Jesse Joy on SoundBetter

Pro mixing/mastering engineer specializing in cinematic and orchestral music. I've spent the last decade working with award winning composers like Brianna Tam, Ardie Son, Eric Heitmann, Alstad, and Kevin Graham. I can deliver you incredible mixes and masters that are ready to be heard by the world!

My name is Jesse Joy, and I'm a mixing and mastering engineer for film and orchestral music. I help composers see their vision through and ensure their work reaches its full potential.

What I do isn't just about turning knobs in a studio. To me, audio engineering is about building strong relationships with my clients, truly understanding their music, and ultimately delivering tracks that sound amazing and professional, while also remaining true to their original vision. I'm a composer as well, and I understand that a truly great mix doesn't just nail the technical aspects. A great mix also has that emotional and intangible quality that only someone who understands your music can deliver.

I care about your music, and I can make your songs the best they can be. Let me prove it to you.

I'm all about trust in this profession, and so I offer unlimited free revisions and a full refund if you're not satisfied with the final product.

I base my mixing prices off of the number of multitracks in a project, here's how that breaks down...

• 30 multitracks or less: $200
• Between 30 and 45 multitracks: $300
• Over 45 multitracks: $400

Whenever I mix a track, I include mastering as well for no additional charge. If a song is already mixed, I can master it for $100.

Jesse created an beautiful big cinematic soundscape for my upcoming holidays single "Miracle". Mix and master are immaculate. Jesse is responsive, savvy and easy to work with.

I engaged Jesse to mix and master my latest album. For each of the tracks Jesse provided a draft mix with a very detailed explanation of what was done and why. This was much appreciated. After the mix was finalized then it was mastered. The end result was beyond my expectation. Jesse was able to bring out the richness and diversity in the soundscape that couldn't be heard before. I strongly recommend working with Jesse for your project. I know I will for my next album.

I had the pleasure of working with Jesse Joy on mixing my track "The Hidden Blade," and I couldn't be happier with the results. Jesse was incredibly professional, communicative, and a true joy to collaborate with. He brought a lot of creativity to the mix, enhancing the song's dynamics while staying true to its original vibe. Jesse's attention to detail and ability to understand my vision made the process smooth and enjoyable. If you're looking for a talented and reliable mixing engineer, I highly recommend Jesse Joy!

I had a positive experience working with Jesse on my mix. He managed to capture the sound I had in my head within just two attempts. After the first mix, I shared some specific feedback, and he addressed it perfectly on the second pass, nailing every detail. I’m pleased with the final result and can recommend him.

Jesse is an amazing sound engineer that searches for a real quality and coherence in your mix. He is devoted to fine subtlety to details and really helped my mix sound with richness and freshness in the sound that couldn't be heard before.

I strongly recommend working with him for your projects.

And on top of all that he is also an amazing cellist!

Jesse helped me with an Orchestral cover of “Miracle”. He managed to expertly soften a lot of the top end whilst bringing some lovely width and depth to the lows. I’m extremely happy with his work and I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional mixing/mastering engineer.
by Ardie Son
Jesse is really great at revising the vision on the track that you had in the first place. Making your initial ideas pop out really well. He has a very subtle and sensible way of approaching a mix and somehow knows exactly what you try to convey with your track artistically.
Working with Jesse has been wonderful.

Go Jesse!
by Mitchell Dyer
Jesse is an engineer I would work with again. He worked on the song I produced, "Lucky" by KASS. He is spot on when you give him references to work with and gets back a first version to you quickly. He is super flexible to work with and makes collaboration a treat.

If you want a great sounding song, the investment to work with him is much bigger than what you pay. He is super easy to work with and genuinely cares about how the songs turns out. He strives to mix and master songs for you with such care.

Definitely worth working with again!

Interview with Jesse Joy

Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I adore the process and craft of mixing. Mixing music is like putting together a wonderful sonic jigsaw puzzle, where each element combines to create an end result greater than the sum of its parts. My favourite part of my job is going through the whole mixing process, and hearing the piece get a little closer to its emotional intent after every move. The mixing process is a unique blend of creative and technical mastery, and one I find deeply satisfying.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I primarily work with composers on cinematic and orchestral music. This specialty includes music for media like film/video game scores, live/sampled orchestral and classical pieces, various instrumental music like solo piano, solo guitar, meditation, or ambient, and any project that requires that epic "cinematic" sound.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I love turning physical knobs and the creative limitation that comes with using analog gear. However like many engineers, these days I do most of my work inside the box. The flexibility that comes with digital is just so valuable. In my experience, plugin emulations from companies like Universal Audio are pretty much indistinguishable from their analog counterparts. Plus the ability to save and recall settings, to easily A/B different parameters, and to use many different instances of a plugin across the mix is a huge advantage of the digital domain. But I think the freedom of digital does have a downside. With almost unlimited processing power, it's tempting to throw every plugin you have at a mix and completely over process it. I work mostly in digital, but I adopt a similar workflow to analog where I prioritize the complete mastery of a small selection of tools, rather than using a huge arsenal of hundreds of plugins. I find this more "analog" philosophy forces me to make the most of the tools I have, enhances my creativity, and makes the end result sound more natural and authentic.
