Indie mixing and mastering, focused on your sound and your songs. Helping your songs stand strong alongside the all rest.
Hi, I’m Brandon Shattuck and I’m an audio engineer/music producer and I have been working in the music industry for over 15 years. I started my career as a freelance recording engineer in Nashville, TN and then moved to Orlando, FL where I opened my own recording studio called Parafonic Recording Studio. Since then, my family and I have moved to the Ann Arbor area of Michigan where I now mix/master from my home studio.
The biggest joy in working on music projects is always the talented and wonderful people I get to work with. I've had the pleasure of recording, mixing and/or mastering bands and artists such as Cool Hand Luke, Seeker & Servant, Wind Words, Native Culture, Quiet Science, Former Things, Skypilot, Mandy Barnett, Mark Lowry, Chase Rice, and many more. I’ve also had the honor of editing and mixing many podcasts including Duck Season Somewhere, Crooked Letter Sports, Free and Light, and The Apartment Life Leadership Podcast. I’ve also edited, mixed, and mastered the audiobook Curious: A Foster Mom's Discovery of an Unexpected Solution to Drugs and Addiction by Christina Dent.
My focus on every project is delivering a final product that stays true to the client's goals and vision. I prioritize clear communication before and during the project, as well as attention to detail to help achieve this successfully.
I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
