WHY SHOULD I PAY YOU TO MIX / PRODUCE MY RECORD?

I really love music. Like, really – and i’m pretty good at it. It’ll be quick and easy. You’ll love the end result.

WILL YOU MASTER MY RECORD?

No. Never. Don’t make me do it. The most I will do is give you a master reference. I use a limiter and get it loud enough so you can see what it’ll be like. ISRC, Text Encoding, PMCD creation are things I’m not passionate about. However, these things are important, especially if manufacturing CD’s or other media.

A good song. Caffeine, An 1176.

Yes! We just built a fantastic sounding Atmos rig. Had Dolby come out calibrate and give us their blessing. It’s a super exciting format to work in.

Mostly yes. But also no. I have a stack of outboard gear I like to use and I’m pretty hybrid / whatever is going to sound and work best for the song.
