I am a creative and detail-driven producer, engineer, and mixer specializing in audio engineering and production for music.

Dereck Blackburn is the recording, mixing, and mastering engineer behind Quiethouse Recording. With two decades in studios and a background as a guitarist-turned-multi-instrumentalist, he approaches every project as a true collaborator—helping artists turn rough voice memos into fully-realized indie, dream-pop, and rock recordings.

In sessions, Dereck balances technical precision with an ear for emotion: guiding arrangements, offering clear production choices, and making sure each mix feels both polished and honest. Whether tracking, co-writing, or jumping in on an instrument, he’s there to support the artist’s vision and keep the creative energy high.

The result: records that sound like the music that first inspired you—only unmistakably yours.
