I specialize in mixing and mastering music in the extreme/metal/indie/rockpop genre(s). I've been a devoted mix engineer for almost two years now and spend every moment that I can learning, experimenting, and working with audio.
I strive to bring the passion and intensity out in the bands that I mix. Capturing and more so, conveying the indescribable intensity felt at a live show are of utmost importance to me. Yeah, I'm more of a 'vibe' guy as opposed to a more 'let's make sure everything is totally perfect and precise but extremely lacking in soul. Haha, lame.
My rates are insanely cheap as right now I am looking to work with the best bands that I possibly can while building a reputation for my name.
Almost anyone with a basic understanding of recording and mic technique can record a band, but to take that recordng to 'record' quality via mixing, takes an experienced engineer with a vision and a sound.
I'm also very competent programming drums and use a few different apps (namely DFHS), so if any of you goregrind/death heads need some tracks programmed, hit me up!If you are looking for a mix engineer to mix your bands raw, unmixed tracks for Demo/EP/Album, don't hesitate to message me. I'll scope the material and let you know if it's something I'd be interested in working on!
AT THIS TIME I CAN NOT DO ANY TRACKING. I'm hoping to find a suitable place to set up shop so that I can start producing bands and offer everything from start to finish, to include all tracking, mixing, AND mastering.NOTE: If you haven't tracked your songs yet but you know you would like me to mix, please contact me ahead of time so that I can give you a list of a few things I like to have during tracking. Most notably would be DI's of the guitar tracks so that I can re-amp them through an amp of choice come mix time.
