Recording, mixing, mastering, and post-production. From my Denver studio and on location throughout the Mountain West. I've spent decades doing this work, and I meet every project on its own terms, with the same attention whatever its scale.

Immersive Mastering

The new frontiers of spatial audio are here, and I believe acoustic music, chamber music, New Music, and contemporary classical deserve to be part of them.

I master for Dolby Atmos in a calibrated 7.2.4 monitoring environment, and I'm tracking the emerging open formats coming up behind it.

Whether you're delivering to streaming platforms, preparing for theatrical distribution, exploring spatial audio for the first time, or composing a piece where space is part of the music from the start, I'd love to talk about your project.

Immersive Catalog Reissues

Give a back catalog a second commercial life — bringing recordings you've already made to new listeners, on the platforms that increasingly reward spatial audio. Whether the original sessions are intact or scattered across formats and years, there's usually a path into Dolby Atmos.

If you're a label thinking about your catalog in spatial audio, let's talk about what's possible.

Stereo Mastering

Mastering has changed. The toolsets have evolved profoundly, and delivery requirements have become more complex; sometimes it feels like they change every week. We'll release your project following the current standards for each delivery medium. And it's going to sound great. In my calibrated listening environment, I'll put the finishing touches on your project with world-class equipment and the kind of deep experience that only comes from doing this for a long time.

Mixing

It's what I do. Pick your genre. I focus on and often spend the most time cleaning up source tracks, especially today, when a lot of great music gets made at home. From simple DIY recordings to high track count professional sessions, I'll meet your project where it is, highlight the special in it, and bring it to its best destination.

Recording

Some projects are perfect for my studio. I also freelance out of studios across the Mountain West, and I'm well equipped for location recording: 24+ channels, experience collaborating with film crews, and the ability to capture audio in immersive surround formats on site.

If the room is part of the music, I know how to listen to it.

Audio Restoration & De-noising

Get the sandwich sounds out of your vocal take. Clean up interview footage. Coughs, squeaks, and creaks in live performance recordings. Noise floor lowering. Location footage cleanup.

I have years of experience with specialized tools to do this subtle work with nuance.
