Professional, efficient, and impressive. As a mixing engineer I am active listening, constantly trying new things, and never giving up on a mix. As a mastering engineer, I am meticulous, precise, and perfectionistic.
2018 Graduate of Ohio University with a bachelors in Music Production. While there, I utilized professional equipment and studio space to hone my talents and to refine my process of mixing and mastering.
I now use Logic Pro X with multiple different monitors ranging from computer speakers to studio monitors to do my mixing (as well as headphones).
