About McKay Garner

Forward-thinking sound and music adventurer skilled in music production, stereo and Dolby Atmos mixing, recording, sound design, composition, and songwriting. I have been fortunate enough to have produced, mixed, and/or engineered records for well-known and soon to be well-known artists on many major and independent labels. I have worked in styles from pop to Chicano to classical to experimental electronic to hard rock and many sounds in between. These days I spend a good bit of my hired work mixing records, but as a producer, I am always on the lookout for artists that really inspire me with which to collaborate. I am also concentrating on releasing more of my own compositions, collaborative works, and production projects these days. Please visit my website at http://mckaygarner.com to hear some of my engineering and production work.Specialties include Dolby Atmos and stereo music mixing, production, programming, recording, sound design and arranging. I play drums, guitar, bass, keys, and sing well enough to get some jobs done well and some done well enough. I have a fantastic database of musicians I work with to get the things I don't do well done REALLY well!Some artists and companies I have worked with include: Red Hot Chili Peppers, J Dilla, Michael Bublé, Quetzal, Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park), Los Cojolites, Flogging Molly, doppio, Valencia, Foreign Born, Sony/BMG, Warner Brothers Records, NBC, ABC, CBS, The CW, Bravo, Chevrolet, and many more.Some client comments:Joe Markert (Singer/Songwriter/Multi-talent):"Can't recommend McKay enough!"Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park):"Great mix.love it"Ram Dass Khalsa (Solo artist/Producer, Snatam Kaur)-"They’re incredible mixes.
