Founder | Sound Designer | Mixer

From his early days covering Pearl Jam at his high school’s Battle of the Bands (out-applauding Gym Class Heroes by a solid 3dB), he’s been drawn to the alternative, finding creative ways to fuse his love of music with all things sonic. That instinct to follow the less obvious path eventually led him to New York City, where he dove into the world of film and entertainment as a Re-recording Mixer and Supervising Sound Editor.

His credits include acclaimed projects like Blue Valentine, Hot Rod, Frozen River (Sundance Grand Jury Prize), Blue Ruin (Cannes), The Crowded Room (Apple TV+), and multiple seasons of Damages. He’s collaborated on numerous festival standouts, some of which have gone on to earn Oscar nominations and critical acclaim.

Before launching Alt_Mix, Cory was a seasoned Commercial Mixer and Sound Designer, and helped shape work for top brands like Google, HBO, Lincoln, Budweiser, Toyota, and Kroger, among many others.

Whether he’s working on a film, a commercial, or something in between, Cory brings a collaborative, tailored approach to each project. He’s focused on making the process smooth, the vision clear, and the final result something you truly want to hear.
