Mixing &
Mastering

Close harmony, lead vocals, and live captures that only happened once.

Before / after

Hear the difference, not the description

Same passage, same moment. The toggle holds your position, so you compare like with like.

The work

What actually happens to your song

  1. Listen and ask

    You send a reference. I tell you honestly what is fixable in the mix and what needs a re-take.

  2. Edit

    Where most of the result lives. Comping, timing, tuning, sibilance and plosive repair, breath shaping, noise floor matched across takes.

  3. Mix

    Built around the voice. On close harmony, timbre matching and phase alignment happen before a single fader moves.

  4. Revise

    Two rounds included. Send timestamps, not adjectives, and we will get there faster.

  5. Master

    Streaming, broadcast, and reference masters delivered separately. Stereo or Dolby Atmos.

How to prepare your files

Format

WAV, 24-bit

Session sample rate. No MP3s, no conversion on the way out.

Stems

From zero

Everything exported from the same start point.

Processing

Dry, mostly

Strip the mix bus. Keep effects that are part of the writing and tell me which.

Headroom

No clipping

Peaks under −6 dBFS. If it clipped on the way in, send it anyway.

Naming

Plain words

"Lead Vox", "Alto Dbl 2", "Kick In". Not "Audio 14".

Notes

A reference

One track to sit beside, and what the song is about. Both change decisions.

Live & broadcast

Not every mix starts as a studio file. A good share of mine arrives off a stage.

I run live capture, front of house, and broadcast post on a weekly clock — multitrack off the desk on Sunday, mixed and mastered for release during the week. I own the broadcast chain end to end at a multicultural congregation in Virginia, and the live albums in my catalogue were cut the same way: one take, a full room, no second chance.

The work overlaps more than people expect. Close harmony recorded live has the same problems as close harmony in a booth — timbre matching, phase on doubled passes, a noise floor that has to hold across a whole service — only you cannot re-track it. If you have a service, concert, or live session that needs mixing for release, it comes to this same desk.

  • Multitrack live capture
  • Front of house
  • Stream and broadcast mix
  • Broadcast post, weekly turnaround
  • Live albums, mixed for release
