Chillin’ have just released The Family Album, which I had the pleasure of mastering 🎛️

A warm, heartfelt acoustic album dedicated to their children and grandchildren, full of guitars, piano, harmonies and lovely nostalgic songwriting.

Give it a listen 🎶

I’ve started a mailing list.

Very exciting stuff, I know. Try to remain calm.

Occasional emails about mixing, mastering, file prep and finishing tracks.

No daily nonsense. No “unlock your sound” every three days.

Here it is then, the question I get asked most as a mixing engineer 🥁

Should you leave effects on when exporting multitracks?

Short answer: if it’s essential, leave it on.

If it’s just for the rough mix, turn it off.

I recently mixed and mastered “The Falling Man” by Melbourne singer-songwriter Andy Fillmore.

Acoustic-driven at the start, then building into a huge crescendo with hard-hitting electric guitar, drums, bass, and soaring vocal harmonies.

Brilliant songwriting: go check it out!

New guide - This one explains the difference between multitracks and stems, and what you should usually send when getting a song mixed.

Simple version:

Multitracks = individual audio files
Stems = grouped audio files

Cain Ireh has released “GammaDecay” ⚡️

I mixed and mastered this one here in Australia, and what a fantastic track to work on!

Synthwave, dark ambient, darksynth, and a bleak cinematic atmosphere.

Definitely one for headphones 🎧

The Northwest Grifters’ debut album This Side of the River is out now!

A really strong Americana release full of twang, harmony, and honest songwriting. I had the pleasure of mastering this one.

Not sure whether your song needs mixing or mastering? 🎛️

New post on how to tell the difference:

If the issues are inside the song, it probably needs mixing.

If the mix already works, it probably needs mastering.

A calm, meditative didgeridoo-led instrumental with real space, stillness and warmth.
