My Philosophy

Mixing is an intricate blend of technical mastery, artistic vision, and intuitive decision-making. It’s about how sounds interact, support and enhance one another, and work together to communicate the deeper narrative behind the music. Every track has its own personality and story to tell, and my job is to make sure that story is told with authenticity and emotion.

No two mixes are ever the same for me. I dedicate time genuinely listening to the raw recordings, studying the lyrics, and connecting with the artist to understand their vision. I believe in taking a tailored approach to each project, creating something unique and fitting rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all production formula. In the end, both the artist and their audience deserve more than a generic mix — they deserve a piece of music that resonates on a deeper level.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It

Jason is one of the best mixing engineers I’ve worked with. His mixes sound wonderful and he’s excited to put in the efforts needed to accomplish the mix. I highly recommend hiring Jason for your next mix.
Jerry OtherMisfits
Working with Jason is always an amazing experience. He is an incredible sound engineer who helps your vision come to life. It’s easy to communicate, suggest and share new ideas, and transform songs with his capabilities. I’ve worked on several songs with him and I’m always super happy with the finished product!
Camille KMusician
I had three EP’s with a total of 15 songs mixed by Jay at 0x1 Sound. Each song was given a new life from the demo mix that came before. I don’t think there’s another engineer that has the type of passion Jay has for mixing audio and working with artists to get the perfect end result. I could not recommend getting your music mixed by anyone else!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Jason was so easy to work with on our project. He was organized and flexible to ensure we got everything we wanted. He is also a mixing genius. We are very happy with the final product and were amazed at how affordable it was.
Lauren GarnerTrinty
Such an amazing experience and fun professional environment. Jay did a phenomenal job on giving the new Percussor album a true feel of the death metal I grew up on. I highly recommend Jason to any death metal bands local or abroad. You won’t be disappointed.
Jack CarmichaelPercussor
My band recently mixed a full-length record at 0x1 and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience!Jason really knows his stuff, and he's a great guy. He's very down to earth and personable, and he truly, genuinely cares about the music. He works with some big clients, but is humble and caring enough to work with local acts as well, and he pays the same amount of time and attention to those smaller projects.That's very rare. Oh, and on top of all that, it's very affordable! You won't be disappointed!
Siravo
Some engineers mix songs. Jay bends sound to his will. His mixes don’t just sound good — they demand attention. He doesn’t follow presets or formulas. He listens, finds the song’s DNA, and pulls the best out of every take. Jay doesn’t mix hits — he stares at the audio, and it mixes itself out of respect.
