Let's Forge Your Killer Sound
Editing + Mixing + Analog Mastering
Scope: This is my all-in, premium package. I take your raw tracks and personally guide them through every stage, transforming them into a face-melting, release-ready powerhouse.
For You: If you demand the absolute best for your music and want a seamless process handled by someone who lives and breathes heavy tones, this is it.
What I Do For You:
• Ruthless Editing: First, I build a rock-solid foundation. Tightening timing like a snare crack (quantization), aligning instruments so they hit like one massive force, picking the best takes (comping), cleaning up noise, and even applying pitch correction if needed – all done with musicality.
• Hybrid Mixing Powerhouse: I dive deep into your tracks, balancing levels, carving EQ space for every instrument, taming dynamics with compression, adding depth with reverb/delay, and maximizing stereo impact. Using the best digital tools for precision and analog mojo for character, I bring out the clarity, punch, and raw emotion in your music.
• High-End Analog Mastering: The final sonic polish happens through my dedicated analog chain. This isn't just about loudness; it's about cohesion, warmth, glue, and that expensive 'finished' sound. Your music will translate powerfully across all systems, ready to conquer streaming, CD, or vinyl.
• Your Sound, Your Way: We'll work together with revisions until you're 100% stoked with the result.
Forged with Analog Legends: Manley Massive Passive Mastering EQ, Manley Variable MU Mastering Compressor, Rupert Neve Designs Portico II Master Buss Processor, SSL BUS+ Compressor, SSL Fusion Analog Processor.
Analog Mastering Only
Scope: Got a killer mix that just needs that final layer of analog magic? I'll take your stereo track and run it through my high-end mastering gear.
For You: Perfect if you've nailed the mix yourself or worked with another engineer, but crave that professional analog polish, warmth, and competitive loudness.
What I Do For You: I fine-tune the stereo image, apply subtle (or not-so-subtle!) EQ tweaks, control dynamics for punch and glue, and optimize loudness for industry standards, all while adding that undeniable analog character.
Featuring: Manley Massive Passive Mastering EQ, Manley Variable MU Mastering Compressor, RND Portico II Master Buss Processor, SSL Fusion, SSL BUS+.
Mixing Only
Scope: Your tracks are edited and tight, ready to be forged into a cohesive, powerful mix. Send 'em over!
For You: Ideal if you handle your own editing or have clean recordings that don't need surgical timing fixes, but you want my ears and skills to blend everything into a professional sound.
What I Do For You: I balance levels, carve EQ space for every instrument, apply dynamics processing for impact, use spatial effects (reverb, delay) to create depth, and employ automation and creative effects to bring your song to life. It's all about clarity, punch, and vibe.
Mixing + Analog Mastering
Scope: Taking your already edited tracks through both my detailed mixing process and the final analog mastering stage.
For You: You've got the edits sorted, now let me handle the rest – crafting the mix and giving it that final analog mastering treatment for a release-ready sound.
What I Do For You: All the goodness of the "Hybrid Mixing Powerhouse" service, followed directly by the "Pure Analog Mastering Power" stage using my dedicated hardware chain. The complete journey from edited tracks to finished master.
Mastering Chain: Manley Massive Passive, Manley Variable MU, RND Portico II Master Buss, SSL Fusion, SSL BUS+.
Reamping (Guitar / Bass)
Scope: Got clean DI tracks of your guitar or bass? Let's inject some serious amp tone! I'll run your signal through my extensive collection of amps, pedals, and modelers.
For You: Perfect for musicians or producers who record DIs at home but want access to a massive palette of professional, high-gain (or clean!) amp sounds without owning all the gear.
What I Do For You: You tell me the vibe you're after, and I'll craft the tone using either top-tier digital modelers/profilers or real analog amps and pedals. You get back killer-sounding 'wet' tracks ready to drop into your mix.

Digital: Boss GT-1000CORE, Fractal Audio (AX8, Axe-Fx II XL+, Axe-Fx III MKII, FM3), Headrush MX5, HoTone Ampero, Kemper Profiler, Line 6 (Helix Rack, HX Stomp, POD Go), Neural DSP Quad Cortex, Nux MG-30.

Alright, let's get real about forging YOUR killer sound: Look, I'm obsessed with tone, but even my analog arsenal works best with a solid foundation. The old saying holds true – you can't polish... well, you know. This is where editing comes in, and it's a critical step I offer. Think of it this way: Editing is forging the raw metal – tightening timing, aligning hits, choosing the best performances, cleaning up noise. It builds the structural integrity. Mixing is shaping that metal – balancing, EQing, adding effects, creating the overall power and vibe. Mastering is the final hardening and polish, ensuring it withstands any playback system. Tackling fundamental timing or performance issues during the mix compromises the entire structure. Whether you need me to handle the meticulous editing from the start (like in the all-in package) or you're providing tracks already prepped for mixing, ensuring that foundational work is solid is paramount. My mission here at Develop Device Studio is to take your music to its absolute peak. Let's build it right, from the ground up. Ready to start forging? 🤘
