Services

I can provide expert feedback on production, mixing, and mastering, as well as feedback and advice on making your work fit in any variety of release mediums or formats. I also work closely with record labels on promotion, so happy to provide advice there, too! My feedback is probably most useful for tracks finishing production, as my expertise tends to lie in mixing, mastering, and sound quality; you can think of me as a fresh set of ears!
