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.

check_circleVerifiedGerard did a great job mastering my track. I needed the main/inst mix mastered + individual stems for sync placements. Not like other mastering engineers that squeeze the life out of a mix. He retains the dynamics in the mix!
check_circleVerifiedGerard is an exceptional audio engineer who brings both technical mastery and artistic intuition to his work. His approach to mixing and mastering showcased his impressive attention to detail while elevating the song's emotional core. I was so impressed with his work that I've started two more projects with him. And to top it off, he is a pleasure to work with.
check_circleVerifiedGerard did a great job mixing the song I brought to him. He worked with me till we arrived at the sound I was looking for with the track. He goes the extra mile being detailed with your mix and ensuring you are satisfied with the track. He's a professional and has a quick turnaround time. I will definitely be working with him again. One of the best engineers on the platform!

This was my first song/project with Gerard and it turned out better than I could have expected. Gerard was a true professional and his experience and craft showed through. He communicated the entire way and provided status updates throughout the process. Once the mix was complete, he was quick to turn around and provide the edit I requested. The final mix was on point. All the instruments were in the pocket and glued together nicely. He produced a radio ready song. I look forward to working with

Really professional sounding master, he made my mix clearer, crispier, and punchier.
check_circleVerifiedGerard is truly a legendary engineer. I had a project i was not happy with and new exactly who to take it to. The project had an instrumental that was not mixed well, and I couldn't get the stems but somehow Gerard figured out how to bring out the best! Thankful for his expertise and partnership.
check_circleVerifiedWOW! What an honor it has been to work with such a heavyweight in the industry. Some of the songs and recording artists he has mixed, I've been super inspired by along my musical journey.
I've FINALLY found my “sound” as an artist, and it takes a truly special engineer to understand that and bring “your sound” out to the world.
My entire team and I have been floored by his amazing ears and great interpretation of my first official studio single.

A great experience working with Gerard, a very professional mix and master with great attention to detail. Gerard also listened to all of my ideas for the mix and implemented them perfectly. A very fast turn around on the mix and master, plus any changes I wanted to make to the song. An incredible quality and sound on the final mix and master, so it was a very positive experience throughout it all.
check_circleVerifiedGreat Job done as usual.

Gerard is a legendary engineer. The attention to detail is a gift every second seems like the acoustics is always perfect. Of all the engineers I have worked with hands down his mixes are beyond any engineer I have worked with. Once you worked with Gerard youll never need to work with anyone again.
check_circleVerifiedOnce again, Gerard displayed professionalism and patience while working on a project for me. He turned my unpolished tracks that needed much help into a masterpiece. His expertise is second to none
check_circleVerifiedGreat working with Gerard again! He always hits the mark with his mixing sound. Did a great job mixing my latest track Flow. He's my go to guy for mixing and mastering :) *****
check_circleVerifiedBest of the best! Covers all frequency spectrums so well. I’ve worked with many engineers some of which have been far more expensive but couldn’t even get close to the same quality of mix. Gerard is fair, communicates well, and a super easy person to deal with. Thanks again!
