Paul T.

Brisbane, AU

“My track had been through three different engineers before I found James, and none of them could quite capture the vibe I wanted. I was ready to give up, but James was genuinely interested in bringing my vision to life. He completely reworked the mix, and now it sounds incredible. It’s the first time my music has sounded exactly how I imagined in my head.”

Liam J.

Melbourne, AU

“I recorded a song in my mate’s garage on some budget gear, so I was worried it just couldn’t sound any good. James didn’t just fix it—he improved it with some recording tips for vocals. The tunes are heavy rock and the mix is so clean and powerful, and it has this punch that makes it sound like it was recorded in a high-end studio.”

Stephen D.

Brisbane, AU

“This song had been sitting on my hard drive for like two years because I was never happy with how it sounded. I tried mixing it myself, but it just didn’t have the energy I wanted. A friend recommended James, and I couldn’t believe the difference. He brought everything to the front in such a natural way and made it feel alive. I’m finally gonna release it!”

Eddie B.

Ohio, USA

“I’d been wrestling with these mixes for months and was on the verge of scrapping it altogether. I got recommend James by Aussie musician friend of mine from Nashville.  He took one listen and immediately understood what needed to be done. He cleaned up the muddy stuff and at the same time gave the track a warmth I didn’t think was possible. I'll be using him for all my stuff from now on!”

Gemma W.

Brisbane, AU

“I sent James a live recording that was full of challenges—bleed from the instruments, uneven levels, and a crowd that was louder than the singer in some places. I wasn’t sure it was going to end up being able to be released, but James worked his magic. He made it sound so good that people ask me where it was recorded!”

Jack T.

Melbourne, AU

“This song was originally a home recording that I didn’t think was worth releasing. I didn't really know whether a good mix could make much of a difference at all.  James proved me wrong. He gave it this rich, full sound while keeping the rawness of the original (it's indie rock). It’s now the track I get the most compliments on, and I’ve already booked him for my next project.”

Emily S.

Brisbane, AU

“I’d recorded these tracks for a pretty experimental EP, and I wasn’t sure how it would come together. James took all the weird little elements and turned them into something cohesive. He’s got an incredible ear for detail and made the whole process feel collaborative and fun.”

Gregor M.

Berlin, GER

“My band and I had recorded an album in a hurry for a demo, but we loved the vibe so much that we decided that we wanted to release it. I found James online after reading his posts on a music gear group.  He took our rough mixes and turned them into something we could release. Danke James!!"

Jessika T.

Perth, AU

“This song was a very personal one that I recorded myself in my bedroom. I was worried that handing it over to an engineer would mean it would lose something but James treated it with so much care. He brought out the best in the mix without losing the raw, emotional feel. It’s perfect!”

Michael B.

Brisbane, AU

“I worked with another very well known engineer before finding James, but the mix just wasn’t hitting. A friend recommended him as an option to try out and as soon as he sent the first mix I knew it was going to be even better than I was hoping for.  The result is awesome and I'll be back for more.”

Xander L.

Melbourne, AU

“I wrote and recorded a track while travelling and didn’t have access to my usual setup. When I got back home, I wasn’t sure what to do with it, but a mutual friend suggested James. He turned my pretty average recording into something that sounds like it was done in a professional studio. It’s incredible how he brought it all together.”

Sam G.

Brisbane, AU

“This song has been through so many versions and attempts over the years. I’ve re-recorded it twice, mixed it myself multiple times, and even sent it to another engineer in the US, but it never felt right. James was my last hope, and he nailed it. He gave it a cohesion and clarity that it was missing and took the time to really understand what I was going for.”

Mel R.

Melbourne, AU

“JNP completely transformed my track. The new mix is so clean and way more professional sounding. James' attention to detail brought out things I couldn't even hear in my own production. This is the best my home tracks have ever sounded and I can't wait to release them.  I'll be back!”

Josh B.

Sydney, AU

“I sent James a demo that I thought was hopeless, but he worked magic on it. The mix is vibrant, and every element sits perfectly. The vocal now feels like it’s part of the song, not floating on top. Honestly, it’s like he took a rough sketch and made it a masterpiece.”

Mia H.

Los Angeles, USA

“My music was missing that professional touch, and James delivered from Down Under! He brought incredible space to my ballad while keeping it raw and real. It’s rare to find someone who listens to what you want and actually makes it happen.  Move to LA James!”

Daniel T.

Brisbane, AU

“I’ve always been picky about how my music sounds, and James exceeded my expectations. The mixes are punchy with great low end and the vocal is way clearer now in all the songs."

Darren M.

Wellington, NZ

“James’ work on my tunes blew me away. I had a lo-fi acoustic pop track that sounded a bit dull, and he added exactly what it needed without losing the raw feel. He was super professional and patient throughout the process, answering all my questions. Couldn’t ask for more!”

Alex G.

Brisbane, AU

“JNP took my EDM tracks a totally new level. The kick punches through perfectly, and the synths have a richness that wasn’t there before. I’ve even had other DJs asking where I got my tracks mixed.”

Willow Z.

Melbourne, AU

“I sent James my entire album, and he brought a great sound to all the tracks and it finally feels like a cohesive body of work. I’ve already started recommending him to my other muso friends.”

Ethan W.

Bristol, UK

“My mix was cluttered, and the vocal was buried, but James found a way to make everything clear and balanced. The final masters sound amazing - so much better than I could've done. I’m so glad I trusted him with my tracks.  Thanks mate!”

Nathan V.

Brisbane, AU

“The way James brought my track to life is unbelievable. He not only cleaned up the mix but also suggested subtle production changes that made a huge difference. I’ve already booked him for my next two projects.”

Richard K.

Brisbane, AU

“James mixed and mastered my tracks and honestly it was a night and day difference from my previous versions. They are dynamic and clear, and the mix has this glue that holds everything together perfectly. His ability to make my vision a reality is what will keep me coming back.”

Harry D.

Sydney, AU

“James is a true professional. My track had potential, but he turned it into something special. The whole song now feels polished and ready for release.  Can’t recommend him enough.”

Ava N.

Brisbane, AU

“Working with James was a game-changer for my home-made productions. He understood the vibe I was going for and made sure every instrument sounded better than it did before. My tracks now sound radio-ready, and I’m getting so much positive feedback. Thank you, James!”

Megan F.

Brisbane, AU

“Before working with James, the tracks my band had recorded at a local studio sounded like a demo. Now they sound insane! It’s like he knew exactly what our music needed. I'll definitely be working with him again.”

Ryan S.

Boston, USA

“As a first-time client from the other side of the world, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but James was super patient and professional. He guided me through the process and made sure I was happy with every detail. Honestly the result is way better than some big name mixing engineers I used in NYC before finding him on a gear forum.”

Sophie C.

London, UK

“I’ve worked with a lot of engineers all over the world, and James is one of the best I've come across. His ear for detail is phenomenal, and he knows how to make a tune feel alive.  I'm going to be working with him for production as well from now on as the mixing service has been so great.  Thanks James!"

Ben L.

Brisbane, AU

“I came to James with a track I’d mixed myself, and he not only cleaned it up but gave it an edge I didn’t think was possible. His mix added depth and the master sounds incredible on every system I’ve tested. Highly recommended.”

Ella J.

Brisbane, AU

“James turned my bedroom recording into something I’m genuinely proud of and have since released on streaming platforms. He kept the intimacy of the track while giving it the polish and size it needed to compete with songs recorded in an expensive studio. He is an awesome communicator too.  Thx James!"

Mike R.

Brisbane, AU

“James’ mixing and mastering gave my band's EP a level of depth and clarity we couldn’t achieve with the place we recorded it at. The drums hit harder, the bass is more controlled, and the vocals shine. He’s not just a great engineer but also a fantastic collaborator.  We'll probably just get him to track us in our room next time!”
