How We Can Work Together Remotely
Technology can be a wonderful thing.
My Studio's streaming and console/smaart sharing setup lets me play back your audio references, isolate individual sources, and adjust processing in real time while we're on our call. When I say "your vocal is getting masked at 250hz by telling you how another channels compression is affecting your vocal clarity" I can show you exactly what I mean by letting you see what the RTA is showing, and demonstrate the change.
You see what I see. You hear what I hear. No guessing. If you use Waves in your mixing workflow, I can also share the presets we work on together.
Whether you're in California or Brazil, this is how we can work together in real time without having to travel.
Mix Insights Client:
"I recently stepped into the role of FOH engineer for our church, and Gene has been a big help in navigating that transition. Through reviewing my mixes and show file structure, I've made significant improvements in a short amount of time. Not just in how I approach individual sources like vocals and drums, but in how I manage the SPL dynamics of an entire service. What sets Gene apart is that his experience is rooted in real-world environments, mixing for so many of the worship artists we all listen to. That experience has been a blessing for me at this stage of my career."
- Daniel Bousselot, FOH Engineer @Skyline Church
How I Experience Mix Insights in My Own Work

To my left is Phil's manager. He has mixed more Phil Wickham shows than just about anyone anywhere. When I stepped into the FOH role, he would walk the room during shows and tell me what was happening in places I couldn't hear from behind the console. Vocal presence in the balcony. Low end buildup in the front rows. Things he knew Phil preferred balanced differently than what I was hearing at FOH.
His perspective helped me see the room more completely. The mix was better because he was there. Not easier. Not more comfortable. But better for the people we were serving including Phil.
Some things only become clear when someone else is listening alongside you.

To my right is Lauren Daigle's music director at her Carnegie Hall show. Full orchestra, choir, full band. He had just flown in after music directing the Super Bowl halftime show. His depth as an arranger and composer helps him hear what I'm still learning to hear. He hears the changes between strings and horns because he wrote the parts. Things I would never be able to understand on my own. Arrangements shaped by movement to change the energy supporting Lauren's vocal.
The way he hears music helps me serve the moment better. The mix improves because his perspective sharpens mine.
That is what happens when you invite insight from a trusted partner into your mix.
