Try one mix with me. If you like the outcome we can talk about a price for the rest of your project. Send me a message if interested or have any concerns.
My father was a guitarist for "Steve Miller" and wrote "The Stake"
Hence, I've always been attracted to idea of being involved with music somehow.
Mixing seems to be my calling at this point in my life.
Also looking for major studio opportunities if possible.
Also willing to make music for movies.

Interview with Mason Gigantic Sound
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Good question! 2 bands come to mind at this time. But it is an endless archive. The Cure and Modest Mouse because they are simple but complex at the same time and no one sounds like them. I can listen to at least half of their work without getting annoyed. They are unique and mainstream. I feel there music more than many popular bands.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Some Bands: Deftones, Suicidal Tendencies, Linkin Park, Great Lake Swimmers, Some Mixers: Michael Brauer, Sylvia Lenore Massy, Chris Lord-Alge, Andy Wallace, Matt Wallace, Jacquire King, Tape op, Mixing Engineers Handbook, Mix Magazine, Endless Youtube Videos, Pensado's Place...
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I made country cover turned into hard rock and rap. And I just joined a pop rock band.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Me
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I have a day job so I would need a week. I accept 1 artist allowing that artist 1 song per week. That allows me time to give the song attention and make the mix a priority that's doable.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: No schooling!!!! Hours of reading, 100's of online lectures, podcasts. Member of "Mix With The Masters" for 2 years now. I was one of the first to own the Digidesign Protools Digi001 way before Digidesign got big and became Avid;) Hence I continue to use Protools.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Original, old school west side rap(without a rapper) with classic rock, making it a new school sound, (without trap beats, dub step and cray cray imagine dragons cluster production). However, I can probably mix it if you already performed it all properly.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I'm usually proud of what ever I'm currently working on. I like to stay in the moment.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I believe analog can be beneficial for the recording process, but digital seems great for mixing.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: It's what I love to do:)
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: New to the business. Please ask:)
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: I don't kick it at the studio with the homies.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Do you have a song that is 100% finished in the recording process.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Give me a chance. I will give you my 100 percent. That will include 1 mix within a week and 1 revision.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: I would just play at that point. Ha.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: pop, alternative, rock, folk, chill
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Play music without a destination.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Giving the business another chance. 18 years of mixing off and on.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: determination and passion
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: clarity, balance, punch and more potential
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Load the song into protools, and let my ears control my hands till the mix is even, clean and musical.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
