San Diego, California
Need music that actually sounds like a hit? With 20+ years as a music producer, composer, and audio engineer, I turn raw ideas into polished, release-ready tracks — across any genre, any style, any deadline. What sets me apart isn't just the gear or the plugins — it's the full-spectrum experience. I've been on stage as a touring artist, behind the board as an engineer, and in the booth as a composer. That means I understand your music the way a collaborator does, not just a technician. I work in Ableton Live 12 and with a deep library of instruments and state-of-the-art plugins, so no sound is out of reach. Here's what I can do for you: 🎵 Full music production — original compositions from scratch in any genre (EDM, pop, cinematic, hip-hop, house, dubstep, drum & bass, game music, and more) 🎚️ Mixing & mastering — professional polish that translates on every speaker and streaming platform ✂️ Audio editing — vocal sync, cleanup, timing correction, and post-production 🎧 Background music — custom tracks for social media, podcasts, ads, and video content 🎮 Video game music — adaptive, loopable, and emotionally on-point 👨🏫 Production mentoring — guiding beginners and seasoned producers to level up their craft 175+ completed projects on Upwork with a 5 star rating and Top Rated status. Clients range from independent artists and podcasters to game developers and brand agencies. Over 20 years in the industry — as a DJ, touring artist, and studio professional — means I've seen every kind of project and know how to deliver. Send me a message and describe what you're working on — I typically respond within a few hours and can usually give you a timeline and rough quote the same day.

I’m an audio engineer with over 15 years of experience in recording, mixing, mastering, editing, audio repair, and sound design. My work spans music production, podcast editing, and creative audio projects, helping artists, podcasters, and storytellers bring their ideas to life and communicate with clarity and impact. In 2024, I helped launch over 50 new podcasts and edited more than 1,000 episodes for a variety of clients. I use a blend of industry-standard software including Pro Tools, iZotope RX, Adobe Audition, and Adobe Premiere to deliver polished, broadcast-ready results. I specialize in audio repair and noise removal, restoring damaged recordings and cleaning up audio captured in less-than-ideal situations to achieve as close to professional clarity as possible. This skill has been especially valuable in podcast production, remote interviews, and archival projects. I’ve worked with a wide spectrum of clients, from local artists and content creators to well-known corporations and celebrities — adapting my workflow to meet the unique needs of each project while maintaining the highest level of quality for file delivery and time management. Beyond editing and production, I also bring expertise in sound design. One of my most prolific projects has been an immersive children’s podcast where I produce/composed original music and craft all sound effects to create a rich, imaginative, and engaging world for young listeners. With a strong focus on creativity and communication, I approach every project as an opportunity to connect through sound. As a self-starter, I thrive in independent projects while also collaborating closely with teams to achieve professional, compelling results.

Are you building or upgrading a home or office studio and want it to look, sound, and function like a professional setup? If your room feels clunky, echoey, poorly lit, or harder to use than it should be, I can help. 🎯 Who I Help Podcasters, YouTubers, course creators, musicians, authors, speakers, streamers, coaches, and remote professionals who record from home or a small office. I am based in Orlando, FL, with remote consults available worldwide and in-person installs available in the U.S. I help turn clunky, frustrating setups into reliable studio spaces that are easier to use. That includes room planning, camera framing, lighting, audio capture, gear selection, software optimization, and documenting the setup so it stays easy to use long after the install. 🛠️ What I Do • Home and office studio design and layout • Equipment setup and integration for cameras, audio interfaces, microphones, lighting, teleprompters, and recording/streaming software like OBS, Zoom, and Riverside • Room and acoustic optimization to reduce echo and improve clarity • Studio upgrades, troubleshooting, and training • Setup documentation and SOPs so your system stays usable long after the install Most clients are recording confidently within 7 to 30 days, depending on room complexity. ✅ Why Clients Hire Me • 10+ years of hands-on studio experience • Clear communication and fast responses • Practical, not theoretical, recommendations and solutions • No missed deadlines • Friendly, patient support for people who do not consider themselves “techy” 🚫 What I Don’t Do I do not offer video editing, filming, or full video production. I design and optimize the space, gear, audio, lighting, and workflow so you or your editing team have better material to work with. 🗣️ Client Feedback “Sterling sent us an entire schematic for how he would lay out the room and a list of all the things we needed to buy, with links. It was such a cool process and so easy. Plus, we got full training on how to use all the equipment. We’re now fully set up with a professional-grade home studio that makes recording content not only easier, but way more fun.” – Andrea Waltz If you need a studio that is record-ready in a few weeks, or you are tired of fighting your current setup, send me a message and tell me what you are working on. Sterling Skye About me: I’m Sterling, the studio guy people call when their setup is driving them crazy or when they are finally ready to build the studio they have been thinking about for years. I design home and office studios and help creators look and sound better on camera. I am also the author of "Master the Recording Studio," a guide to walking into any studio with confidence. Outside of work, I am a lifelong musician, recovering perfectionist, okay golfer, and personal servant to two cats.
