Andrew Isdale is a mixing engineer, producer, and musician based in Auckland, New Zealand. With strong musical foundations in jazz, rock and drum & bass, he has worked with artists across Aotearoa spanning a wide range of genres. His mixing credits include Katchafire, Reiki Ruawai, Summer Thieves, Joe Kaptein, Thabani Gapara and Crystal Chen.

What sets Andrew's mixing apart is the combination of musical sensitivity from years as a touring jazz session musician, and the technical precision of a drum & bass producer. That combination creates a versatile skillset that brings clarity, dynamics, depth and musicality to densely arranged music.

Andrew’s workflow is fast and efficient. Years of hands-on studio experience combined with a background in jazz improvisation allows him to quickly create or replace parts as needed, whether it’s sax, guitar, bass, or keys. If your track needs a full mix & master or an arrangement needs filling out, Andrew can sort you out.

I had the pleasure of working with Andrew on my album, where he handled the mixing, mastering, and production and I couldn’t be happier with the result. He is incredibly professional, with a fast turnaround on mixes while still maintaining a high standard. Andrew is efficient, detail-oriented, and truly listens to the music, bringing out elements I didn’t even realise were possible. He added a depth and life to my tracks that elevated the entire project. On top of that, he’s a talented musician himself, which really shows in the quality of his work.

Andrew's mixing and musical expertise has breathed new life into my own and many other's musical projects. Being able to have my ideas and instructions for my own music translated into a mix quickly and efficiently to Andrew's level is exceptional - and coupled with his practical musical taste across many styles, technical knowledge and workflow, and instinct for an impactful mix makes for a great working experience. Give him a buzz!!!
