Jake Lewis

Affordable Mixing Engineer

Jake Lewis on SoundBetter

I'm the most skilled and professional engineer you will find at this price point. I treat this profession and art form with the upmost respect and do my best to deliver great music to my clients. If you're looking for a fantastic sound at an affordable price, I'm your guy.

I've been professionally recording, mixing and producing records for nearly 5 years now. I interned with one of Massachusetts best recording and mixing engineers, Robie Rowland, at Echo Studio for a year in 2017. Since then I have operated out of Echo Studio and built a home studio where I have helped many artists grow and find their sound at an affordable price.

I'm not a yes-man, I aim to make you better. If you ask for my opinion I will give it whole-heartedly with the hopes it makes you better as a person and artist.
