Services

​​
 

I offer high quality, fast turnaround post-production services, studio and remote recording. Let me know how I can help!

​​

De-noising: Get the sandwich sounds out of your vocal take. Clean up interview footage. Coughs / squeaks / creaks in live performance footage. Noise floor lowering. Location footage cleanup. I have years of experience with specialized tools to do this subtle work with nuance. Miracles performed daily.

​​

Audio restoration: Wide-ranging services in audio restoration and enhancement, I have the tools and experience to help preserve and in some cases even restore lost moments.

​​

Mixing: It's what I do. Pick your genre. I have an efficient workflow that helps me get great sounds pretty quickly. I focus on and often spend the most time cleaning up source tracks (especially today! Lotta stuff getting made at home.) From simple DIY recordings to high track count pro projects, I'll meet your project where it is, highlight the special in it, and bring it to its best destination.

​​

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. Also, it's gonna sound great -- in my calibrated listening environment, I'll leverage my deep experience and world-class equipment to put the finishing touches on your project with the utmost care.

​

Immersive Mastering: The new frontiers of spatial audio are here. I master for Dolby Atmos, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and emerging open formats like Eclipsa Audio, working in a calibrated 7.2.4 monitoring environment built specifically for this work. Whether you're delivering to Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, or preparing for theatrical/broadcast distribution, I'll ensure your immersive mix translates beautifully across playback systems from soundbars to full Atmos home theaters to headphones. I bring the same care and precision to spatial masters that I do to stereo; critical listening, proper loudness and dynamic range for each delivery spec, and meticulous attention to how your spatial intent reads on real-world systems. If you're working in immersive for the first time, I can also help guide you through format selection and delivery requirements so your project reaches listeners the way you intended.

​​​​

Recording: Some projects are perfect for my basement project studio, I freelance out of numerous awesome studios in the Mountain West region, and I am well equipped for location Recording: I can bring 24+ channels to you. I have experience collaborating with film crews for your music video or other music film project, and I can capture audio in up to 9.4 surround formats.

lets make stuff

For some, it's all about the result; for many, it's the journey. I'm here for all of it. I sit at a unique intersection: artist, producer, engineer, composer; and from that vantage point I can see possibilities that are less visible from any single seat.

​​

I learn something new every day. This is a craft that tests you first and teaches you later. I don't think I know everything, or that there's only one way to do anything.

​​

I also don't undervalue my considerable knowledge and experience. I've been thinking a lot about aging while traversing the half-century mark. A lot of folks believe "aging well" has everything to do with maintaining youth and cheating the aging process. That getting older is somehow "less than" and a loss of potency. I believe quite the opposite.

​

I haven't done it all, far from it, but it's fair to say that I've seen some things. I'm able to calmly apply reason and logic, pattern-matching, and ingenuity (utterly unavailable to me 20 years ago) to quickly devise solutions with quiet calm, steady leadership, and even some laughs.

​​

Hi, I'm Jim. I lead successful projects and make beautiful recordings. I'd love to help with yours.
