Dave Holmes on SoundBetter

Mixing engineer specialising in dynamic, atmospheric music — jazz, classical, cinematic and alternative. Based at Lightship 95 Recording Studios in London, delivering mixes with depth, clarity and emotional impact for artists, composers and ensembles.

Mixing and mastering engineer with over 20 years of experience across music, film and broadcast, contributing to thousands of releases worldwide. Projects I’ve worked on have collectively reached hundreds of millions of streams.

I specialise in dynamic, instrument-driven music — from jazz ensembles and contemporary classical to cinematic productions and alternative bands.

My background working across jazz, classical and alternative music means I’m particularly comfortable with dynamic arrangements and real instrument recordings, where space, depth and musical interaction matter.

The goal is always the same: mixes that feel spacious, detailed and emotionally powerful, while translating clearly across modern listening environments.

Feel free to send your track if you'd like honest mix feedback before booking.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

    Dave has been a mentor throughout the making of my first album. (Orava - Behind the Wave). He is more than passionate about music and his craft. His knowledge and taste brought so much to my album. Whether you are looking to get your track mixed or produced, Dave will put it on another level. Don't think twice, he is your guy!
