I will turn your midi orchestras into realistic recordings


About this gig
Hi, I am Tezcan. I am a conservatory-trained pianist and sound engineer.
Most audio engineers treat acoustic and classical music like popthey rely on heavy compression and aggressive EQ. I don't. Because I have over 10 years of classical training, my ears are tuned differently. I can read scores, understand complex harmony, and I know how acoustic instruments are actually supposed to sound in a room. I don't just balance frequencies; I mix to serve your composition.
If you want your music to retain its natural dynamics, breath, and true depth, we will be a good fit. Message me with your project details and let's talk about your music."

FAQ
Do you offer discounts for full albums or EPs?
Yes. If you have a multi-song project, an EP, or an album, please do not use the standard packages. Message me directly with your project details. I will review your tracks and prepare a custom offer tailored to your timeline.
What files do I need to send you?
need uncompressed WAV or AIFF files (24-bit preferred). It is critical that all your individual tracks start from the exact same timestamp (0:00) so they sync perfectly in my session. Also, please include a rough mix if you have one, plus 1 or 2 reference tracks.
Should I remove my plugins before exporting stems?
Yes. Please bypass all EQs, compressors, and spatial effects (reverbs, delays) before exporting. Send me completely dry tracks. The only exception is if an effect is a fundamental part of the instrument's sound design (for example, a specific guitar amp tone or a synth effect).
Will my track be as loud as a modern pop song?
No, and it shouldn't be. Pop music uses heavy limiters to achieve maximum loudness, which destroys dynamics. Classical and jazz music rely on the natural volume differences between quiet and loud passages. I master these genres conservatively (around -14 LUFS) to preserve that natural dynamic range.
Does the mix package include fixing bad timing, out-of-tune notes, or background noise?
No. Mixing only balances and enhances your audio. Fixing timing, tuning, or cleaning background noise (hiss/clicks) requires audio editing and restoration. You can add these in the "Gig Extras" section. If your audio is noisy, please message me first.
