Endorse Andrew Aurora Productions

by Blair Gilley
Andrew mixed a couple of tunes from our live performances & was truly able to capture the raw essence of the rock sound that we have going on at our core. The drum tones on his mix are BIG!!! He did an awesome job and we will definitely be calling on him to do more.

Andrew did a great job with our mix. He was patient with us as we communicated all we wanted. He was quick to do revisions and made sure we were happy with the overall sound. I highly recommend someone like Andrew who is attentive to detail and can make revisions in a timely and professional manner!

Andrew Aura works very effectively and efficiently, the final rendering is very airy and very fluid. I am very satisfied with the mastering of the track "7 billion culprits (Herot ft. Ares) which I published on my Yt channel. A big thank you, in the hope of being able to work with him again soon.

Comparing Andrews master of my track From The Deep to my own attempts to master and that of cloudbounce, Ozone 10 adv. Other mastering apps and mastering engineers attempts, Andrews is by far the best I've yet to hear. He manages to keep the dynamic, integrity and a great overall balance of the track so that everything is present and this track he's mastered for me is very very busy. It just shows how important it is to find someone like him who has the skill set to master ones music. 10 out of 10.

I just mastered a tracks by Andrew and he did an amazing job on my progressive house tracks. He added the punch the song needed. Everything is loud and clear and stereo wide. Thanks Andrew, i will work with you again.

by Liberosian State
Working with Andrew was an extremely efficient process. He got the job done, delivering a solid, wide, full mix and master with no hassle. He also frequently communicated clearly any important detail or question he had, and his own responses to questions and requests were prompt. He addressed every single issue I raised, and did so expeditiously. Definitely a professional who respects the work. 10/10.

Great and easy cooperation with Andrew, they quickly reached an agreement and the result of the song paid off.
I look forward to future cooperation.

Andrew is very easy to work with, I had no problems hiring him to mix and master my project! He does a good job and won’t give you any trouble! Loved working with him!
by Ender Bowen
Working with Andrew was fantastic! Right from our initial conversations to the end of the project, he was transparent and forthcoming about technical requirements and preparation, as well as timelines and sound references. Everything was done on time if not before it was due, and he was eager to help me find the sound I was looking for in the finished product. His attention to detail and his concerns for my art truly brought about a great music release that we could both be proud of!

Interview with Andrew Aurora Productions

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: A rock mix with over 100 tracks and preparing for a country recording session with a local artist
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: What's your turnaround time? my answer is to communicate your desired turnaround time with me. Is post production included in the mix? no, mixing is one service, and post production is a separate service Is mastering included in a mixing service? If you would like me to master your mix I will and that will be included in your mixing service at no extra charge. Otherwise I will just mix it for you to get it mastered elsewhere What's your price? I like to work with the budget of my client to settle on a fair price
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: If you're a mix engineer that means you also do edits, if you're the producer you're also the mastering engineer, or the producer is also the promoter, etc. Even though the mixing engineer can edit, doesn't mean its their job to when we are hired to mix, or because you produced a record its your job to promote. each title has its own role
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: If i was on a desert island I'm pretty sure music gear wouldn't be very useful, at least not for music purposes
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Find someone who is willing to work with you and has a great attitude. someone who cares about your music.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I do everything in the box as far as mixing and mastering are concerned. i start by importing the stems into my session, followed by my template. I then organize the session and do midi/sample replacement if necessary. once my session is organized and prepped i get to mixing/mastering.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I worked on this single for a local artist where we were on a tight timeframe and had a lot of work to do in. I had to record all the instruments which included guitar, trumpet, drums, bass and piano. I also had to edit, mix and master the song. We ran into technical issues and issues with working out our schedules to get it all done. Fortunately we were able to get it done in time, but it was a very stressful and frustrating project but the end result was great and the artist loved his final product.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Whats your creative goals? what are you career goal? Are you trying to be on the radio or make music just for yourself? Are you wanting to appeal to labels or be independent? what kind of sound are you going for, such as organic, modern, etc.? I think its crucial to understand the artists vision for their music and what they wanna do with it to really capture their artistic vision
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I went to school for audio production and music business in nashville. I interned at a local studio and then interned for live sound for a year. I have made live sound my day job while pursuing a full time career mixing/mastering
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Breaking Benjamin. Their music and production is phenomenal
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Try to make quick and effective decisions. You mix better when you are always being creative, not having to slow down and overthink things
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a treated recording/jam room, an aston spirit mic, hs7 monitors, fast track duo interface, and pro tools 12, cubase 10
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: getting a great balance in a mix
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: not yet. im pretty new, but im excited to meet people!
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: analog is great, but nowadays digital can sound so great and has way more flexibility, so i say digital. however, nothing beats some great analog gear
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I promise to work with you to make you happy, within reason. I take pride in my work and I want you to hear that when you get it back from me
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: making people happy, the ability to work for myself from home, the opportunity to be a part of music i'm working on.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: punchy, in your face, clear, modern
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: rock, metal, electronic, country
