producer. Once work on a project has commenced, refunds cannot be issued but we are always willing to discuss any issues on a case-by-vase basis.
Will Michael change the melodies or lyrics?
No. SYSTEM-CHECK is a Sonic Enhancement and Finishing service. While Tier 02 involves upgrading drum architecture and sound selection, Michael does not alter the musical DNA, melodies, or lyrics of the song. The artist provides the music; Michael provides the professional foundation.
Is a project file (e.g., Ableton, Logic) required?
No. Michael works exclusively with 24-bit WAV/AIFF stems. This ensures he is hearing the exact intended output of the artist's studio and allows him to focus purely on the sonic reconstruction without software or plugin compatibility issues.
