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 up to 3 revisions. 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.
Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.

Gerard and I have been working together for the last couple of months on an intense project of mine. He was patient, understanding, and constantly worked/communicated with me. Any changes I needed, he not only delivered but had suggestions of what could be done for better delivery. I needed someone who understood the vision and purpose of the project and to invest their energy into executing it well and I believe Gerard did just that. Thank you, sincerely.

How do I start? too good to believe. This is an industry engineer. I used cheap low quality sounds in my beat cause i don't have the good quality ones in my DAW and my microphone is not the best but this guy made it sound like something recorded in a real expensive professional studio. Easy Communication, willing to do what you exactly ask for

Gerald is excellent in every sense of the word! His communication is great, at no point of the process did I ever feel left out. He arranged my song in a way that I never would have thought...then he put an awesome mix and master on it. He definitely went above and beyond for me and I know he will do the same for you as well!

Lawrence Welton!I recently worked with Gerard on a independent film project. He mixed the music, dialog, and did sound design. It came out wonderful. The producer and director were very happy with his work. We will be using him again.
Honestly, Gerard has created some the best and most colorful and well-balanced mixes I've heard over my career in the music industry. He's an experienced Engineer with an ear for what's going to be hot. Timely and detail oriented, his work is top notch. I highly recommend him.
Gerard is a great producer and engineer. I have known him for about 12 years. His mixing is excellent, and his mastering is great. He has done both mixing and mastering jobs for me. It doesn't matter the kind or style of music you give him it always come out great.
I have worked with Gerard on several projects in the past few years. He always brings his A game no matter how large or small the budget. 1st class engineer and producer.
