I had the chance to breathe music since I was a little child. During my university years I discovered a hidden passion for electronic music production. To get the sound quality I wanted I realised that I must study to become a professional mixing/mastering engineer.
Mix and Master engineer at Expander studio in Bucharest
Specialised in electronic music ,hip hop,pop ,jazz ,soundtrack and rock.
I can also do sound design and music for films or commercial adds.My studio is well equipped for this .I am a sound synthesis enthusiast and i have studied piano.
I will listen to your audio tracks carefully and then mix and master them based on your inquiries to ensure you get a good polished song that can translate well in every listening environment
However if you only need Mastering I can offer you advise and assistance to your mix for free ,resulting a professional high end product
I will use a mix of analog gear and digital
.
The most important aspect ,after the human resource, is the "control room" and the monitoring
Our room was specially chosen to be big , without concrete walls and after this treated to sound perfect and free of resonances.
I use KSD monitors plus subwoofers and RME ADI 2 Pro FS converter
