Rock, Punk & Hardcore Mixing

Carl J on SoundBetter

Trained alongside producer Jay Maas — known for his work with Defeater, Citizen etc. I mix rock, punk, hardcore, and emo records that hit hard and stay true to the raw energy of the music. With 10+ years as a guitarist in bands, I bring a musician's instinct to every session.

After studying studio technology and working closely with producer/engineer Jay Maas, I've spent the last several years building a serious mixing practice in my dedicated home studio in rural Sweden.

I understand the dynamics and raw energy that makes punk, hardcore, emo, and rock recordings feel alive — and I know how to preserve that while making it polished and streaming-ready.

I know where the tension lives in a punk track, how guitars need to breathe in an indie mix, and what it takes to make drums feel like they're in the room.

My process: detailed drum editing, precise vocal tuning, and re-amping for guitar tones
that cut through. Fast turnaround, clear communication, revisions included.

Send me your tracks — I'd love to hear what you're
working on.
