    paper Heavy Metal Album Vocal Editing, Mixing & Mastering

    I worked from multitrack recordings including real guitar and bass amp tracks, along with drum performances that were played live and reinforced using sample libraries. I handled the complete mixing and mastering process across the full album.

    This included shaping and enhancing the drum sound for consistency and impact, refining guitar and bass tones to achieve clarity and weight, and building a balanced, cohesive sound across all tracks.

    Vocals were fully edited and tuned, including timing correction and pitch refinement, and processed to sit clearly and powerfully within the mix.

    A key focus was maintaining consistency throughout the album while allowing each track to retain its own character, ensuring a professional and cohesive listening experience from start to finish.

    Final deliverables included full album mixes and masters prepared for both streaming platforms and CD release.

    paper Modern Metal (with electronic elements) Audio Engineering, Mixing & Mastering

    I worked from raw multitrack stems along with drum and bass MIDI files, handling the full mix and master process from the ground up.

    This included humanizing and refining MIDI drum and bass performances, building drum sounds from sample libraries, and shaping the low-end between kick and bass to achieve a tight, punchy rhythm section.

    I also handled guitar and bass tone development, selecting and refining amp sounds to fit the mix and maintain clarity without masking other elements.

    Vocals were processed and integrated into the mix to sit clearly and consistently within the overall balance.

    The goal was a modern, powerful sound that translates well across streaming platforms while preserving the energy of the performance.

    Final deliverables included a full mix and a streaming-ready master.
