How it works

Three steps, no guesswork.

01

Upload

Send files through a private upload link — WAV, AIFF, or MP3. Keep separate tracks separate. No Dropbox account needed on your end.

02

Clean

I listen first, identify what's actually wrong, and fix each issue with the right tool. No one-size-fits-all AI preset — every file gets a human pass.

03

Deliver

Cleaned files in your inbox within 24–48 hours, with short notes on what I heard and what could help at the source next time.

What We Fix

Every problem has the right tool.

No presets, no one-size-fits-all algorithms. Each file gets a human pass — diagnosed first, then treated with the specific tools the problem actually calls for.

Why a human, not AI?

AI cleanup tools make good audio passable. They don't know the difference between a Neumann U87 at 6 inches and a Shure SM7B at 3 — and they can't hear your room.

Trained ear

Blackbird Academy Studio + Live — both courses completed. Nashville-trained, years of audio mixing, mastering, and restoration.

Capture advice included

Deliveries include notes on what could help next time at the source.

Confidentiality by default

Your files stay private and secure, auto-deleted 30 days after delivery. No AI trained on your content.

Free offer

Audio Audit

Upload a 2–3 minute clip from your setup. I'll send back a written one-page audit: what I hear, what's fixable in post, and what would help at the source next time.
