I'm freelance mixing engineer and guitarist. I've recorded, mixed and mastered several full albums as well as many singles and demos. I'm mixing in my home studio with very simple, effective and good sounding setup. If a good mix for reasonable price is what you are looking for, then I'm the right person for this.
Right now I mix fully 'in the box' in digital domain so there is no issues with recalls and adjusting mix. My mixing setup is very simple, robust and effective.
I'm looking mainly for mixing opportunities, but if your music needs production I can work on that and organize recording sessions in professional studios with professional musicians.
