When the mix is right, the song takes over.
I’m Dave Stagl, a mixer and co-producer working with serious, song-driven artists.
Maybe the performances are strong. The production is close. But something still isn’t right. The chorus should hit more. Parts are getting lost. The mix feels flat instead of dimensional. The record sounds finished, but when you play it back, you know it’s not there yet.
That gap between where your music is and where you hear it in your head is where I work.
With nearly three decades in audio, I bring the judgment and ears to close that gap while keeping the song true to itself. Together we’ll create clarity, depth, and dynamic lift so it connects the way it’s meant to.
When we’re done, you’re not analyzing the mix. You’re confident releasing the record.

About David Stagl
I’ve worked with audio since the late 90s. Not all of it was music, and that’s one of the most valuable things about how I work.
After starting as a recording studio intern, I moved into post-production: broadcast, voiceover, commercials, and television, including work that aired on networks like Discovery and HGTV. That’s where I developed editorial discipline, the ability to hear what isn’t working quickly and fix it without losing momentum. Clarity and intelligibility weren’t optional. They were the standard.
From there, I spent over a decade as a front-of-house engineer and broadcast mixer leading the audio side of large-scale live and streaming productions. High-stakes, high-pressure, no room to second-guess. That environment sharpened my instincts and taught me how to make decisions that hold up in real time.
Since 2015, my focus has been music mixing, consulting, and immersive audio. Everything I learned in those earlier chapters, including precision, speed, and calm under pressure, shows up in every mix I do now. It simply shows up in service of the song.
In recent years, that background also led to broadcast and streaming work featuring artists such as Lecrae, Mayday Parade, The Kid Laroi (Hulu/ABC), and Carah Faye of Shiny Toy Guns. These weren’t always album credits. They began as live and broadcast productions where the mix had to translate immediately and hold up across platforms. In some cases, those performances went on to become official releases.
I also come at this as a musician. I released my own record as a singer-songwriter and still play guitar. I know what it feels like to put your name on something and let it go. That perspective makes me careful with other people’s work and protective of the parts that make a song feel like theirs.
Along the way, I’ve consulted and created content for companies including Avid, Shure, Waves, FabFilter, Penteo, and Korneff Audio. My presets appear in multiple Waves plug-ins. I’ve spoken at national production conferences and appeared on industry podcasts. Those roles reflect the depth behind the decisions I make in the studio every day.
But that’s not the point.
The point is your record.
