Hi, I'm Simon.

I’ve been recording and mixing for over two decades and specialise in film, game and media scores.

Mixing music to media is a powerful storytelling tool. I work with composers of all genres to help tell their stories–whether sample based, hybrid, synth, contemporary or live orchestra–anywhere in the world thanks to file sharing and live review platforms.

Have some productions you need mixed in Dolby Atmos, surround or stereo? Maybe I can help record an ensemble for your score? (Or even play a line or too myself!) Hopefully I can make your life a little easier, so you can get on with the job of composing and creating.

About me
My IMDB
"Film score mixer Simon Ratcliffe creates an emotive soundscape, mixing traditional instruments and female acapella voices with intensified everyday sounds… the effect is chilling; the house feels somehow alive."
Nikki Baughman, ScreenDailyGood Madam
"The album would be worth listening to for pure quality of sound alone. The performance has been perfectly captured by engineer Simon Ratcliffe, with each and every aspect of range, dynamic and tone sitting contentedly in their own space…."
Rhythm PassportDerek Gripper’s Libraries On Fire (Songlines Award)
“Ratcliffe, a sound engineer, has beautifully mixed the film, integrating sound effects with music featuring spooky female vocals, a horror staple, with a South African twist…."
Horror OriginsGood Madam
“What a powerful, fantastic mix! Thank you again for your flexibility and special attention to detail with this one. Looking forward to collaborating again.”
Bryan AtkinsonGuild Wars 2
“...they’ve created a medieval masterpiece, a soundtrack that perfectly matches the period detail of the game.”

“I am so appreciative of all of your hard work and can’t wait for the fans to enjoy everything we have done.”
Drew CadyArenaNet
“No one gives a f*ck what I think, but you can tell you’re mixing in the right environment. I don’t miss anything and it sounds great.”
Erik Swanson The Hunger Games, The Bourne Legacy
“Walking into the studio for first time to hear a mix of your composition is truly a wonderful experience with Simon… how he has brought life and dynamics to your score, and exceeded your expectations!”
James Matthes and Daniel MattheeSeal Team, Five Fingers For Marseilles
