What People Are Saying

— Kyle Welton

“I hired Sam 6 years ago to mix and master my first EP. From then I have never looked back. It is because of his professionalism, expertise, and commitment to the project that has made me work with him for this long. I have also referred other artist I work with to him as well; they also were happy with the outcome. He gets the job done quick with a great end result.”

—Heather Avery

“Sam is truly a joy to work with! He took my music and ideas and helped me create something better than I had imagined. We just completed an entire album and I couldn't be happier with all that we did. He has experience, understanding and creativity! I can't recommend him enough!”

PRICING -I ask $60/hr for most jobs, But…

  • I can work on a sliding scale to stay in your budget, but still expect a professional wage. If you cannot afford the price I’m asking feel free to make an offer but please realize that over over 20 years editing and producing has taught me to work quickly and effectively. If I’m asking for more money per hour than others, I’m also probably twice as fast with more experience.

  • Flat rates can be quoted on a per project basis. 
  • I will edit 1 podcast episode for free, no strings attached.
