"A GOOD MIX IS WHAT TRANSFORMS INTO A GOOD MASTER".
I am here to provide you with the best sonic solution, suited to your recording or production needs. How do I achieve this? Well, I mainly work "in the box", in my go to DAW (Logic Pro x). Plugins I mostly use, comprise of an emulation of their analog counterparts. My main focus revolves around colouring (or reverse engineering) the audio files (as required). Post this, I then start addressing individual sounds with precise EQ and Dynamic Shaping techniques.
Last but not the least, I am a big believer that Pan Pots and Faders (gain) tend to make the most difference in mixing a track efficiently.
