remote heavy music mix/masters

Heavy music needs mixes with weight and clarity - that's my lane. Metal/prog specialist with 15+ years in professional audio: 200+ songs produced, broadcast engineering background. Punishing low end, articulate midrange, indie-friendly rates, fast remote turnaround.

I've spent my life inside heavy music - as a producer, engineer, and artist. I've written and produced over 200 songs across my own projects, worked as a broadcast audio engineer, and run live production professionally for years. I know what a djent palm mute should feel like in your chest, how to keep a blast beat articulate instead of a wall of mud, and how to make a seven-string sit under a vocal without swallowing it.

My specialty is mixing and mastering for metal, prog, and adjacent heavy genres - the Devin Townsend/Gojira/Mastodon end of the spectrum - though my broadcast background means I'm just as comfortable with clean, dynamic material when the song calls for it.

Why hire me over a bigger name: attention. Your record isn't one of forty on my bench this month. I work closely with artists, communicate fast, and treat revision notes as collaboration instead of annoyance. Every project gets referenced on multiple systems before delivery, and I master with both streaming loudness targets and dynamics in mind - loud where it should be, alive where it matters.

If you're an independent heavy band that wants your record to hit the way it does in the room, send me a track. First-time clients get a free test mix of one song section so you can hear the fit before you commit.
