About
Peter Duff is a mixing engineer with decades of experience in music and audio. While he is well-versed in a wide variety of genres from folk to metal to hip-hop and works on all types of recordings, he currently specializes in making the recordings of DIY pop-punk and rock bands jump out of the speakers and come to life.
His background includes: learning under engineers Brian Reeves (U2, Billy Idol, Miley Cyrus) and Dan Viafore (Olivia Rodrigo, Bastille, NBC’s The Voice) at The Jungle Room in Los Angeles, owning and operating The Grey Brick Recording Studio in San Diego (2014-2020), playing and touring with Hard to Hit (a pop-punk band signed to Manic Kat Records), and a degree in music and recording from Cal Poly Pomona.
Peter has worked on countless songs and helped his clients achieve successes such as a grand prize from the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, and Rock Song of the Year from Akademia Music Awards. In addition, Peter has also mixed and composed for award winning podcasts and documentaries such as Drilled, The Minimalists, and Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things.
Peter primarily works out of his private studio in Atlanta, but is also available to travel for work or to engineer at other studios in Atlanta.
Reviews
“Peter took our artist’s initial concepts and brought them to a next level! As a label, we are always striving to have the best sounding finished products, Peter exceeded all our expectations!”
— Manic Kat Records President Pete James
“This guy is a magician. Peter was the first professional I ever worked with and he did not disappoint. I worked with him on my solo project and he kept the integrity of my original ideas and enhanced them.”
“I’ve been working with Peter on music production for years and have had nothing but good experiences. He’s an incredibly talented engineer and all around musician which makes it easy to know that I can turn to him when I’m struggling with an idea I have and know that he’ll help bring the vision to life and then execute it perfectly. He also takes as much pride in his work as the musician creating the music so you can always count on him to do his absolute best to fix any mistakes you make (or at least I make a ton) and then give the song a really amazing mix and master to cap it off. 10/10”
“If you want your songs to hit hard and sound extra punchy, Peter does such an amazing job really bringing your tracks to life. From heavy hitting breakdowns to smooth ambience or punchy grooves, Peters work really showcases his skills. From distorted heavy madness to a clean and crisp sound, this guy is your ticket to making your music sound professional and fun, while still keeping your vision alive and well.”
“When it comes to mixing and production, Peter is in a league of his own. He makes the recording process feel effortless and fun. Most importantly, his mixes sound impeccable- he could make a piece of crap sound like a grammy winner. I yet to find another producer like Peter.”
“We worked with Peter on mixing and mastering our new single and he knocked it out of the park - this is an engineer who knows his stuff and cares about his work product. The first mix Peter sent us was already release ready and better than what we thought the song could sound like, but Peter sent above and beyond to make sure we loved it by incorporating every single small note we had. We will definitely be working with Peter again on future releases and highly recommend his services!””
“World class mixing and mastering - honestly it doesn’t get better than working with Peter. He’s a true professional and makes the process fun and enjoyable from start to finish. I’ve got nothing but compliments from people on how GREAT my tracks sound after Peter finished mixing and mastering them. Do yourself a favor and work with Peter!”
