Music Producer | Mixing & Mastering | Audio Engineer | Composer
I’m a creative audio wizard, with over 20 years in the industry as a music producer, mixing engineer, audio engineer, and composer. The New York Times calls my work "darkly exhilarating", and I have over 5 million views on my online music videos. Whatever your project needs are, I'll use an extremely diverse, expert-level skill set to get you there quickly. Here are some ways I can help: 📀 Mixing & Mastering: send me stems or a rough mix, and I will highlight just the right elements while shaping the dynamics and tonality to achieve maximum emotional and physical impact. My focus is on soul, jazz, hip-hop, and classical genres, but I can also mix other styles, just send me your references. Listen to 'Soul Funk Mix & Master' in my portfolio below for an example. 🏥 Music Restoration: send me your single audio file and I’ll re-balance and enhance the vocals, improve or create a stereo image, clean up distortion and clipping, and re-master it to sound impressive on all devices. Listen to 'Audio Repair - Music’ below. 🔊 Audio Restoration: send me your damaged recordings and I'll remove noises like wind, traffic, birds, background hums, distortion, clicks, and echos to give your content the clarity it deserves. Listen to 'Audio Repair - Voice' below for extreme before/after examples. 🎛 Music Production/Songwriting: morphing your bare-bones concept into a full-bodied track that hits hard. I can also add live drums, synths, or vocals myself, or source other top musicians, record them, and add their contributions to your track. 🎙 Podcast Editing: reducing episode lengths while preserving your core message, add intros/outros and ad spots, repair damaged recordings, eliminate background noises, sweeten voices, reduce dynamic range, create original sound design, do multi-camera video editing, select and create highlights for social media, add captions, and master audio for high intelligibility in all listening situations. Listen to 'Podcast Audio / Video Editor' below. 📚 Audiobook Editing: audio cleanup such as removing breath sounds and mouth noises, enhancing vocal clarity and intelligibility, and mastering your audio according to Audible / ACX Audio Submission Requirements. 📱 Social Media Audio Enhancement: optimizing the balance and sound of your content for maximum audience impact on YouTube, Instagram, and Tiktok. 💬 Consultation: grow your own knowledge while improving the end result. With over a decade of consulting experience, I can advise and help you create the optimal audio strategy for your project. I love the satisfaction of helping to bring a client's vision to life.
