Hi! I'm Gunther. I'm finishing up my degree in Audio engineering this year (it only took me 6 but that's a long story!) I recently moved my family to the Nashville area, and am trying to make it here as an engineer. I have a passion for Contemporary Christian, gospel, and rock music, and would be glad to work for you. Contact me.
I have been involved in recording and mixing music since I was 12, so there's some experience to be had here. Truth be told, the most important thing when I work on a project is to make the customer happy, and to help them find their sound. I will not take offense to whatever you have to say, so if my mix is garbage tell me. I am learning new techniques and approaches every day, and would love to do so with your project.
Tell me about your project and how I can help, through the 'Contact' button above.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: I'm no mastering engineer, but I do my best.
