SERVICE
AUDIO EDITING
By editing individual recordings first, I ensure the best possible foundation for all subsequent steps in the mixing process.
Speech and vocal recordings often contain smacks, hisses, plosives, unwanted reverb, and other sources of interference, which I can greatly reduce or even remove.
Recordings may also have clicks, pops, and dropouts that I can remove precisely without creating any audible artifacts.
If there is a rhythmic deviation in an otherwise excellent take, I can correct it accurately to the beat without changing the pitch or overall length.
AUDIO MIXING
As a mixing engineer, my job is to take individual tracks and blend them together to create a cohesive and polished final product.
This involves matching each track in terms of sound and dynamics, while also incorporating other elements like effects, samples, automation, and more.
During the mixing process, I can add or replace instruments, adjust vocals syllable by syllable, and fine-tune the overall sound to bring out the best in each track.
I have a wide range of virtual instruments, samples, plugins, and outboard gear at my disposal to achieve the best possible result.
DRUMS ReSAMPLING
Recording drums can be the biggest challenge for many bands in order to achieve high-quality results. However, even poorly recorded drums can be salvaged through this process called resampling.
This may even involve creating a virtual recording of an acoustic drum kit, which is then processed further in the form of up to 32 mono channels. This allows for the timing and dynamics of the original performance to be retained as best as possible, while avoiding the impression of a drum machine.
To accomplish this, I use Toontrack's Superior Drummer, which offers countless kits recorded in first-class studios as a basis. I can ensure that the resampled drums blend seamlessly with the rest of the mix and sound natural.
GUITAR ReAMPING
Reamping guitars or bass involves recording the instrument's DI signal and then playing it back through a different amp, speaker, or mic setup, without compromising the original performance.
In some cases, the original guitar or bass recording may not suit the desired mix. In these instances, a DI box can be used to tap the signal between the instrument/pedals and the amplifier.
When mixing, the ability to adjust amp and mic settings can lead to superior results. With access to a range of amps and pedals from Fractal Audio System's Axe-Fx III, plugins from Neural DSP, and high-quality impulse responses, the possibilities for tone shaping and sound design are endless.
