Mixes are completed in-the-box as it allows me to achieve excellent results while also offering unlimited revisions due to the ease of recalls. Digital technology is producing great results for 'big time' artists, and for me, its benefits greatly outweigh the drawbacks of analog. When you order my service, you are paying for my skills, ears, experience, and creativity because these are the qualities that will ultimately serve your music most effectively.

I implement a great selection of high quality plug-ins which I use for corrective or creative purposes. Knowing when to use, when not to use, and what tool to use to properly convey a piece of music is a large part of my role. I recognize that 'analog vibe' can play an important role in the sound of some styles of music. For this reason I also turn to analog emulations of compressors, eq's, consoles, and tape to color the sound whilst still reaping the benefits of working digitally.

I possess digital and convolution reverbs with impulse responses from many of the world class reverb units and have a wide range of drum samples, amp simulators, stereo enhancers, and effect processors to be judiciously added to recordings. Mixes are checked on various speaker systems to ensure that the music translates properly to your listeners whether in a home theater, a car, or through their iPod headphones.
