Mixing and Mastering
Hi, for a while now I’ve been mixing and mastering artists from Carl Cox to Kylie Minogue to young producers at the beginning of their journey.
My forte has always been my ear and my ability to make things sound clear and detailed. I’ve mixed for clubs, events, streaming services, films, TV and everything in between. I have a strong and current understanding of how things should sound across all mediums.
Thanks to my gear I’ve got some pretty good help to ensure things sound dynamic, loud and professional. I can master a two track through it all or mix down your grouped stems allowing me to balance the bottom end whilst widening and sharpening the rest for significantly better results. My final master will be loud enough to play out at any event or on any medium including Spotify, Beatport, SoundCloud, YouTube and all other platforms and streaming services.
Stem mixing and mastering is $400 AUD + GST per track. Individual track mastering is $100 AUD + GST per track, all other audio production mixing mastering is billed at $300 per hour. Please contact us to book in your session.
The results
VO and Vocal Recording
We have lots of experience in finding, directing and recording the right voice overs and vocals for your project. We’ve scouted, directed and recorded voice overs for major films, video games and multi national corporations. We’ve recorded voice actors for video games and films and we’ve recorded vocalists in house and remotely for several worldwide hit records.
We use a purpose built vocal booth that features a wide range of high end microphones including Neumann, AKG, Rode, Shure and Studio Projects. Everything is recorded through the latest Neve mixing boards and mic pre amps and finally through the highest quality analogue to digital converters and analog transformers from Burl.
We can wire in producers remotely via a high quality audio feed with direct talkback to vocalist. Please contact us to discuss your vocal requirements. Our hourly rate is $300 per hour including engineer.
Feedback from producers
“Davide has an outstanding ear for mixing and mastering. My productions involve a lot of instrumentation, often with live strings and horns. Davide gives me the depth, bottom end, clarity, and warmth I need to bring this all to life and exist on a pumping dancefloor. His studio is top class, a true master of his craft, and someone I regard as a vital and integral part of my work.”
“Davide is a professional with an ear for mixing and mastering. He brought out the clarity and warmth I was lacking and left me with a world class record ready for the mainstage. He also breaks down his process and gives me advice on how I can get my mixes better. Davide will be putting his magic touch on all my records moving forward. Very grateful to have found a true master of his craft.”
“I have been lucky enough to have Davide work over a variety of music since finishing at his school ‘School of Synthesis’. Once a track has gone through the process in his studio, the track no matter the genre, always comes to life. He definitely puts a lot of thought and care into his work and is always open to questions and provides advice where needed.”
“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Davide for over 12 years. He has mixed and mastered our music delivering great results for every track. Davide’s craft and gear ensures our music gets the clarity, width and depth it needs to stand out. It’s a thrill when a project is finished and we always learn something new from each experience. The process has taught us to re-evaluate our arrangements and be braver with our use of sound and space.”

Davide has been a key support on my musical journey. With his new Neve desk I have heard the best improvement on my mixes yet. For the Ungus Ungus Ungus album Constellations I brought him mixes I had already refined to the best of my abilities, and in a couple of days he made them 30% more lively, bright, dynamic, and pumping than where I was able to get to. I’ve never met a producer with such an understanding of both live and electronic instruments, and how to make them work seamlessly in tandem
