High-End Mixing, Mastering, and Audio Restoration You’ve put the work into your music; now it needs the professional polish to compete on a global scale. With over three decades of experience—beginning in the '90s DJ scene and evolving into full-scale production—I provide the "obsessive" attention to detail required for top-tier audio. What I Bring to Your Project: Industry-Standard Mixing & Mastering: I specialize in the punch and clarity required for Hip-Hop and modern electronic music. Professional Audio Restoration: I can repair, clean, and enhance damaged or low-quality recordings, bringing them back to life with professional clarity. Versatile Workflow: Whether your project is in Cubase, Ableton, Pro Tools, or Logic, I offer seamless integration across both digital and analog environments. My approach is fully independent and quality-focused. I don’t just "process" your audio; I ensure it is reliable, high-fidelity, and ready for release on all digital platforms. Note: Mastering services available for all digital formats (excludes vinyl lacquer cutting).

I've spent over 15 years in professional audio, starting in live sound and production leadership across multi-campus church environments before moving into freelance post-production. That foundation shaped how I work: reliable, detail-oriented, and built for real deadlines. My work spans two main areas. On the music side, I mix and master singles, albums, and live recordings from a fully treated, acoustically calibrated studio designed for accurate mix translation. As a working guitarist, I approach music production from the inside out, not just as a technical exercise. On the spoken word side, I specialize in podcast editing and audiobook post-production, including ACX-compliant mastering, dialogue cleanup, and full delivery workflows that keep listeners engaged without over-processing the natural voice. I also produce meditation and ambient soundscape content blending guitar, synths, and atmospheric textures, and offer DAW and audio workflow training for musicians, podcasters, and content creators. Services: Music mixing and mastering (singles, albums, live recordings) Podcast editing and production Audiobook post-production and ACX-compliant mastering Dialogue editing and cleanup (noise, breaths, clicks, level balancing) Meditation and ambient soundscape production DAW and audio workflow training Tools: Pro Tools, Logic Pro, iZotope RX, WaveLab, Descript, Audacity Hourly work: $50/hr Audiobook post-production: $150 per finished hour Clean, natural, and distraction-free audio without over-processing. Military background. Professional workflow. No drama.
