Music Mixing

A great recording or production can still fall short if the mix is not working. Mixing is where the song comes together—where the vocal finds its place, the drums carry the right energy, the low end feels controlled and every element has space without losing the emotion of the performance.

I’m Shane Jarvie-Kohn, the mixing engineer at Moreish Studios. I provide professional music mixing for solo artists, bands, songwriters and producers who want their tracks to feel balanced, exciting and ready for mastering. Mixing can be completed remotely, so you can work with me from anywhere.

Is your track ready for mixing?

Mixing begins once the recordings and arrangement are complete. You can send a Pro Tools session or consolidated WAV files from any recording software. If you still need help recording parts, arranging the song or organising session musicians, our Recording or Music Production services may be the better place to start.

I work across genres and shape each mix around the intention of the song. Some tracks need warmth and space, others need aggression and weight, and some need to remain raw and natural. I do not force every project through the same preset or processing chain.

My mixing process combines detailed digital tools with carefully selected analogue equipment from Manley, Neve, API, SSL, Empirical Labs, Shadow Hills and more. The equipment is there to serve the music—not to process it for the sake of it. You can explore the wider collection on The Gear page.

Throughout the mix, I’m listening for emotional connection, tonal balance, impact, depth, stereo image and how the song translates across speakers, headphones, cars, phones and streaming platforms. The goal is a finished mix that feels confident and prepares the song for its final mastering stage.

If you’re unsure whether your project is ready, get in touch and send through a rough mix. I’ll help you work out the most appropriate next step.

How to Send Your Files

I mix in Pro Tools, but you can send a complete Pro Tools session or consolidated WAV files exported from any recording software. Before sending the project, please include:

  • ● All audio files exported from the same starting point so they remain aligned.
  • ● A rough mix showing your current balance and creative direction.
  • ● Two or three reference tracks that demonstrate the sound or energy you have in mind.
  • ● Notes about important effects, editing choices and any vocal tuning or compiling still required.
