When working with arts, there might not be right and wrong way for doing things. Still it can be done well or poorly.

I'm an audio engineer born in 1992. Despite my young age I've got about 20 years of experience with music and sound. While working as a full time professional, I've been involved in production of thousands of songs. I gratuated from PKKY Outokumpu, program of Sound Production in 2015.

In my work, i value customer service the most. Pleasant, comfortable atmosphere and effectiveness are a couple things i'm always trying to maintain. I dont restrict myself by creating rules or dogmas that could limit my work. I do everything to serve the end product.

I have a wide experience in music and audio. I can provide my customer an effortless, yet very efficient recording session and high quality post production; mixing and mastering. I'm also capable of helping you out with the production side of things when needed.

What I offer:

- Mastering: high quality mastering for digital and physical audio formats, such as vinyl, CD, stream or cassette.

- Mixing: singles and albums, music or other audio.

- Recording I mostly work with larger productions using a rental studio space, shoot me a message!

I work mostly from my own space which is located right by the Tampere city centre. The equipment selection constists of things i've aquired trough a very long time like Amphion three way speaker system, and a carefully thought out chain of mastering prosessors. In my work, i use standard pro audio software alongside of analogue equipment.

For a larger recording session there's multiple professional studios around Finland at my disposal at very reasonable rates. Please ask for more info!

Please be aware, that I work with analogue equipment - if you want to alter a mix more than once, or you want to revisit multiple mixes, when we've already started mastering, that's going to take more time on my end and is billed hourly. Revisions on the masters are included in the rates to the point when they are approved.

Other mastering work:

DDP file sets or vinyl premasters from masters done elsewhere, c-cassette premaster sequencing etc. Ask for a quote!

Mixing is always tailored to suit your needs! How many tracks and songs are there? Have you done the recording in home or in a studio? Do you need editing or tuning? What is your budget?

Sometimes we polish a single very carefully for several days. Sometimes the budget is tight and we need to mix an EP in a day. That's all OK and i approach every project in a mindset to make the most out of it.

Typical album takes me 3-6 days to mix.

I mostly do recording work in other professional studios. Ask!

To mastering:

- Finished mix as a wav-file.
- Keep original sample rate and bit depth. Don't down- or upsample, please.
- If you're using master limiting or heavy processing on master buss to raise level, I recommend taking those off.
- Double check the files for errors before sending.
- You can add the song info into the text field: for example song and artist names. If you want some metadata (not mandatory) on your files, please add the info too. You can deliver your invoicing details here too.

Send

To stem mastering:

Otherwise all the same instruction as in regular stereo mastering but:

- If you've mixed using master buss processing, please make sure the processing works as wanted also when only bouncing/exporting the stems through it.
- Before sending, please make sure the mix still works, syncs and sounds the same when playing the stems as a whole.
- Name the stems properly and place the in a folder.
- Please ask if there's anything that raises questions!

Send

To mixing:

- Tracks as wav-files.
- Keep the original sample rate and bit depth.
- Please name the tracks descriptively. Add track numbers if possible.
- Every track should have the same starting point. For example, if the vocal starts at 00:34, then the vocal track should have 34sec of silence/empty space in the beginning.
- Double check the tracks before sending and make sure they sync correctly. Compress the folder to a zip- or a rar-file.
- You can also send me Pro Tools sessions. Ask!
