Example of work: This is a remix of Goliath - Better off Dead that I completed within my 6 hour time frame. Great track to play with, there's some cool post production sound effects and low tom stuff that needed the right treatment. There was a bit of work around the drums needed as an old take was used and needed editing to match the original release version. Once that work was done it was plain sailing from there :)

Great track to work on by Unvisioned, This one, the focus was to get a good balance between heavy and sung vocals. All guitar tracks were provided as DI's so I was able to create my own tones. Completed within my 6 hour time limit.

Rock track by Model Decoy, This mix I felt the bass guitar should sit under the kick for a super fat low end. Clean vocals all the way through so tried not to over cook the effects. Pretty happy with how this one turned out.

This one was a fun track to mix, The DI's were provided so made my own tones for bass and guitar. Completed within my 6 hour timeframe

Souldrainer - AlienTerror - ReMix (Metal)

This is an example of work.
This one was a challenge being I haven't worked in this genre before. I felt putting the bass under the kick worked well. Vocals had a certain nasal tone that I managed to improve in my opinion with saturation.

I wanted massive drums and Guitar for this one, so the challenge was to find the right bass tone that would cut through the mix. I enjoyed working on the 2 different vocal tones, one of which reminded me of Starscream from the original Transformers animation! (super cool) Fun track to work on, completed in 6 hours.

Breaking Point written by Waiting For December

This one was a monster to mix! A 10 minute Prog track with no vocals but Lots and lots of Synth. Super fun, the musicianship is bananas
Pretty happy with how it turned out, but this took a bit longer than my usual 6 hour time limit (13 hours in total!)

Curse of the Forgotten - The Pilgrimage

With this track I found myself in a position where I only had my laptop and some OPPO phone ear-buds, so this was a bit of an experiment
to see how the mix would turn out in comparison to using my usual monitors. I was prepared for this to sound like total garbage but was super surprised with how this turned out!
