About

I’m a musician first and like many of us in this line of work I learned how to record and mix out of a desire to produce my own bands. For many years I recorded and mixed bands at Black in Bluhm, my Denver studio mostly known for punk, indie, alt and everything in between. Today, I run my mixing and mastering work out of Switzerland, keeping the same raw energy, collaborative spirit, and attention to detail. My name is on the work, and the Black in Bluhm legacy continues through every mix and master.

Services

Mixing

From professional studio recordings to DIY projects, I'm your guy. I do collaborative work and always strive to serve the song. I work with a hybrid setup of ITB and outboard analog summing. I like vibe and attitude and don't care much for cookie cutter mixes. I specialise in making live instruments sound their best.

Mastering

Mastering is the final polish that makes your music sound great everywhere — from earbuds to SUV's to vinyl. I focus on delivering loud, clear, and dynamic masters that stay as true to your mix as possible while making it competitive with today’s releases. All digital formats are included, and vinyl masters are available if needed. I have hundreds of releases out in the world and you can trust my human ears. I have caught many errors in mixes over the years that a robot would have never noticed.This is one of the many reasons you cannot replace an experienced mastering engineer.

Recording

I do still record bands! I've tracked at a few studios since moving to Switzerland and I can also be convinced to fly back to Denver and track at the Black in Bluhm studio for the right project. Don't hesitate to reach out. I'd love to talk about it! Pricing will vary depending on the project and location.

Production

You can hire me to produce your project too! This could mean a number of different scenarios and pricing structures. I can work with you from square one on songs and arrangement remotely or I can show up at your session and sit in for tracking and performances.

New Recording Coach Service

Work with me on Zoom to set up your Logic project, nail your tones, and properly manage your session from start to finish. Perfect for DIY musicians who want to record smarter, faster and avoid the mistakes that end up costing us at mix time.

Coaching

This isn’t an online course or a few emails back and forth. I’m talking about a Zoom session where we share screens and set up your Logic project properly before you ever hit record. I’ll help you get the best tones possible with the gear you already have and show you how to manage your project from start to finish—so you’re not learning your DAW while trying to record your music.

Sounds

These are tracks from many genres that were both mixed and mastered at Black in Bluhm by me, Chris. Some are super old. Some are kinda new. Some are just songs I like. Some were recorded at the studio in Denver and some are from DIY projects sent to me from bands so it's a real mixed bag!

Rehearsal Spaces

Black in Bluhm also has rehearsal spaces! At the Denver location we have around 19 practice spaces that vary in size from small room for a single band to large rooms that up to 3 bands can share.

Rooms are 24/7 and have heat, AC, wifi, digital doorlocks, security, and a great location with parking. For more info and availability just fill out the contact form and we will get back to you right away.
