2x Grammy winning Multi- Gold and Platinum Engineer. Destiny's Child, Erykah Badu, LLCool J, Kirk Franklin, many more. Over 20yrs experience.
I will mix and master your song. Pricing depends on Track count and length of song. Package prices for multiple songs. When you contact me send an example of your music and tell me a little about your project, how many tracks there are in your songs and the length. That way I can give you a fair price and start out on that right foot. You can do revisions until you are happy with reason. I use Protools and Logic Pro X. You will find my price reasonable and I strive to make every client love their mix and have a great experience working together.
I also now offer real time online session mixing for a small additional fee. This is great for final tweaks. It's like being in the studio together.

Solid work, very responsive and timely. Took suggestions after the original mix and incorporated those into the mix seamlessly.

Gerard is awesome, once I recevied the mix you can instantly tell when someone is paying attention to all the little details for everything sonically. Sometimes people on hear say they are flexible but never live up to that statement. Gerard was open to listen to the vision, gave great feedback, and provided a fair assessment of the work that was needed. And with that information was able to deliver a service that was nothing short of perfect. We need more Gerards partnering with artist.

I came back to Gerard for another mix, master, and assist with production for a new record. As always he was reliable, insightful, and added so much depth to my record. He gave me suggestions and fully understood to mood and purpose of the record. He's someone I will continue working with in the future as he takes time to really bring your vision to life.
