Release-ready songs for UK Alt Rock & Art Rock Artists
Are you struggling to nail your sound?
Does your recorded material live up to your vision?
I’ve been a musician for over 40 years and I love helping other musicians to find their sound. I don’t just mix & master; think of me as the ‘polish’ – the person who can understand your vision and help you deliver it.
Vocals a bit out of tune? Drums sound weak? Guitars not cutting it? Don’t worry, I’ll fix it.
And if you don’t like what I do, I’ll refund your deposit in full*.
No risk – just reward.
Interested?
I’m always happy to have a chat or video call – just email me to book a time. Or send me your rough mix (.mp3 or .m4a) and I'll get back to you.

Check out this neat comparison player, where you can directly compare the initial rough mixes I received with my 'Polished, Mixed and Mastered' versions.
...and below are a couple of commercially-released tracks that have received the MackieMix treatment
Madonna – Ray of Light (.m4a)
I love the original ‘electronica, trip-hop, dance-pop’ version, which was innovative in its time but rather long at 5m22s. I re-worked this as a ‘pop-rock’ single 3m31s, adding new drums, bass, keys and guitars where appropriate - but I didn’t change Madonna’s vocals!
Kamaliza - The Oracle (.m4a)
This was a mix/master project from ‘raw’ stems – part of my mixing intensive course with mastering.com (You can find the official version on most streaming sites)
The Studio
I work in a sound-conditioned studio environment using the latest version of Logic Pro on an Apple Mac Studio Ultra (Dual Processor) with 128 GB RAM. I have an extensive range of high-end audio plugins to solve problems and to bring space and life to your sound.
Monitoring is via Dynaudio BM6A active monitors and Neumann NDH30 headphones, both utilising Sonarworks Sound ID reference calibrated sound correction.
