Hi, Your requirements are very specific and it can be very difficult to hire the person that tick mark all your points but all the best if you find one.
I am not a Studio one user, but I can mix and master your instrumental and send processed stems back to you after the completion.
So by any chance you don't find anyone, just give my service a try.
Thank you.
Hello. I'm a professional studio * audio engineer. I work in studio one pro since 2014. Currently upgraded to V7.
1. I start with drums
2. I listen throughout the song, individual instruments, make a quick volume balance, and only then make a decision if a track needs any correction (Eq, compression ect... )
3. P.M me about.
4. I customize the mix appearance based on a template I used to work with... Doesn't affect the sound just yet ;)
5. Based on clients request... Usually in 2-4,5 days... Depends on many factors...
I can use all of my knowledge gained about audio mixing in this project and try to deliver you the best results possible and I also assure you you'll be satisfied with the results tottaly
Hey! I can help you mix your track.
--- My mixing process starts with EQing to clean up the lows and highs (cutting around 25/40Hz to 20kHz). Next, I use a second Pro-Q for critical listening and removing any resonating frequencies. If needed, I apply multiband compression with Pro-MB to balance the lows, mids, and highs.
Then, I use the Pro-C compressor for overall dynamic control, followed by a touch of Fresh Air for subtle enhancement. I add stereo width—slightly for frequencies above 150-200Hz and more for those above 5kHz. Finally, I apply a last EQ pass to eliminate any remaining peaks and enhance presence if necessary.
turnaround time for a mix is usually 2-3 days. contact me if you still have doubts.

My name is Najeemdeen and I may not be in audio-visual domain per se but boy oh boy can I take your visuals and turn them into sound. Having worked as a professional video editor for over four years, I have developed a strong sense of awareness when it comes to blending sounds seamlessly to uplift the visuals. With experience in the likes of Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro among others, I assure you that sound will be the least of your worries when working with me. Trust me with your studio one session and let me create a mix that doesn't just enhance clarity or ensure vocal quality but tells a story.
When choosing an Editor it's not just about the number of skills they have but also how those skills can be utilized together to produce the best outcome. Our mixing styles overlap quite significantly: While you deal with the audio directly, optimizing vocal/instrumental balance, I lead viewers into the mood spaces you've prepared. And nothing does this better than rhythm & tempo! My skill in making beats and rhythm click ensures that viewers ride on what they see fueled by impactful sounds.
As for your budget? negotiable
