Mixing
Cinematic Mixing is a remote mixing service that specialises in music for the media. With twenty years of experience in music production, your project is in safe hands. Music for media covers everything from orchestral music to heavy metal, ambient soundscapes to epic trailers. To be able to tackle such a diverse range of challenges, you need someone that has first-hand experience in writing, producing and delivering such work at a professional level. This is why Cinematic Mixing isn’t just your ordinary remote mixing service. We have an intimate knowledge of the challenges that composers and artists face in today’s music industry. Little things like being able to read a score, providing appropriate stems for a library track, or a second pair of eyes on your sync to picture all make a massive difference to your workflow and peace of mind.
Mastering
It takes years to perfect the art of mastering in order for your music to translate effectively across all media sources, not to mention having the right equipment to do it. No “automatic” mastering service will be able to give your music the fine attention to detail and gentle crafting that it deserves. Let us show off your music in the best possible light, no matter where you are listening to it. We will listen to your requirements, discuss deliverables and work with you to provide everything you need.

Testimonials
“As a soundtrack vocalist, I’ve worked on several projects that were masterfully mixed by Tim - his mixing skills, musical sensitivity and delightful, easy to work with personality are an asset to any team. Whenever we work together on a project, not only can I fully trust that the vocal mix will be in excellent hands - I also find myself referring to his mixes when I get asked by composers how I prefer my voice to be mixed. Highly recommend!”
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Cinematic Mixing on multiple occasions, and it comes very easy to me to recommend him without hesitation. Attention to detail, delivering when he says he’s going to deliver, and exceeded expectations are just some of the qualities you’ll enjoy when collaborating with Tim. If you want to make your work shine and really stand out from the crowd, congratulations, you’ve found the guy you need.”
“Working with Tim Johnson at Cinematic Mixing is truly a privilege; his exceptional skill and musical sensitivity means he expertly navigates through both sides of my work, from detailed orchestral compositions to delicate intimacy in solo vocal and cello. Tim created a vibrant, three-dimensional soundscape in my latest album Invocation / Supplication, and he brought a magic to my recordings, making him an invaluable collaborator in the creative process. I look forward to our next project together!”
“I’m an artist and a composer for video games. Tim is always my first choice to go to when I need my tracks mixed. He knows how to get that spacious, cinematic sound that I love; and he saved my bacon when he turned around a trailer for the upcoming Playstation title, Wardens Rising, and saved the day. He’s easy to work with, and creates great mixes for me.”
“Working with Tim has been an absolute pleasure! He is a truly talented mixing and mastering engineer whose professionalism and attention to detail are outstanding. For the project Pleiades: Victims of a Serial Killer - a true crime docuseries I composed music for - Tim fully understood the vision and delivered mixes that went well beyond what I expected. He’s always flexible, impressively quick with his work, and brings a creative touch that really enhances the final sound. Collaborating with him is easy and inspiring, and I’m more than happy to recommend him without any hesitation!”
“I had previously been really sceptical of using professional mixing services following some really bad experiences a number of years ago. However I could not be more happy with the results from Tim at Cinematic Mixing. He worked absolute magic with my orchestral mix, giving it huge power and presence, whilst managing to bring out sounds, details and timbres that I was completely unaware of, and still retaining the original feel and overall sound of the piece. His turnaround was quick, and he was also super-patient with me going backwards and forwards between revisions. I will definitely be using Tim and Cinematic Mixing for any of my future projects, and would highly recommend his services to anyone.”
“I recently recorded music with a full orchestra and worked with Tim at Cinematic Mixing for the mixing and mastering. Tim did an outstanding job—he was incredibly responsive throughout the process, took my feedback seriously, and really listened to what I was aiming for. The results were polished, professional, and captured the emotion and clarity I wanted in the final mixes. His attention to detail and musical sensitivity made a huge difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.”
“Working with Tim was an exceptional experience. I brought him a complex orchestral piece that shifted through a wide range of moods and dynamics. His mixing work was outstanding — he clearly understood the music on a deep, artistic level. Each instrument section had remarkable clarity, and the overall sound was simply phenomenal. Tim was also a pleasure to collaborate with: responsive, accommodating, and impressively quick with turnaround. I highly recommend his services.”
“Tim did a fantastic job mixing three short pieces of live orchestral music, and was professional and courteous in all communications.”
“You have hit the mark far better than my amateur mixing and exceeded my expectations of how it can sound.”
“Cinematic Mixing just mixed and mastered my orchestral track and delivered a great result! Very nice to work with. Can highly recommend! ”
“The production really is wonderful, I’ve already had compliments on it which I credit to you. I can’t thank you enough for bringing my music up to a professional standard and for all your advice and support. I’m sure it won’t be the last time I ask for your mixing help!”
“Mixing an entire live orchestra was a daunting task for me. Composing and orchestrating? Yes. Mixing all those mics from the live session where it wasn’t just a case of ‘turning up the oboe track’ and knowing the exact effects needed to give it that live feel? No way! I had no hesitation in booking cinematic mixing and it proved to be the right choice, going out of their way to deliver a great mix, on schedule. Thank you!”
