FRANK LEONARD WALKER

Mixing and Mastering Engineer

Home: Welcome

SERVICES PROVIDED

I'm a mixing and mastering engineer based in Kent, UK. I know how much drive and passion is thrown into making music, but also the frustration of not getting the sound you want. Having worked with audio for over 10 years and now operating from my self-built home studio, I can work with you to take your raw recordings and transform them into a bespoke professional and commercial sounding record.
