Hello! I’m James Trevascus, an engineer and producer based in Bristol, UK.

​I work both from my own studio and on a freelance basis, working at loads of studios in the UK and beyond. I'm also one of the staff engineers at Invada Studios in Bristol.

​Some of my recent production and mixing projects include Billy Nomates' second LP "CACTI" and TVAM's "High Art Lite", along with a new project with Australian band RVG which is in the works. Some other work includes mixing the score to Geoff Barrow & Ben Salisbury's Hanna Season 3, Foreign Affairs, Black Flies, Pet Shimmers, Make Friends, The Pleasure Dome, and more, as well as engineering the latest Goon Sax record Mirror II, produced at Invada by John Parish.

​Some recent mastering credits include both "Blonde" and "La Panthère Des Neiges" by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, Ben Frost's Dark Season 3 and "In The Earth" by Clint Mansell. As well as this I recently mastered the soundtracks to "Devs" and Blanck Mass' "Calm With Horses", which both won Ivor Novello Awards for Best TV Soundtrack and Best Original Film Score respectively. I've also been lucky enough to master music for PJ Harvey, Warren Ellis, Beak>, Dama Scout, The KVB, Mom Jeans, Just Friends, Billy Nomates, Geoff Barrow & Ben Salisbury and loads more.

    I worked with James recently on a cover song and he completely blew me away with what he was able to do with my song. His quick responses and attention to every detail was awesome. I highly recommend using James for your mixing/mastering needs, you will not be disappointed.

    Working with James is always a pleasure. His feedback on my last mix really helped take this one to the next level! The master sounds great as well!

    James mastered my album and did an excellent job. I appreciated that he pointed out exactly what he was adjusting so I could listen for the changes. He was able to make my mixes sound very professional and polished. Sounded perfect on the first attempt.

    James was also very quick to respond to and add the very small revision that I asked for on a song (a quick fade out that I hadn’t included on my original mix)

    Highly recommended.

    James is a true professional and his mixing is top-notch. Always takes our songs to the next level and places them in the appropriate context. He is very patient. Quick to get mixes back but also fastidious. He almost always nails the mix on the first attempt. Would definitely recommend James to anyone wanting to take their track to the next level.

    We are so happy to choose James for mastering our album ! He did an awesome work. We wanted a clear and a powerful sound that we heard on an album he mastered (the Kvb), and we had it !! Something really cool about James is that he respond very quickly and take time to explain you.
    Bref, James is a great engineer, very professionnal and a good guy ! No doubt that we will ask him in the future

    James is truly the best at what he does. He always seems to somehow know exactly what I’m going for and brings out the things in my mix that I wasn’t able to. He’s also always been able to turn the song around for me really quickly. It’s always a pleasure to work with James!

    This is our second time working with James. He did such a great job on our mixes that we ended up deciding to go back to him for mastering. Again, he was very communicative and willing to work with us until we were satisfied, being open to our suggestions, but also doing what he thought we be best for us and the material. Great experience!

    James did an incredible job on our mixes. As well as being very professional, timely and communicative, he was able to bring his own vision and vibe to our tracks. Preserving the artistic integrity of our mixes but also making them way more understandable and listenable.
    We did go through a revision process with James which went well, but at the end of the day his first mixes ultimately won out. Great instincts, ear and talent. Hope to work with James again.

    After getting my album mastered I decided to make some changes and add an extra song. James was able to rework the album for me to get this done. As always, it was really quick and sounded amazing! Glad to work together again!

    James was a pleasure to work with. He was quick to respond to me anytime I had a question and he completely the job very quickly. He was very willing to work with me when I had some delays on a couple of my tracks. His masters sounded amazing! They took everything we were trying to achieve in our mix and absolutely brought it to life. I am very impressed with James’ work. I would highly recommend him, and I am very excited to work together again in the future!

    I've never met another person in this industry that not only has the ability and ear to fine tune something to the most perfect degree, but is also thriving with his own ideas and techniques that he throws in the mix, keeping everyone involved on their creative tootsies. They say you can't polish a turd, but I have seen this man produce diamonds. Forever excited to get back to working with him.

  18. Review by Danny W.

    James is one of the most reliable people I have ever worked with in the music industry. He is always open to ideas, nothing is too much trouble and in my personal opinion his skills are of the highest order, even at his relatively young age. A man who will stop at nothing to make sure the music he is a part of nothing less than superb.

    We've been recording with James since 2015, and every experience has been nothing short of amazing. He consistently goes above and beyond to help capture everything you desire for your music, and his experience, enthusiasm and friendliness are the reasons we continuously work with him. I honestly can't recommend him enough!

    Many in this industry have talent in abundance, but often they lack the personable skills to execute something great. James excels at both. His attention to detail, which is what I value most within this industry, is deft to say the least. He will undoubtedly better your project.
