About Me
Hey there, I'm David. I'm a freelancing audio engineer focused on capturing the intensity of (mostly) heavy music. I aim to bring clarity and depth to every project, letting the music speak for itself. You can hear some examples of my work below. I also freelance at Sawdust Recordings where I've worked for artists such as Electric Callboy, Annisokay, Future Palace, Venues, and many, many more.
If you're looking for someone who understands the weight and nuance of intense music, I'm here to help you bring it to life.
Services
These are my main services, but of course I can do more for you. Hit me up to talk about what you need!
Mixing
I'll take your raw tracks and shape them into an exciting, musical mix that flows and moves. Aggressive and dense, wide and open, I'll deliver whatever vision you have for your music!
Mastering
Transparent and dynamic or ridiculously over-the-top loud, whatever you have in mind for your music - I'll give your mix the final polish it needs to be competitive (or beyond).
Recording
If you're located in or around Leipzig, we can record together - from drums to vocals, everything's possible. For remote work, I can coach you to make the most of your recording situation!
Songwriting Help
Your music is almost there, but you want a touch more? Song structure analysis, post production, more expressive drum programming, let's make sure your song is the best it can be!

“The collaboration with David was incredibly good! We spent hours together to find my perfect individual sound. He worked passionately with me on my songs to bring out the best in them. I am more than satisfied with the mixing and mastering result, and I plan to continue producing my songs with him in the future!”

“My band Pathwalker has been working with David for years, and we are more than thrilled with his work! With his preproduction, guidance and songwriting suggestions, he always helped us gain a better vision of our songs and make them the best they can be. We also need his expertise for mixing songs that we use for our live shows to captivate the audience. With David's help, it works wonderfully! We are always ready to collaborate with him again.”
