Location Sound Mixer

Good sound starts on set. I am dedicated to combining the right tools with the requisite knowledge to make your project sound great.

About Me

My name is Nihar Gagneja, and I'm a location sound mixer and sound editor based in Chicago. I have experience across a variety of different content formats including commercial, documetnary, and narrative. My past clients include Volkswagen and Vice Media.

I am able to tailor a sound package for your productions needs, from run-and-gun ENG work to cart-based narrative mixing.
