Isaac - Corner Room Production - Remote Mixing Engineer - Bellingham

You've taken the time to have your songs recorded. You've put your heart and soul into them. You deserve to have them mixed to perfection.

I offer professional quality mixing for musicians on a budget. I'm very passionate about mixing indie/folk, americana, indie rock, and just about any other acoustic oriented genres of music, but am working on finding clients and projects outside of those genres to expand my experience. I took Bellevue College's 3 course audio engineering and mixing program and gained a year of experience working in their studio. Beyond that, I have countless hours mixing my own projects and just recently realized the quality of my mixes is now sounding entry level professional. I came in 2nd place for Adam Audio's 2018 Soundtrack contest, and that is what made me realize my mixes are starting to sound professional. Recently I have started to pick up clients, build my portfolio, and am now trying to start up my website.

It was a pleasure to work with you. Great client and great music!
by Lisette van Loo
Isaac recorded and mixed my most recent release (August). It was great to work with him: we took our time getting every layer just right. He is dedicated and musical but left all the necessary space for my own creative decisions and input, which is the ideal balance I think. His musical additions were great and he spent a lot of time finding a style of mixing/mastering that suit my music. He has a lot of knowledge about music and production and responded very well to minor requests. Isaac is definitely beyond his years as a musician and producer and approaches his projects very professionally.

Interview with Isaac - Corner Room Production

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I actually won second place for Adam Audio's 2018 soundtrack competition. I had to write, record, and mix a 30 second soundtrack. Winning that contest is what made me realize my mixes are sounding professional now and it is what made me start to branch out and try to make an income off of mixing.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am working on Lisette Lowe's song "August"
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital, I have never had the money to afford analog, but I have nothing against it! I have just learned on analog and that is what I'm familiar with, I record everything in the box.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: By the end of the process, the mix will sound the way YOU want it to sound.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I ask them: what is the main thing you like about this song? What is the main thing you don't like? What are you trying to achieve or convey through this song?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Since I am fairly new to the game, I would say if you're looking to make your bedroom recorded, or home recorded tracks into a professional sounding mix on a budget, then I'm your guy.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: One of my favorite music production tips for mixing: for ambient background noises (muted picks on electric guitar, tapping acoustic guitar, background room noise, etc) to make a very cool stereo effect that gives a really good sense of space, pan the recorded signal to one side and then send it to a mono reverb and pan that to the opposite side with a pre delay on the reverb, hearing the recorded noise on one side and then hearing it spread across to the other side adds really nice, wide, ambient background effects that can completely change a mix.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I would say I specialize in very smooth vocals, and energetic dynamics, even for intimate acoustic/folk songs which can be a hard thing for people to do.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I mix everything in the box, it's the way I was taught and I've grown to have a lot of control over sound in my DAW.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Dave Darlington, Sylvia Massey, Greg Wells, Dave Pensado, Graham Cochrane, Warren Huart
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: The most common type of work I do for my clients is mixing.
