Tim Palmer on SoundBetter

Grammy Nominated Tim Palmer has produced and mixed albums for a huge selection of classic and alternative artists including U2, Robert Plant, David Bowie, Tears For Fears, and Ozzy Osbourne. With the recent success of the Psychedelic Furs album that Tim mixed, he has succeeded in having Top Ten albums in the UK for 5 Decades.

Since 1982, I’ve produced and mixed music across a wide spectrum of genres—from the iconic sounds of U2 and Ozzy Osbourne to the distinctive styles of Pearl Jam and Tears for Fears. I have 40+ years of experience in producing, mixing, and playing on albums.
I try to bring a unique approach to every project, avoiding generic templates or presets. Each mix is crafted to highlight the distinct strengths of your music. Drawing from my extensive experience as a producer, I often add missing parts or textures to elevate your song.

    Excellent! He gave me exactly the results I wanted. And it was great to talk to someone with as much experience as he's had.

    Tim is an amazing professional and a really nice person to work with! He is available to discuss changes and is always present during the mixing and mastering process. Songs come to life with a rich and explosive sound, no wonder he has worked with some of the best names in the business!! I strongly suggest collaborations with him 😁🚀

    Tim knocked it out of the park on the very first mix! He exceeded my expectations and was awesome to work with. If you want your mix to sound amazing, Tim is your guy!

    We had Tim work on our second song for our band, “Marcid” and it turned out amazing of course.

    Tim was fast at responding and his knowledge and experience offered different perspectives to the sound.

    I would recommend Tim to anyone that wants their song to sound amazing. If you thought your song couldn’t get any better, you’re wrong. He is a masterclass engineer that deserves all the recognition.

    Tim worked on a song from my album and we are completely blown away. I’ve never with somebody that can get everything perfect on the first mix.
    I definitely plan to work with him on all of our future songs!
    I highly recommend Tim to work on your music!

    Tim was kind enough to take us (Turning Virtue, an unknown independent band from Buffalo, NY under his wing in 2016) and now in 2024 we just finished our 3rd album with him!
    We are always in awe of his mixing and producing prowess. We play progressive rock/metal and our tunes are as varied as it gets and Tim doesn't miss a beat.
    In fact, he makes every song we give him 10 times better.
    Yep, pure passion and genius is what Tim Palmer is and what you'll get!
    One more thing, he makes us feel as though we are as important as any major label band that he mixes, seriously how cool is that?

    I still remember the first song Tim mixed for my band, Sons Of Silver. My expectations were high. Tim’s discography is legendary. Nonetheless, I was nervous for that first listen. I wasn’t alone, either. Sitting with me was my wife, who's also my engineer and co-producer. We’d given over one of our babies to Tim for mixing and we needed the mix to be great. Well, about sixty seconds into playback, I looked over at my wife and she was crying tears of joy. Tim didn’t meet our high expectations, he exceeded them. There’s a reason Tim’s worked with so many of the greats: he’s one of them.

    I first worked with Tim at Utopia in the early 80s while I was the guitarist in Dead Or Alive & Tim was the tape-op. He soon & easily became an essential member of the team. And has remained part of my team ever since, having worked with each other in one way or another in every decade since. Tim ‘get’s it’. That is such a valuable attribute that can never be taught or learned. It’s innate.
    As well being a super engineer and mixer he was a brilliant producer too. I wish he still would produce in the way he did with The Mission in the 80s & early 90s. Top top man. And pro.

    Tim is top-notch! I've worked with great professionals before, and I can say Tim has that extra something. Mixing my work with him elevated the music to another level. He contributed significantly by adding his vision and musically contributing with great taste. Thank you, Tim!

    Tim has done some of the mixes for Beauty In Chaos and they are always stellar . We are so fortunate to have him involved .
    He will always make sure that what you give him , turns out great . I would highly recommend him to mix anything you do .
    He has tremendous credits and experience but he will always put his heart into anything that comes across his desk to mix no matter whose name is on it .
    I have spoken to him on one or more occasions and he was always such an honest man to talk with .
    That’s what you really want , some honesty and someone that’s gonna give you 1000%.

    Tim is one of the finest producers and recording/mixing engineers on the planet. I have worked with him on multiple projects where he contributed his creativity as both a producer and mix engineer. Tim goes above and beyond for the artists he works with, and your music is better in the end when he is involved. Frankly, this is what enables him to create and keep happy clients and I count myself lucky to be one of them. If you are reading this, just hire him. His resume of work is unmatched. Tim is THE guy.

    Tim Palmer is one of the elite producers/mixers of our generation hands down. Every song that Del Castillo has been blessed to have Tim mix has been elevated to a whole new level. It’s no wonder why many of the albums he’s mixed and produced by artists we all know and love have become classics! Super charismatic and down to earth as well! Much love and respect for Tim!

    An absolute legend ... yet a pure joy to work with. Tim has mixed as well as created multiple 're-envisions' for Beauty In Chaos. His ability to create sonic-space is 2nd to none. He understands what a 'song' is and know just what to do to highlight it. Bravo Mr. Palmer! Many of my fave records have been touched by this man.

    Tim is one of the premier mixers working today. I've worked with him a few times over the years and it's always a joy. Super easy to work with and his attention to detail is second to none.The mixes always come out warm, full and exciting. Top man.
