Hey, I'm Jack. I'm an audio engineer in Carlsbad, California.

Since 2020 I've produced and recorded almost every song from San Diego band We the Commas. I've mixed all of their releases since 2021 and mastered them since 2025. Those songs have passed 2 million streams on Spotify and picked up three San Diego Music Awards nominations. That still feels pretty crazy to me.

Recently I've also worked with YT West and Ethan Grey.

I'm a huge audio nerd and a bit of a perfectionist. I love trying new ideas on a song. I'll keep working on your mix until you're happy with it.

Honestly, my favorite part of this job is hearing new music. If you're working on something, I'd love to hear it. I work remotely, so it doesn't matter where you are.

When I'm not working on music, I'm probably gaming or watching baseball.

How It Works

Working remotely

Send the session

Stems or the full session, a couple of reference tracks, and any notes you have.

Free sample

I mix 30 seconds of your song for free. If you like it, I finish the full mix. If not, you don't pay.

Revisions

Notes go back and forth until you're happy. Then you get final files ready for release.

How payment works

Free sample. I mix 30 seconds of your song. No payment needed.
Pay to start. If you like it, single songs are paid in full before I start the full mix. For EPs and albums (4+ songs), a 50% deposit gets us started.
Mix and revisions. I send the full mix, and we go through revisions until you're happy.
Final files. Once everything is paid, you get your final high-res files.

Payments are handled securely by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Stripe.

Refund policy

If you cancel before I start the full mix, you get a full refund.
Since you hear a free sample before paying, payments are non-refundable once the full mix has been delivered.
If I can't finish your project for any reason, you get a full refund.
