I can mix and master your music no matter how you recorded it!
 

I use ProTools HD to mix. Why? It is the best tool for an engineer, including mix automation and editing, quick and comprehensive audio region editing, and superior sound. Why HD? It's the top-of-the-line version, used in commercial studios worldwide.

I have mixed projects recorded in Digital Performer, Cubase, Logic, even GarageBand. Those are all excellent songwriter and composer tools. I can easily convert your files to ProTools for superior mixing. (If you really want me to, I can mix in those and other DAWs.)

If all those perfect tracks need just a little sweetening, I have the best tuning software including Melodyne, Autotune, and WavesTune. And, the ears to do it right.

I am not a composer or songwriter, but I am a well-educated musician with recording and production experience. I have spent my life recording, mixing, performing, and loving all great pop, rock, jazz, movie, classical, and choral music. In the studio or in a mix, I have the knowledge, experience, and perspective to help make your project shine.
