free mastering sample
mastering can be a complex process to describe, but it’s easy to hear! 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!
simply fill out the info below to get started.

my clients have earned over 250 million streams. here’s some of my favorites that i've mixed and mastered!
questions?
why do you send two versions of the masters?
i like to send two versions because it gives my clients the option to choose which processing they feel best captures their sonic vision. the ‘mild’ version is a bit more dynamic and subtle, while ‘loud’ is bolder, and prioritizes intensity!
how should i upload my files for mastering?
please export your final mix as a 24-bit, 48kHz WAV file.
if you have multiple songs that you would like to play in a specific order, make sure the file names are labeled like this:
“01_FirstSongName, 02_SecondSongName, etc…”
this will ensure that i have the correct track-list layout!
do you offer mix feedback?
absolutely! this is also a free service because i want you to be 100% satisfied with your mix before it gets to the mastering stage. 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.
what’s the difference between mixing and mastering?
i like to use the analogy of baking a cake to describe these processes!
mixing is the process of combining all your individual elements like flour, sugar, eggs, etc…(808, vocals, synths, etc…) and baking them into a delicious cake (your final mix).
mastering is where we add our final details to that perfectly baked cake (your final mix) as a whole. we’re no longer dealing with individual ingredients, but we’re making sure the icing is beautiful (overall EQ and saturation), adding decorations (creating smooth transitions), and getting it ready to eat (pushing the volume to a competitive level).
do you offer mixing services?
i have a huge passion for mixing, and it’s another service i’m proud to offer! if you’re interested in having your music mixed by me, simply reach out for a quote. be sure to include any links to your existing music and a demo of the song(s) you’re looking to have mixed. that way i can take a listen and see if i think we’d make a great fit sonically!
