Stew Crookes Mixing Reviews 7

I recently worked with Stew on my 6 song EP. His superior mixing expertise, combined with his extreme easy going demeanor and accessibility, made the process very seamless and enjoyable for me. I'm incredibly happy with how the mixes turned out and I would not hesitate to hire him for future projects.

It's a pleasure and inspiration to work with Stew. As a musician and a mixing engineer, his creativity, precision and care are second to none. His wealth of experience is evident in every smart choice he makes, and he is flexible, open and interested in ideas. It's very easy to communicate with him and once I started working with him, I only wanted to carry on doing so in further projects. Each mix that he has sent has been undeniably excellent, elevating the songs. In short: he's one of those people you feel lucky to have stumbled upon.

Amazing person, stunning musician and mixer, perfect workflow. Stew clearly is one of the most reliable and professional musician I've ever met. We've been on stage together many times in various configurations, and his joyful presence and enormous musicianship always made those experiences memorable. Not only a great performer (especially on pedal steel), Stew is a very experienced engineer and a tasteful mixer. He will understand your project and respect each one of your intentions, while feeding your tracks with his creativeness. He works efficiently, delivers quickly, accompanies you throughout the whole process with elegance and clarity. Would absolutely recommend him for a vast range of musical genres. His knowledge of all the aspects of music-making (from performing instruments and studio engineering to mastering) makes him the person you need for your project.

I’ve worked with Stew on a bunch of different projects over the years, and I’ve always been thrilled with the results. He’s hardworking, extremely knowledgeable, creative and easy to work with.

Stew has tracked and mixed three of my albums, but over the last 10 years has also become my engineering mentor. He’s helped me grow as an engineer, opened my ears to the production side of music and given me the skills needed to survive as a musician in a time when playing an instrument well is not enough.

Stew is great and easy to communicate ideas to and also has a keen sense of what a track needs and to me that is really important because sometimes I can't express exactly what that might be, so to have Stew have that understanding and feel is really important to me and especially to the song.

My experience with Stew couldn’t have been better! As engineer, mixer and producer he was fully committed to ensuring the outcome of my project was exactly what I wanted. I’m the end my expectations were exceeded. Thanks Stew!

I've worked with Stew for over 10 years in his capacity as a producer, engineer and mixer. In recent years, most of my work has transitioned to being online and I Stew's coaching as well as artistic contribution has empowered me to be fully confident in recording live at home, managing my files, learning about DAW's and software plugins etc., and he sends me back mixes that sound authentic and organic as though we were all still working in a live studio.
