Mixing, Mastering, Production

Hi! I’m Brian and I produce, mix, and master music with a focus on building relationships with unique and talented musicians. I approach every project with the mindset of understanding the artist's intent. I listen for underlying musical themes, ask questions, reference other music, and finally draw the best sonic qualities out of each song.

After years of guitar and first violin, I received a BS Engineering at Oregon State. I’ve since dedicated the last eight years working with indie, electronic, and pop musicians.

Mixing: I love warm, punchy, and deep sonics with rhythmic percussion and clean vocals. I love a modern mix that’s equally parts emotionally moving and ear tickling. With outboard gear and plenty of professional in-the-box software, I’ll ensure each track has correct levels and panning, appropriate compression and eq, and just the right amount of unique effects and reverb. Then I’ll process each buss so the drums sound cohesive, the vocals forward, and instruments filling in the right spots.

Mastering: I’ll determine the overall balance and quality of the mix, then work on appropriate transients, balanced tone, and radio-ready dynamic range and loudness. After the first pass, I’ll listen in stereo and mono on a wide range of studio and consumer systems and headphones to make sure the mix shines in every way.

Production: Production is sacred and individual and should be approached as such. I’ll build projects with artists, keeping their ideas at the core. If parts are needed, I’m happy to use my collection of analog gear, guitars, basses, drums, in-the-box software, etc. I’ll reference other music and we can build insanely unique or beautifully mainstream songs together.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
