Steve Savage offers engineering and production services for all stages of music recordings and in all genres of music.  Savage works at many of the finest San Francisco Bay Area recording studios.

Although Savage still does track complete CD projects, he works primarily as a mixer and mastering engineer.  He is doing all of his mixing and mastering “in the box” and has a powerful Pro Tools system with extensive plug-ins housed in an acoustically tuned room.  Of course Savage works with Bay Area artists but he also offers “remote” mixing services, providing clients who can’t be physically present for mix sessions access to mixes via download.  See below for more information on remote mixing and mastering services.

For a selected list of Savage’s CD and DVD credits please see the discography page.

“Working with Steve is a pleasure. I trust his ears completely. He has the perfect combination of prodigious knowledge, extensive experience and meticulous attention to the smallest detail. My project consisted of new songs in a retro style and Steve aptly honored the past while ensuring the mixes were thoroughly up to date.”

“My mixing and mastering experience with Steve Savage could not have been better. He has an incredible ear, listens carefully to what his client wants, and can make the right changes with very little need for explanation; it’s like he could read my mind! On top of that, he is an excellent musician and a pleasure to interact with.”

Don Seaver
Recording artist

 

“In terms of the way things sound and the general relative levels…well, gee…how can I say this?  It’s great!  We are very happy with your overall approach, your instincts make sense to me.  I like where the vocal is sitting, it feels personal and present.  The separation between instruments is really nice and yet everything feels like it is already blending together well.”
