Hi, I'm Philip Dust, a professional audio engineer
with over ten years of experience.
I've helped dozens of talented and dedicated musicians realize their sonic visions, achieve their dream sound and grab the attention of their audiences - and you could be next.
Whether you're an established band looking to release a great sounding album, a singer or producer trying to break into the industry, or simply a passionate musician who's aiming to take his recordings to the next level, I'm here to help.
I have the gear, the skills, and the experience to bring out the full depth of your creativity, artistry, and the best in your music.
I work towards your success.
Online mixing and mastering done right
It's all included
High-end analog and digital gear
I mix and master hybrid, which means that in addition to working solely "in the box" using a multitude of industry-standard plug-ins,
I also make sure that every song runs from my Dangerous 2-Bus analog summing mixer through world-class AD/DA conversion by Antelope Audio into a variety of analog outboards, including solid-state and valve compressors and equalizers giving your track that coveted analog sound so sought after in modern recordings.
My skills combine the necessary technical knowledge, the right tools and an insatiable passion for sound.
With years of experience, a degree in audio engineering and an impressive track record spanning almost every genre of music, I am your go-to-guy for your mixing and mastering needs.
As a musician myself, I realize exactly how tedious and frustrating it can be, to devote hours upon hours to recording your projects and still not get the desired results in terms of sound quality. That's over now.
Allow me to mix and master your 'babies' and I will treat them as if they were my own, giving them the time and attention needed to get the best results possible.
Expertise and passion
Top-notch acoustics and monitoring
You can't mix what you can't hear, right?
My state-of-the-art KRK Exposé E8B reference speakers, as well as my two other nearfield monitors - including PSI Audio, and Neumann - allow me to hear your songs exactly the way they really sound and reveal flaws in your mix that will otherwise remain hidden.
Combined with the accurate and made-to-measure acoustics in my studio, I am able to expertly balance out every part of your track until it "sits" just right.
It's your music and your vision. If I don't strike your taste right off the bat, I will keep tweaking and tuning your song until it sounds the way you imagined it to be. Remember, I'm here to fulfill YOUR musical vision, not to pamper my ego, so rest assured that you'll be able to make any changes you would like to your song.

Fast turnaround
I understand deadlines. And I respect your time!
I'm not going to promise to get your project done by a specific date if I know I'm already fully booked. That's unprofessional and just not my style.
I'm pretty quick, though. My average turnaround time for a mix is 5-7 workdays.
Vocal editing
If required, I will gladly correct the pitch and tighten up the timing of your lead and backing vocals. Autotune, Melodyne, Vocalign - you name it!
Get that supertight radio-ready vocal sound.

In-House Analog Mastering
Every record I mix comes with free analog mastering included. Once you are satisfied with the mix, I will master it and bring it up to commercial standard level, do my final polishing and balance the entire mix among multiple systems. Afterwards I will put together a delivery folder which will include the full 24 bit wav file, a 44.1kHz/16Bit (CD quality) wav file, as well as a high quality MP3 (320kbps) for web use.
