/ Mixer / Mastering Engineer
My job is simple: Make your record the best thing you've ever done.
From the first demo to the final master, I figure out what the record needs and do whatever it takes to get it there.
I listen to every submission personally.
I produce. I engineer. I mix. I master. I write. I play. I build weird shit.
There is no formula.
Every artist and every record needs something different. I figure out what yours needs and build the process around it.
You don't need to know exactly what you need.
Send me what you have.
Demo, rough mix, voice memo, released song, unfinished session. It does not need to be ready.
I listen.
Personally. I figure out what the record needs and whether I'm the right person to help. If I'm not, I'll tell you.
We build the plan.
A video call about the music, the scope, the priorities, the budget, and the best way forward.
Not sure which one you need? That's part of what we'll figure out.
These records didn't just sound better. They changed careers.
Breakout records. Platinum songs. Reinventions that became the band's legacy. Comebacks that produced some of the biggest songs of the artist's career. A self-release that became a label deal, a touring band, and a three-album world.
Six artists. Six different problems. Six stories about what the record needed, the decisions we made, and what happened after it worked.
The Story So Far
Built from the beginning, then pushed to evolve before it could coast.
Basement
They thought it was their last record. A decade later it went Platinum.
SpiritWorld
Demos, a fictional universe, and no blueprint. We built the whole world.
You don't need another course. You need someone who can hear what you're missing.
I've spent more than 20 years producing, recording, mixing, mastering, building studios, and solving problems inside real sessions.
If you're already making records and want help getting better at it, I offer private mentorship built around the work you're actually doing.
Everything else I built came out of doing this job better.
I built the place too.
Three studios, a full engineering team, live rooms, lodging, and the infrastructure to make records without leaving the building. I built Panda to be bigger than just me.
I built the products. Then I figured out how to make people care.
Rooms, chains, and production ideas from the records, turned into tools more than 200,000 musicians use. Deathwestern is the SpiritWorld guitar sound, sold as a plugin.
Guitar Center accidentally advertised Universal Audio's $10,995 bundle for $69.30, then canceled the orders. I watched the reaction happen in real time and decided Purafied should do the opposite. Before the day was over, our $473 Everything Bundle was on sale for $2.38.
"Every time we've recorded with him, it's been extremely comfortable."
Let's make something fucking great.
If you have a record you care about, I want to hear it.
