I’ve been making music in bands for over 20 years, which is where my passion for the production process and the art of mixing comes from. My goal is to bring out the feel of each song. The vision of the artist and producer is always my guiding principle, and I care about a relaxed atmosphere and clear, open communication.

The studio
My studio is part of the legendary Maarweg Studios, the former EMI Studios in Cologne, and has two rooms.
The first is my mixing and mastering suite, acoustically controlled and built around ATC monitors, made for deep listening and detailed work. It’s where my heart for stereo lives, surrounded by some wonderful guitars, basses and synthesizers.
The second is a Dolby Atmos 9.1.4 suite, where we recently mixed the new Giant Rooks album in Atmos. It’s also home to a beautiful drum kit and a great piano, and it’s where my assistant Jakob works (or practices the cello). We’re both musicians, and the instruments are here simply because we love playing them.

Send me your production session
Instead of working from a folder of multitracks, I start from your production session. All the decisions that make your rough sound the way it does stay in place, so I pick up exactly where you left off, and you don’t have to export anything.
I work with sessions from Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase and Studio One, and of course you can send stems instead. You get an upload link that walks you through preparing your session step by step, so it reaches us intact. Jakob then checks everything and lets you know it arrived.

What I do
Mixing. I love handing over a mix that’s already fully mastered, so that’s part of it. You also get an instrumental, a TV mix, an a cappella and a detailed set of mastered stems, ready for live sets, remixes and whatever comes next.
Stem mastering. Instead of a single stereo file, I work with the instrumental, lead- and backing-vocals separated, or with kick, bass and the rest on instrumental tracks. That usually gets more out of your mix, and you also get an instrumental and a TV mix.
Dolby Atmos mixing. An immersive version of your song, made with great respect for the stereo master. As a mixer who works mostly in stereo, I know how much work and how many personal decisions go into it, so we listen very closely to keep the feeling, balances and energy that often get lost in Atmos.
Dolby Atmos mastering. Already mixed your song in Atmos? Just send me your ADM file. I’ll check it against the current Dolby, Apple Music and label requirements and enhance the sound.

Everyone pays the same price for the same work, and every project gets the same attention. Planning ahead makes things a little easier and cheaper, and when time is short, we’ll do our best to make it work.
