The MasterSound

Telling Stories Through the World of Content Creation

I am a dynamic and innovative Re-Recording Mixer and Sound Designer with over 10 years of comprehensive experience in audio post-production across various media, including TV mini-series, feature films, documentaries, and digital content. I excel at collaborating with directors to conceptualize and execute the desired auditory landscape, synchronizing and equalizing prerecorded dialogue, music, and sound effects to enhance the storytelling experience. My expertise lies in creating rich, immersive sound palettes and crafting audio special effects, backed by a proven track record of delivering final audio mix-downs that elevate the overall production quality.

I am skilled in using industry-standard software such as Avid ProTools and Cubase Nuendo, and I have a strong background in both the technical and creative aspects of sound design and re-recording mixing. Complemented by my Professional Certificates in Game Audio Design and Production, Producing Music for Film and Television, and a Specialists certificate in Visual Media from Berklee College of Music and as a certified Avid ProTools user, I am committed to continuous learning and strive for excellence in audio production.

History

I work in the entertainment business as an audio engineer, post-production expert, sound designer, producer, and business owner. I founded The MasterSound on my firm belief that great audio deserves professional clarity and pristine sound quality, setting apart the best from the amateurs. For me, clarity and precision in sound can truly bring a song to life and amplify the power of a scene or emotion.

Over the past several years, I've had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, including short and feature films, as well as corporate and industrial films. I've also mastered over 700 songs spanning multiple musical genres. I thoroughly enjoy audio mastering and post-production sound work, and maintaining activity on both fronts has equipped me with a unique skill set and deep understanding of best practices, showcasing how sound can profoundly impact a piece of work.

Whether I'm performing post-sound editing for a video project or mastering a song for a client, I am committed to delivering high-quality services and adding creative touches that resonate with artists, musicians, and filmmakers from diverse backgrounds.
