The art of mixing and mastering has fascinated and excited me since I first became interested in music. I deeply understand how these creative and technical processes affect the way your music is heard and felt. For over 10 years, I’ve been focused on achieving mixes that are of the highest standards; meticulously balanced, impactful, translatable to all listening environments and most importantly, complementary to your song. I know what it’s like to spend countless hours, days, possibly months writing and producing a new track – these final and essential processes will ensure your music is heard in the best light possible.
Mixing and Mastering Work
Essential Processes Explained
Leveling
Having mixed over 500 commercially released tracks ensures that your sounds are balanced and blended with precision. Your session will be monitored on a number of different playback systems with state-of-the-art AD/DA converters to ensure consistency on audiophile-grade studio monitors, professional headphones and consumer level speakers.
Compression
Compression is an advanced technique that can take years to master. Careful use of compression will ensure your vocals and instruments have optimal dynamics and are easily heard on any playback system.
Equalization
Equalization is a powerful method to enhance your tracks giving them presence, body and color. Through use of professional EQ, the frequency spectrum of your tracks are precisely tuned and blended into the rest of the arrangement.
Creative Effects
With experience as a multi-faceted producer and sound designer, your sessions are brought to life by creative effects processing, technical editing and post-production.
Reverb & Delay
Use of the world’s top reverberation algorithms and delays adds depth, width and a sense of space to your instruments and vocals.
Mastering
In today’s music industry, it’s essential that your mix volume competes with other commercially released tracks. You also want the songs on your album or EP to have a cohesive and balanced sound as a body of work. Sean ensures your final masters are refined and ready for release on your preferred platform, adhering to new audio measurements like Mastered for iTunes and other streaming standards.

Got my first single mastered by SD and it was an instant hit. I always believed in trying do things on my own but when I heard the difference, I turned into a regular client. He has a great ear for the HipHop genre and that’s what gives him my ten points. Highly recommend SD Productions for anyone wanting golden mixes and masters for a reasonable price.
