VOCAL PRODUCTION Your vision is my passion! I will transform your vocals into a shimmering production to give you the edge that is essential in a crowded musical field. MIXING I will take you multitracks and create a well balanced mix, enhanced where needed with all the necessary production tools
I offer both MIXING and VOCAL PRODUCTION services.
My experience is wide and varied, having worked with every level of vocalist, whether you need a poor performance made good or or a great performance polished to perfection, I can turn your expectations into reality.
Vocals form the heart of every song, so it is crucial that you have the best performance to make every song you work on, exceptional.
Vocal Production Services
VOCAL COMPING
I will consolidate multiple takes into a single track, ensuring the final result is your best performance.
VOCAL TUNING
I will ensure that your vocals are tuned naturally with Melodyne, one syllable at a time, without any hint that any correction has been applied.
VOCAL TIMING
My sense of timing will ensure that your vocal is exactly where it needs to be, and where you want it to be.
VOCAL CLEANING
Mistakes can happen and the environment you record in may have allowed unwanted sounds and interference into your recording. I will remove all the problems using AI tools, including RX8 Advanced audio correction suite.
VOCAL STACKING
You've created several vocal takes for your big chorus, but you need them to be really tight and timed. I will time align every take to your chosen master take, so they are all super tight

Had a great experience working with David. Turned what started off as a drab demo of a song, into a well polished ballad
A truely inspirational individual. David’s fastidious approach to music production, leaving no stone unturned is totally refreshing. He sets the bar in my opinion regarding vocal production.
David is very passionate about what he does, and he aims at the top. He's a very good composer in his own right, but he really shines as a vocal producer who takes every vocal to the next level with his dedicated treatment. If you're a singer and you feel like your vocals deserve their place, look no further.
David works meticulously to perfect any track he takes possession of. He has a head full of ideas and a real passion for what he does. I highly recommend his services to anyone who wants to produce a high quality polished track.
Gary BatesDavid is a perfectionist and really understands what is needed to perfect a vocal take and layers of harmonies to get the best out of the vocal performance. I have provided a few raw vocal home recordings to David in the past and have always been very happy and amazed with the end result he has achieved and the time he has dedicated to these songs, but still keeping the vocals authentic and original but delicately enhanced where needed.
