Rob Myers on SoundBetter

I am a Songwriter and Mix Engineer focusing in Metal/Punk/Rock/Pop/Acoustic/Live recordings for the last 18 years. I focus on the hook of a song and how to get that "oomph" into every track I work with. I also do voice over work for commercials, as well as photo/picture editing. Ask me if I can help get your company on Pandora!

I am a well received songwriter, accepted for many placements with publishing houses. I have been contracted for my entire last album for worldwide licensing.

I have an Honorable Mention from the International Songwriting Association.

I have been invited to play festivals up throughout the East Coast of the U.S. with my previous bands.

I have ran recurring live recording sessions in Baltimore - Recording bands such as Jimmy's Chicken Shack,Pasadena,Bond & Bentley, Skribe, Kelly Bell Band and Invisible Republic.

I have multiple film credits including a "Best Soundtrack" for a 2005 short film festival in College Park, MD.

I additionally created MMA fighter Mike Young's entrance music.

Interview with Rob Myers

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What reference tracks do you want this to sound like? What's the one thing you think needs the most help?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Be clear about what you want, or I'll be asking a lot of questions. If you're not happy with something of your recording you're giving me, TELL ME. I can probably fix it. In the end, this is all music, let's have some fun with it.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Gibson 335,JCM 800, Neve 1073, Neumann U87, and a decent drum machine to keep me entertained. I hope it has a play along feature! Unless I can bring a bandmate?
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Pretend you're listening to it for the first time... What would you want to feel from the song?
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Most of my music coming through is Rock/Hard Rock.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring a focus to an idea. I enjoy the feeling of when that chorus starts to soar, or a prechorus hits the drop off and you can feel it in your bones! I can get the best performance out of you, I know that.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I bring my sessions in to pro tools and edit/mix/comp as needed to bring out the best results possible. I try to keep all clients as involved as they want to be in the process.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I currently have a 14x13 control room and temporary separate tracking room until the new garage gets finished out for completely isolated drum tracking.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I am a huge fan of the late 90's power pop movement, Mid 90's Metal, and anything Phil Collins and John Fogerty are involved with. Recording wise - Chris Lord Alge, Rob Cavallo, Neal Avron.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Mixing, Vocal recording, Pre-Production album work.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog and Digital. I'm with Andrew Schepps about digital though. The recall is fantastic. I track with as much analog gear as I can, so we have less to do in the mix!
