I feel well suited working somewhere between art and technology. I use sonic ideas that support the emotion of the song while retaining the dynamics. I help the musicians shine and make the singer sound like a star. 

I am a professional musician. Mixing is about creating an auralscape - using depth, space, movement, and separation. I want to bring out the drama or emotion that can’t be created with a strictly realistic sound.

Performance Editing

I can handle your audio restoration. I have iZotope RX10 Advanced among other programs at my fingertips.

Drum Replacement

Fix any problems without going back into the studio. Got too much bleed or the wrong drum tuning? I have an extensive sample collection of drum triggers.

Manual Pitch Correction

I am a vocal tuning specialist. It can be done transparently retaining your personality, without flattening intentional note slides. I can control vibrato, pitch drift, and formant. I don't apply the same setting over an entire performance. I have the best tuning programs. 

Rhythm Correction

For correcting clear mistakes or for simply making the groove tighter. Aligning the vocal harmonies can maximize their impact.

REVISIONS

I do not charge fees for revisions unless they are due to factors out of my control (i.e. re-recorded vocals, newly added instruments/parts...) 

When the mix is ready I will send you a link to the mix so you can listen and make notes. I will then adjust the mix accordingly. This process repeats until you’re happy, so you have the luxury to live with it for a while. Check it out on different speakers, in your car, and so on, before committing to a final mix. 

MIX PASSES

Four mix passes are included. Tell me what you need: Instrumental, a cappella, TV mix, vocal up, vocal down, “Clean”... Additional versions/stems, perhaps for future remixing, are available at additional cost.

Examples:

"Full mix without the Drum Set", "Guitars only", "Keyboards and Guitars only" etc...

A "Clean" edit for replacing explicit language with silence, sound fx, reverse effects, etc...

“TV Mix” or “Performance Track pass” is used for live vocal performances without a live band. The lead vocal is muted. All background vocals remain in the song.

A Full Session Stem is when each track is printed (exported) individually through all of its processing. This is done in order to retain all of the processing gear used during the mixing process. A fully stemmed out session will enable you to import all of the 'stems' of your session (kick, snare, keyboard, LV, BV, etc...) into your DAW while retaining the most of actual mix work of the song without needing any of the gear or plugins that the engineer used. This is useful for live shows.

MIX Recall

If you want quick changes to a mix, I can do a fast recall. Most of my system is 100% full-digital recall. I keep meticulous notes on my outboard gear.

We have the ability to mix several songs at once. Let's say that you have me doing a 10-song project for you. We can mix all of the songs, let you live with it for a week or two. We can come back and put the finishing touches on each mix before printing final passes.
