Alt/Indie Mixing Engineer

I've been mixing $20 microphone sounds for over half-a-decade, and I will mix your sounds too. Not just do I make them sound good, but I have way too much fun doing it. I take mixing other people's music as a privilege and I want the artist (you) to be proud of the final product, so let's make the mix you want, together <3

Hello! I'm Maxx Karales, a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and most importantly, independant mixing engineer. I have written, recorded and produced five albums since 2021, three under the moniker of 'Gort and Caretaker' and two under 'Maxx Karales'. I love mixing music because it's like bringing a paper doll to life through tedious EQ tampering.

I ask at least 24 bit, 44.1khz WAVs of your multitracks, but higher quality is great too! I'm a young producer and I'm constantly learning, so my prices are pretty low and ever changing. I start rough mixes at $20 per song (EQ, compression, audio balancing) and full mixes at $40-60 (FX, automation, a lot more time tweaking the tiny bits, and making it all shiny). I also sing and play instruments and if you want me to put anything on your track, we can chat specifics.

My favorite kinds of mixes lean into the characteristic of the music it's supposed to serve. Not every song has to have impossibly big sounding drums and walls of guitars, but if that's what it needs, I won't say no. I have many, many inspirations when it comes to mixing, so here's a short list of a few of my biggest inspirations:
Mer De Noms - A Perfect Circle
Era Vulgaris & ...Like Clockwork - Queens Of The Stone Age
Blast Tyrant - Clutch
Green And Gray - Pile
Posthumous Release - Coma Cinema
XO - Elliott Smith
Tenacious D - Tenacious D
Betty - Helmet
