How it works
Learn Your Vision
We hop on a call together and talk about your desired sound and goals for the song(s) so I get to know exactly what you're looking for.
Band Feedback
You get the first version of the mix to hear and give any changes desired to fine tune the mix to sound how you want.
Final Mix Delivery
After you've signed off on the mix changes, you'll either get the final mix sent to you or move on to mastering.
Mastering
When it comes time to master the song, I’ll follow the same process as with mixing… first version master, feedback/changes, final master delivery.
Here’s What You Get
Mixing
No matter where you’ve recorded your music, I can turn your raw tracks into a cohesive and impactful mix that you’re proud to release.
Mastering
I turn the finished mix into a loud, clear, release-ready master that translates everywhere. Your song will hit hard, feel big, and stand up next to the records your fans already love.
... If before I mix your tracks needs a little attention...
Editing
Instruments out of time or a pitchy vocal?
I can get those tightened up for you as well.
Listen To Mark's Work
I know firsthand what it’s like to get your song recorded and be excited with how the tracks sound only to get your mix back and wonder… “what happened”?
Hey, I’m Mark Troyer, owner of Evergreen Sound. I’ve been recording, mixing, and mastering music for over 20 years. No matter how well a band has performed on their tracks, if the mix isn’t on point, you’ll struggle to get listens, followers, and new people out to shows.
I’ve made it my mission to make sure the bands I work with always have the upper hand by crafting mixes that deliver all the impact, size, and clarity needed to stand out in their genre.
You’ve worked hard to dial in the sound of your instruments and vocals live. My job is to translate that same energy and sound to the mix.
I’ve mic’d up and mixed hundreds of drum kits, guitar amps, basses, and vocalists. From that experience, I’ve formed techniques to…
- Take a snare that folds into a mix and make it punch and cut through
- Take guitars that are muddy and undefined and give them clarity, force, and breadth
- Turn a bass that drags the band down into one that drives the mix
- Give a vocal that gets lost in a dense mix the authority, aggression, and command it needs to stand out
The end result… each element has space, size, and impact. You don’t have to worry about whether or not you’ll be heard the way you intend. I’ve put in the work to deliver the results you’re after. You’ll get a dialed in mix that you’re proud to release.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Some of our most frequently-asked-questions:
Q. What if we don’t like the mix?
That’s what revisions are for. The process is designed to get you to a final mix you’re confident releasing, not rush you out the door. With that being said, clear communication about vision, reference songs, and your feedback all ensure we’re aiming at the same target from the start to the finish.
Q. What if we don’t have the budget for professional mixing right now?
That’s common — especially for independent bands. Most bands come to me when they realize the mix is the final barrier between their songs and being taken seriously by fans, playlists, and industry listeners. A label-quality mix doesn’t just make your music sound better — it reduces the risk of releasing something that holds your band back.
Q. Should we wait until our recordings are better before mixing?
Great mixes don’t require perfect recordings — they require intentional ones. If something truly needs fixing, I’ll tell you before we start. In most cases, a strong mix elevates solid performances and arrangements far more than waiting endlessly for “perfect” tracks.
Q. What is a typical timeline to get a song mixed?
It can vary. At the beginning of the process, we can talk about your timeline and release date goals. I do my best to tailor my timeline based on each band's needs.
Q. Why should I hire you, what makes you unique?
I have EQ, compression, and sampling techniques that I’ve developed over 20 years of full time studio work obsessing over tones, not just in mixing, but in recording as well. Because of this experience, my knowledge of your genre, and my specialization in mixing it; I can achieve far better results than the generalist who may not understand or be into your style of music.
Q. What’s your take on drum sampling?
It’s a powerful tool to achieve a desired sound… if done right. I’ll use them when it’s in line with the band's ethos and vision. At the end of the day, nailing your intended sound is my top priority.
Q. We’re not sure our guitar tones are working, can we send you clean DI tracks to reamp?
Yep. I digitally capture amps through my high end studio signal chain and use the captures to reamp with amazing results. Let’s talk guitar tones, and find a solution that works for you.
