Mixing & Production that Feels Personal, Collaborative & Genuinely Supportive

Working with an artists is more than a technical job - it’s a relationship.

You’re trusting someone with your sound, your ideas, your voice and your musical identity.

My role is to give you a space where you can feel understood, supported and excited about what your music can become.

I bring the same clarity, care and attention to detail to artist projects as I do corporate work, but with the emotional intelligence and creative sensitivity that artists need. You get honest guidance when it matters, space to experiment without pressure, and a mix that reflects who you are.

What I Help Artists Achieve

  • A Sound that Feels like you - Polished, confident and true to your musical identity

  • A Safe, Relaxed, Creative Environment - No ego, no judgement, no pressure

  • Clear, Honest Feedback - Delivered with care and focussed on helping you grow as an artist

  • A Collaborative Process - Your ideas matter, and your voice leads the direction

  • Results You’re Proud to Share - The kind that make people say “who mixed this?”

    Game Changer

    I went to Paul Smyth Music to record my ‘Bucket List’ single.

    His professionalism; musicianship; knowledge and unbiased guidance throughout made it a joy!

    The result was more than I could have hoped for.

    I highly recommend his services for any recording; mixing; engineering; production and mastering needs!

    Working with Paul was a joy.  Being an old beardy, organic, folk singer type, I was apprehensive about working to a click, but I got down a live take, hit on an appropriate tempo and Paul started building from my guitar up.  The process was a revelation!  Paul suggested ideas and seemed to have understood the song right from the start.  By the time we were layering on vocals, the track was transformed and yet the vision remained constant.  I can’t describe how happy I am with it.  Best thing I have ever done.  Also, the most fun!

    Hey Paul - thanks for getting involved in the ‘Home Studio Simplified’ mix contest, and congratulations on winning. Your drums were awesome! Your acoustic guitars were spot on as far as tone and feel go! The artist loved your vocal chain and was staggered with what you did to bring the vocal to life in this mix. Great Job!”

  • Mari Dangerfield

    Working with Paul was exactly what I needed. I came into the project looking for a mix engineer I could trust, and I was relieved to find someone who was reliable, patient, and genuinely attentive.

    He communicated clearly, handled every revision with patience, and translated my feedback beautifully.

    The end result is a track I’m genuinely excited about, and to anyone considering working with him, I’d say: absolutely do it. Paul is not only skilled, but a really great person to collaborate with.
