Live Audio Engineer gone studio. Don't tell my coworkers. If you need someone with a unique perspective, or an unrivaled work ethic to complete your project, I'm right here
Live/Studio Mixing and Mastering engineer here. I've worked with many artist from varying disciplines both on and off the road, worked on projects from full albums, EPs, and podcasts, all the way to mixing music festivals and theater shows. That experience has allowed me to take a clear and unbiased approach to mixing virtually any artist, and delivering tailored results that match and exceed your expectation. I'm all about communication and working efficiently; keeping an open dialogue about what we need to accomplish and what your goals are is very important to the process. I also appreciate challenges, and thinking outside the box. Lets finish that one weird song you got sitting in the back of your hard drive!

Interview with George Tzouanopoulos
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital. If you ever had to lift and move an analog console you'd agree.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: laptop, generator, headphones, coffee maker, second auxiliary coffee maker
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: started dabbling 10 years ago, and to this day still do equal parts Live audio/system design and mixing in a studio setting
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Clean and warm
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: dynamic EQ instead of multi-band compressor on airy, light instruments
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Lately it has been R&B/singer songwriter. But usually its an equal amount of everything
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Mixing quickly, if needed
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Starting the work day by listening to like-sounding music to what I'm about to work on, then lighting up some candles and getting to it. I like to mix in smaller chunks, to curb ear fatigue and always keep a fresh image of the mix in my head. After the mix is 90% there I start meandering with my laptop around the house, listening and mixing on anything that emits noise. I finish up back at the control room for polishing.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: 2 monitors, headphones, interface, keyboard, and a computer. I like a clean, streamlined setup for my work. The most important thing to me is room treatment and making sure the monitors are calibrated correctly.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Mixing is my primary work
