Ideally, it’s best to send consolidated multitracks as .wav files, all exported from the same starting point so everything lines up properly in the session.

In most cases, I prefer receiving clean, unprocessed tracks. That said, if there are specific plugin effects or tones that are important to the sound of the song, feel free to include both:

- a processed version with the plugins printed

- and the original unprocessed version

This gives me flexibility during mixing while still preserving the creative choices that are important to your sound. 

I can provide more technical instructions if anything is not clear

YES! Hearing your rough mixes is one of the best ways for me to understand the direction, energy, and intent behind the record. Music can be difficult to describe with words alone, so listening through your roughs and talking about what you like (or don’t like) helps me understand how you hear the music.

I also love discussing reference tracks, influences, and the records that inspire you. That said, I don’t approach references as templates to copy. My goal is to understand what resonates with you aesthetically, then shape a mix that feels authentic to your music rather than recreating someone else’s sound. 

The timeline depends on the number of songs, track count, and overall complexity of the production. During our kickoff meeting, we’ll define a clear schedule together, including review points and delivery dates so you always know where the project stands.

As a general reference, most full-length records take around two weeks to mix once everything has been received and organized. My goal is never to rush the process, but to move efficiently while making sure the record develops in the right direction.

I keep the process collaborative without making it overwhelming. Every project starts with a free one-hour kickoff meeting where we talk through your music, references, and overall direction.

From there, I’ll mix the first song and send it early for feedback so we can align on the sound before moving forward. Feedback can happen through a call or written notes,  whatever works best for you.

Once the direction is set, your main role is reviewing mixes and sharing revision notes. This can be done live in remote sessions or asynchronously at your own pace.

Every project is different, but pricing generally depends on the number of songs and overall scope of the production. During our free kickoff meeting, we’ll talk through your vision, workflow, and goals before settling on a budget that makes sense for the project. 

I believe in being straightforward and transparent about pricing from the start so the focus can stay on making a great record. Most projects are priced at a fixed rate and include up to 3 rounds of revisions. 

For all projects, I typically ask for 50% upfront before mixing begins and the remaining 50% once you’re happy with the final results. If you feel the mixes aren’t connecting in the end, I’ll refund your deposit in full.

Yes. Depending on the project needs, I also offer mastering, editing/tuning, and production support.

For mastering, I generally recommend working with a dedicated mastering engineer, as a fresh set of ears can make a big difference. That said, I can also provide high-quality, release-ready masters if you’re looking for a more streamlined or budget-friendly option, and I’m always happy to collaborate with or recommend other mastering engineers.

Editing and vocal tuning are available as needed and are typically billed hourly based on the scope of the work. I use tools like Melodyne and Auto-Tune selectively, always aiming to support the performance rather than over-process it.

I also offer recording and production support for local artists, as well as remote collaboration when additional instrumentation or creative direction is needed.

I think you should hire me if you feel our philosophies align and you connect with my previous work. The best creative relationships come from working with someone who genuinely understands your music and how you want it to feel.

I come from a music-first background and have spent years playing, recording, and producing music. I also know firsthand how frustrating it can be to put everything into a record and still feel like it doesn’t fully land in the end.

That experience shaped how I approach mixing today. I focus on preserving the identity of your music and shaping the mix around its intent, rather than forcing my own taste onto it.

Ultimately, the best way to know if we’re the right fit is to talk. Every project starts with a free 1-on-1 call where we can discuss your music and where you want to take it.

You absolutely can, and plenty of artists do. 

But mixing well takes time, experience, and most importantly, perspective.

By the time you’ve written, recorded, and lived with the same songs for months, it’s easy to lose objectivity. A big part of my role is bringing fresh ears while helping you preserve what made the songs special in the first place.

I also believe mixing should feel collaborative, not controlling. It’s your record, my job is to guide the process and shape the music with you, not take it away from you.
