Mixing and Mastering Engineer

I’m Douglas Sharpee, a mixing and mastering engineer and Dark Horse Institute graduate, where I trained under a Grammy Award-winning engineer, Dave Hagen. I bring critical listening, attention to detail, and a collaborative approach to helping your music find its fullest expression.

Your song has its own personality. My job is to bring it to life and not change what makes it yours.

I combine the precision and flexibility of Pro Tools with the warmth and character of vintage analog equipment to give your music clarity, depth, and dimension without losing the emotion behind the performance. Being a musician myself, I know there's more to a great record than getting the levels and frequencies right. I listen to the groove, the arrangement, the energy, and those little moments that make a song connect with someone. Sometimes it's the smallest details that make the biggest difference. Beyond mixing, I can also help with additional instrumental parts, session playing, or re-recording a section that needs a little extra attention. Nothing gets changed without a conversation first. The goal is always to do what's best for your song.

I believe the best results come from working together. I'll take the time to understand your vision, listen to your references, and communicate openly throughout the process. Whether you know exactly how you want your record to sound or you're still searching for that direction, I'm here to help you get there.

I'm happy to share examples of my finished mixes so you can hear my work for yourself. Tell me a little about your music, what inspired it, and what you're hoping to achieve. I'd love to hear what you're working on.
