This is one out of a 10-track album. Don’t See Me is one of the most technically demanding and rewarding projects I’ve worked on. I handled the mixing and mastering, using a hybrid workflow that pushed both my technical skills and creative decision-making.

The mixes were mixed in Pro Tools, allowing for detailed editing, automation, and tonal shaping, with plugins from Universal Audio, Sound Toys and Plugin Alliance used to achieve clarity, punch, and cohesion. Once finalised in-the-box, the stereo mix was routed through analog hardware, including a RHEA Vari-Mu compressor and NEVE 542 tape emulators, to add depth, warmth, and subtle harmonic character.

Spatial effects were crafted using the AMS RMX16, creating intentional depth and movement that supports the music’s emotional flow. The final result balances precision with musicality, delivering a polished yet expressive sound. The album is now available on Spotify, iTunes, and all major streaming platforms.
