Hi, I'm David Fraelic, a mixing and mastering engineer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and singer-songwriter with 20+ years of experience. Based in Victoria, BC, Canada, I work with artists to create polished mixes that preserve the character and emotion of their music.

My credits include major and independent label releases, and mixes with hundreds of thousands of combined streams. I've completed an extensive mix mentorship program with 12-time Grammy-nominated engineer Joe Carrell, further developing the technical and creative skills I bring to every project.

I'm passionate about Rock, Metal, Pop-Punk, Emo, Indie, Alternative, Country, Americana, Pop, and Singer-Songwriter music. My background spans songwriting, production, and performing guitar, bass, and vocals, giving me an understanding of the work that goes into a song before it reaches the mixing stage.

As an artist myself, I know how personal it is to share your voice and your songs. My goal is to bring out the best in both, preserving the emotion and personality of your performance while giving your music the polish it deserves. Whether you're after an intimate vocal, a hard-hitting rhythm section, or a full-band mix with energy and depth, your artistic vision guides my approach.

I combine my collection of analog gear with digital precision, approaching every mix with a musician's ear and the attention to detail I've developed over 20+ years as an engineer. From vocal tuning and tonal balance to dynamics and creative effects, each decision serves the song.

My approach is collaborative. We'll discuss your goals, references, and any concerns about your recordings, with the option of a video call to dig deeper. I keep communication open throughout the process so you feel comfortable sharing feedback and confident about the direction of your mix.

Outside the studio, I'm a Marvel obsessive, D&D and RPG fan, and proud parent to Theo, my Maine Coon. I enjoy a good Guinness and should probably drink less coffee, but I'm not going to.

Let's connect and make music you're proud to share!
