Your demo already works.
I turn it into a finished record.
Mixing, mastering and production for artists who produce their own music and want a professional sound, without handing over creative control. Remote, from anywhere in the world.
Here's how I can help
I help independent pop artists turn self-produced songs into releases that sound professional, emotional and commercially competitive, without losing what makes them yours. Whether it's the arrangement, the mix or the final polish that's holding the song back, we bring out what's already in it, together.
Song Finishing
Your demo is 80 percent there - and the last 20 are the hardest. Whether your song needs a stronger arrangement, real instruments, cleanly edited vocals or just the final polish: I take it across the finish line, with you in the session, so it still sounds like you at the end.
- Arrangement & additional production
- Live instruments from my studio
- Vocal editing, tuning, comping
Mixing
In live sessions we shape your mix together, as if you were sitting right next to me in the studio. You hear every decision the moment it's made and can steer at any point. The result: balance, depth and emotion that hold up next to your references.
- Worked against your references
- Unlimited revisions
- Close collaboration in shared live sessions
Mastering
The final step before release. Loudness, tone and consistency are tuned so your song sounds the way it should on Spotify, Apple Music, in the car and on earbuds, and holds its own in any playlist next to the big names.
- Streaming-optimised loudness
- All release formats delivered
- Also for full EPs and albums
Three steps to your release
Song & references
Understanding your song. You send me your song and two or three references. In a short call we talk about where the production should go and what the track actually needs, and I give you my first honest feedback.
Co-production & mix
Real-time collaboration. We work on your song live, together: co-production, mix, mastering, whatever you need. Every decision is made in shared sessions, and between sessions I keep uploading versions as they develop. You stay in full creative control.
Ready to release
Guaranteed delivery. You get the finished master on the date we agreed on up front, plus every format you need for distribution and social media. Your song sounds clean on every system and is ready to stand out in any playlist. All rights stay entirely with you.

"I've now worked with Julian on three projects, and every experience has been fantastic.
As a DIY artist, it's important for me to work with people who understand my vision while bringing the expertise needed to elevate the songs. Julian did exactly that. Communication was always clear and professional, and the final results exceeded my expectations every time.
I can highly recommend Julian to any independent artist looking for high-quality production, mixing, and mastering services. Looking forward to working together again in the future!"
"The best there is! Very skilled and easy to work with. Highly recommend!"
"An absolutely cool team, very professional but with a sense of humour too. Bringing your own vision to life has absolute priority."
Hey, I'm Julian. ✌️
I'm a producer and mixing engineer from Austria and I've been working full-time in music production for over seven years. My focus is on independent pop artists who produce their own music, and I know firsthand how much pressure there is to be good at every single step of that process.
I know the moment when a production is basically almost finished and still doesn't sound like what you had in your head. You can hear the vision clearly, but on your own you just can't get any closer to it. That's exactly where I come in - tailored individually to whatever your song is still missing.
The good news: you don't have to walk those last few metres alone anymore, and you don't have to hand your song to someone who finishes it behind closed doors either.
The work happens live, together: you sit in on the sessions, hear every decision as it is made and keep creative control over your own song. I do the work myself and you get honest feedback instead of a sales pitch. You set the direction.
If you want to know whether this is the right fit for your song, hit the button and we'll talk it through, no strings attached.
