Sound that serves the artist, not the algorithm.

I love working with artists who write their own songs, play their own instruments and have something real to communicate. What I care about is not making everything louder — it is making sure what you recorded reaches the listener the way it sounded in your head.

Dynamics are not a mistake: the silences and lighter parts are as much a part of the track as the densest moments. Destroying the dynamics to reach maximum loudness is not the philosophy of this studio — and not that of the artists who choose to work here.

Whether it is a bare acoustic record, a dense cinematic arrangement or anything in between — I bring the same care and attention to every session.

Listen to the difference across these 8 tracks. The first 4 are stems before and after mixing, the last 4 are full songs before and after mastering. All the music you will hear here was produced from scratch for my clients — instrumentation, arrangement, vocal direction, everything.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Once we confirm the project I will send you a complete guide with instructions for the most common DAWs. In short: export each instrument as a separate WAV file, 24 bit, minimum 48,000 Hz, all starting from bar 1, with no processing on the master bus (watch out if you use FL Studio — many templates have a limiter inserted on the master that often goes unnoticed). Then send everything via WeTransfer or Swisstransfer to studio@pleraxis.com.

Every mix includes two rounds of revisions. A revision means adjustments based on your feedback — level balances, tonal changes, spatial decisions. It does not mean a complete re-mix. In practice, most projects are resolved within the first or second round. If you need additional revisions beyond the two included, we can discuss it case by case.

Turnaround time depends on the current workload and the complexity of the project. Typically a single song mix takes 5 to 10 working days from the moment I receive a well-prepared session. Mastering is usually faster, around 3 to 5 days. If you have a specific deadline, let me know in the contact form and I will confirm whether I can meet it before we start.

No — but the quality of the source material directly affects the result. A mix can enhance and balance what is there, but it cannot replace something that was never captured. If you recorded at home, that is absolutely fine. Just make sure the performances are solid and there is no severe clipping or noise issues. If you are unsure, send me a rough mix first and I will give you an honest assessment before we commit to anything.

Payment is by bank transfer. I will send you my IBAN along with a formal receipt once the project is confirmed. Files are delivered after payment. For larger projects we can agree on a deposit upfront and the remainder on delivery.

A high-resolution WAV (24 bit, 48,000 Hz) ready for distribution and streaming. If you need a specific loudness target for Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube just let me know. Stems are available on request, as are files in FLAC, MP3 and OGG format.

My approach works best with music that has a strong artistic identity — singer-songwriter, rock, metal, folk, indie, alternative, acoustic, cinematic. If in order to reach maximum loudness you want to destroy the dynamics, then I am probably not the right engineer for you — and I will tell you honestly.

After you write to me I get back to you within 48 hours. We have a first chat — about your project, what you are looking for, your references and your deadline. If it makes sense for both of us I send you a clear quote with no surprises, the guide to send me the files, and we set a start date. From there I work on the project and keep you updated. Nothing complicated — just clear steps from the first message to the finished track.
