About Andrew

I’m a professional musician and audio engineer with over 10 years of experience as a touring artist, followed by a full transition into music production and mixing. Before moving behind the console full-time, I spent years in recording studios—on both sides of the glass—learning what actually makes a mix work in real-world situations. I trained at Frightbox Recording Academy, where I developed a strong foundation in modern recording and mixing techniques. Since then, I’ve worked with a wide range of artists through Fiverr and other freelancing platforms, helping musicians turn rough recordings into clear, powerful, release-ready mixes. I specialize in mixing inside REAPER, with a practical, song-first approach. My goal isn’t to overwhelm you with theory or presets—it’s to help you understand why things work, so you can confidently mix your own music. I’m also highly experienced with EZdrummer, EZbass, and Auto-Tune, and can show you how to blend programmed instruments and tuned vocals naturally into a mix so they sound musical, cohesive, and human. What you’ll learn: Professional mixing workflows in REAPER EQ, compression, saturation, and effects used with intention Mixing programmed drums and bass (EZdrummer & EZbass) Vocal tuning and polish with Auto-Tune (transparent or stylistic) Session organization and efficient workflows How to fix common mix problems and finish songs with confidence Who I work best with: Musicians and songwriters mixing their own music Home studio artists who want professional results Beginners and intermediate users who want clarity, not confusion Rock, punk, indie, alternative, and heavy music creators Lessons are one-on-one and tailored to your music. We can work directly on your session, troubleshoot a mix that’s not translating, or build a repeatable workflow you can use on every project. If you’re looking for guidance from someone who’s lived the music—from touring to the studio—I’d be happy to help.

About the lesson

I’m a musician and freelance audio engineer who specializes in mixing music in REAPER. If you’re recording your own songs but feel stuck with muddy mixes, unbalanced levels, or tracks that don’t sound “finished,” I can help you get there.

My lessons focus on real-world mixing, not presets or generic tutorials. We’ll work directly in REAPER to improve clarity, punch, and balance—while keeping the feel and emotion of your song intact. Mixing should serve the song, not overcomplicate it.

I’m also proficient with EZdrummer, EZbass, and Auto-Tune, and can help you integrate programmed drums, bass, and vocals naturally into your mixes—so they feel musical, cohesive, and human rather than stiff or over-processed.

What I teach:

Mixing fundamentals in REAPER (levels, panning, gain staging)

EQ, compression, saturation, and effects—when and why to use them

Mixing programmed drums and bass using EZdrummer and EZbass

Vocal tuning and polish with Auto-Tune (transparent or stylistic)

Building a mix from rough balance to final polish

Session organization and efficient REAPER workflows

Fixing common problems (mud, harsh vocals, weak drums, flat mixes)

Preparing mixes for mastering or release

Who these lessons are for:

Musicians, songwriters, and home recordists

Beginners who want a solid foundation

Intermediate users who want cleaner, more professional mixes

Artists working in rock, punk, indie, alternative, and heavy styles

Lessons are one-on-one and tailored to your goals. We can mix one of your own songs together, troubleshoot a session you’re stuck on, or build a repeatable workflow you can use on every project.

REAPER is an incredibly powerful DAW—once you know how to make it work for you. My goal is to help you stop fighting your mix and start finishing songs you’re proud of.
