I'm new here. Let's mix some audio!
I am a sound engineer with experience in various fields. I worked in a live sound, theater, radio and recording studio. Currently, I focus on TV sound, where I produce live programmes or record and do post-production.
I'm proficient with EBU loudness standards.
I'm used to remote (and very fast) workflow used in radio and TV production.
Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.
