Me

I'm a freelance recording engineer, piano tuner, and I teach home-based recording technique. You can do amazing work in your own home. I like all kinds of sound. I live in Ottawa, ON, but I work for people all over the place - the internet is awesome for that. If you have mixing/masteringneeds, have questions about production or gear to get you there, drop me a line!
