Frequently Asked Questions

How much do you charge?

Every project is different — but my clients often say my mixes sound way more expensive than they are. Once I know your project details, I’ll give you a clear quote. No surprises, no hidden fees.

What services do you offer for modern rock & metal music?

Most of the time, I’m brought in to mix & master songs.

Depending on your needs, I can also deliver vinyl/DDP masters, or even Dolby Atmos. And if you need support beyond mixing, I work with a creative collective who cover everything from songwriting to video production — so you’re fully covered.

How long does it take for you to mix a song / EP / album?

Most singles are turned around in a week or less, full albums obviously take longer. My priority is always quality — but if you’ve got a deadline, I’ll work with you to hit it.

I’ve worked with mixing engineers before — but it didn’t do anything for my music.

I hear this a lot (just not from my clients 😂). Many bands invest money in a mix and get something back that either doesn’t sound much better — or completely misses their vision.

Here’s where I’m different:

Specialization: I mix only Rock & Metal. I know how the drums need to punch, how guitars have to sound massive, and how vocals cut through a dense wall of sound.

Process: You’ll get an early first mix so we immediately know if we’re aligned. No guessing games, no waiting weeks just to find out the sound isn’t right.

Responsiveness: I reply quickly. You won’t be left hanging, wondering when (or if) you’ll hear back.

The result? A mix that’s not just technically clean, but one that makes your music sound bigger, bolder, and ready to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the bands that inspire you.

Why should we invest in mixing if we already have a solid rough mix?

Because a rough mix won’t hold up next to today’s top releases.


My job is to take what already sounds good and make it competitive with the bands you admire.

Think local demo vs. international release.
Think dust-collector vs. circle pit starter.

That’s the difference a pro mix makes.

What files do you need to mix my production?

All I need are clean, well-labeled tracks and a rough mix for reference. I’ll send you simple prep instructions so nothing gets lost in translation. (Link: How to Send Files for Mixing. )

How do I get started?

It's really simple, just send me a message or book a call so we can chat about your music.
