Mixing & mastering for rock, metal, grunge, alt, and heavy music. Hybrid workflow with real outboard gear for punch, width, and depth. Fast communication, pro delivery, revisions included.
Welcome to HelmTrax Studios. I help artists turn recordings into mixes that feel finished… the kind that punch you in the chest, stay clear when it gets dense, and still translate on earbuds, cars, and car speakers.
I specialize in rock/metal/grunge/alt and anything with guitars, drums, and attitude. My approach is hybrid: the speed and recall of digital with the weight, glue, and vibe of real analog outboard. If you want modern clarity without losing the human grit, you’re in the right place.
What you can expect-
Impact + clarity: tight low end, controlled harshness, forward vocals
Translation-first: your mix won’t fall apart outside your studio
Artist-friendly communication: clear notes, fast responses, no ego
Professional delivery: streaming-ready, label-ready, and organized files
