Mixing is SO important.
I have seen great mixes make an artist cry with joy.
When I deliver a mix, I want my clients to feel ecstatic that we nailed both the vision and the vibe.

Who I Am
My name is Mark and I personally mix all of the work here. My 30 years in audio ranges from studying and performing music at a young age, recording & producing indie artists in New York in the ’00s, building studios and gear, mixing dance music, mixing film music, to producing sample libraries and production music.
Our time together may be brief, but I believe that good partnerships cross-pollinate ideas for a lifetime. I openly share referrals, advice on acoustics, gear, production, business opportunities, etc. with my clients whenever I can help them get to where they’re going.
My Promise to You
I will be open and honest with you, feed you ideas, and help you achieve your vision for each of your babies the best I can.
Send me a link to a rough mix of your latest project, I’ll have a listen to it in my treated mix room, and we’ll get you on a plan to release your best-sounding work. Thanks for stopping by. You can also use the link below to hear my work.

A PROBLEM
Artists bring into the world something new. Something still undefined.
Artists want people to people feel the depth and meaning in their music.
But attention spans are short and expectations are very high.
A SOLUTION
With every production stage, give more than they expect.
Take your songs all the way. Believe in yourself. Invest in yourself.

Our album was a mix of many styles, and he met each one with skillfulness and flexibility. Mark was very thorough, and worked very hard on getting our songs to sound in ways that we liked. He really cared about our project, was patient, and went the extra mile to create high quality work, for which we are very grateful.
Ruta & Kevin
Working with Mark is awesome. He has a deep knowledge of sound and a ton of experience. He’s an excellent listener and delivered exactly what I asked for. I’ve worked with him on multiple projects including a commercial and short form videos, on which he went above and beyond to make sure I got what I needed and all before deadline. I can’t recommend Mark enough!
Stephanie Ewens
It was a pleasure to work with Mark. He is an absolute professional who adapts to his client’s needs, working on budget and on time, while still maintaining the highest standards of quality. He’s a perfectionist for your work. I’m looking forward to working with him again in the future.
Michele Meek
Mark helped make my burgeoning video production practice into a polished reality. I learned approaches to working with image and sound that I still use in my work today.
Josh Weinstein
Mark always delivered. Even when that meant crazy hours, and impossible requests.
