What I do (and do not)_

Having started experimentally mixing tracks for myself and for the local bands in the late '00s, I ended up building a studio where I could do full service production. About a decade later I could say I got not bad at it (though the impostor syndrome never goes away).

Back then, I used to do lots of real hardware reamping, vintage synth MIDI rendering and tape processing (not to mention a good deal of recording, of course). As of now, having had closed the studio and emigrated, what I've got at hand is a laptop with an audio interface, speakers, my trusted tape deck (obligatory drum subgroup process!), tube guitar/bass preamps with some pedals, and a vintage analog mixer for stem summing. So, although mostly confined by an in-the-box setup, I can still do a thing or two, even some hybrid quasi-reamping through an analog signal path (except the poweramp/cab/microphone/preamp/ADC part, that is, which is sad but anyway better than a 100% simulated chain).

See the works page to get an idea how it usually sounds, and if you like it, shoot me a message and we'll figure something out.

Note 1: I don't offer software (or amp-simulating hardware which is essentially software but in a separate box) 'reamping' and drum replacement usually associated with the modern rock preset sound everybody and their dog has: there are too many other people doing that. Your drum tracking might not be the fanciest sounding out there but it's yours; replacement instead of processing is lazy, untrue to the music, and just plain wrong, unless you're aiming for specifically electronic drum sound. Also, no quantization--groove, not grid (though I'll correct apparent mistakes and occasional off-beats; if alignment and patching up is actually needed then it is done).
I do not use any of the so-called AI tools whatsoever.

Note 2: Mastering (as stereo finalization) is included and doesn't count as a separate process. You get reasonably loud, hence reasonably dynamic (mid-'90s CDs are the reference bar as far as I'm concerned), publishing-ready, CD-frame-accurate, codec-peak-overload-proof wave files. However, if you need to remaster/restore/bring to a common denominator some existing stereo tracks or stems, feel free to drop a line too.

Also: if you need audio editing for your non-music needs (e.g. videos, short films, radio jingles, installation art soundpieces etc), I can do that as well.

Let's go.
