ENGINEERED FOR

Here’s how we can collab:

Mixing

I’ll take your productions to the next level by giving them a proper mix. I blend all of the individual tracks so that your drums hit harder, your melodies cut through, and your vocals shine!

Mastering

The final step in the process. I’ll take your finished mixes and give them the overall “glue”, intensity, and volume they need to stand out on all platforms. Loud, clean, and undeniable.

From the sound in your head, to the sound in your speakers

Tune the vision

We hop on a call to dial in what you care about most: how your production should sound, feel, and impact your listeners. It's all about the vibe.

Make it knock

I spend a few days mixing and mastering your songs so they sound perfect on every system; from tiny earbuds, to massive club speakers. No compromises.

Maximize the impact

I send the tracks, you listen to them roughly a million times, and I make any final tweaks to take us over the finish line. We're ready to drop.

Take a listen

My clients have earned over 250 million streams. Here’s some of my favorites that I've mixed and mastered!

"Incredibly knowledgeable and resourceful engineer.

I gave him the freedom to take some creative liberties and I wasn’t disappointed.

He was able to enhance the artistic essence of my art and even take some tracks to a much higher level than before.”

I believe collaboration is the best way to grow

Yo, I’m Jimmy DeRosa! I’ve been a hip-hop and R&B engineer for over a decade, and I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of producers and artists, from total beginners, all the way to industry pros.

And one thing that earning 250 million streams, and thousands of hours in the studio has taught me: success isn’t a solo sport.

Most producers don’t struggle with making something sound good, they struggle with the final 10%, where things often fall apart. It’s overwhelming ALSO managing the hundreds of little details it takes to properly mix and master their songs. 

Thankfully, you don’t have to handle it alone. I love loudness meters, taming harsh frequencies, and tweaking compressor settings…I specialize in little details, so you don’t have to. You handle the production, I’ll make sure it sounds like a record.

FAQ

I get it! If you love the work your buddy is doing, keep working with them! But having a trusted engineer who can help craft your sound is invaluable. Most folks don’t have the experience, time, or tools to take your music to the next level.

Unless you specify another format you’d prefer, all mixes will be delivered as 24-bit, 48kHz WAV files.

Mixing turnaround is typically around 3-5 days, and mastering turnaround is typically 48-72 hours. But if it’s crunch-time and you need your record out asap, hit me up to discuss a custom rush fee.

Nope! YOU are the owner of your music.

A great mastering engineer knows what platforms like Spotify and Apple Music prefer regarding loudness levels, volume peaks, specific file formats, and much more. Having your songs mastered by a professional who cares about these details, means better sounding, louder, and more impressive songs for you and your fans!

I’m happy to offer a 30-second mastering sample so that you can experience your song as it’s meant to be heard. It’s a risk-free way to see if we’ll be a good fit for each other sonically. If you love what you hear, you can purchase the full song immediately!

Absolutely! Mastering won’t fix a bad recording or a bad mix, so it’s crucial we get those right before jumping into the mastering stage.

I couldn’t say it any better myself, so I’m borrowing the words from mastering engineer Chris Graham:

 “I don’t post a gear list, and here’s why: I strive to operate my business with the highest level of integrity, and getting into a ‘gear-list war’…isn’t a battle worth fighting. If you’d like to hear what I can do for your music, please send me a song for a free mastering sample.”
