From Rough To Release - new song-writing blog series

 I am pretty terrible at self-promotion. 

I really should have mentioned a week ago that I've started another blog series focused on helping people take those scraps and ideas and turn them into finished songs.

It's called Rough to Release and you can find the first entry (and subsequent ones) here: https://roughtorelease.blogspot.com/2024/08/the-pitch-taking-your-song-writing-from.html

Want a free mix?

 The offer

Beginner / intermediate mixer / producer looking for musicians to work with to build my portfolio.
You provide the music, I provide the mix.
I see this working as a collaboration rather than a transaction: there'll be some back and forth as I get to grips with things but at the end you get a free mix and I get chance to do some production and develop as a mixer.

My experience
I've been working on recording / mixing / production for nearly 10 years now but have been focusing almost completely on my own music. I'd like to grow my skills by working on some different material.
My material is generally in the Americana / folk / indie-rock genres so probably best not to stray too far from that initially but I'm willing to give anything a go.
You can find my work on www.drewstephenson.bandcamp.com or on the streaming platform of your choice.

Technical details
I work entirely in the box and use the Reaper DAW. So stems or tracks in WAV form or Reaper project files is probably the best starting point.
I have a treated room with monitoring that is flat (+/- 3dB) from 22Hz to 18kHz and would be happy to get involved in the recording side as well for anyone in the York area.

Caveats
I'll be doing this on a best-endeavour basis. I won't take on something if I don't think I can do a good job on it.
If you're not happy with the end result then you walk away with no loss, if you do like it, all I ask is a formal credit.
If you're half-happy then I'm happy to pass on whatever I've done to another mixer with no reservations or conditions.
