Audio Rescue, Editing & Mixing

Co-arranger on Christafari's Billboard-charting Gravity (2003), with booklet credits on multiple Lion of Zion releases. I edit, restore and mix difficult recordings from different sources into cohesive, natural audio. Dependable long-term partner for music and audio post.

I'm Rob, a recording engineer, musician and arranger with studio and radio experience since the mid-1980s. I bring uneven recordings—from different artists, sessions and studios—into clear, cohesive, release-ready audio.

At Lion of Zion Entertainment, I edited tracks, handled pre-mastering ahead of final mastering, and helped select songs for compilations. Original CD booklets credit me on Monty G's Revolution, Sherwin Gardner's Leaning, Reggae Redemption Songs and Soca Baptism. I also co-arranged two songs on Christafari's Gravity (2003), which debuted at No. 15 on Billboard's Top Reggae Albums chart.

I offer music mixing and mix prep; natural Melodyne vocal tuning, comping and timing; backing-vocal alignment; and dialogue editing and restoration for podcasts, interviews and broadcast. I also take on selected arrangement and instrumental-production work.

My tools include Studio One, Melodyne Studio, iZotope RX 10 and NUGEN. My recording chain includes a Telefunken TF51, Millennia HV-3C and BURL B2 conversion.

I preserve the performance while matching sources in tone, level and feel. Whether it's a song, album or spoken-word project, I aim to be a dependable long-term partner who takes ownership of the audio details.
