EXI Studios on SoundBetter

Creative Sparkle, honest sound and a professional environment. I don't brag or shout out brand names or equipment. If it sounds good, it sounds good, I aim to provide a creative friendly edge and offer my own creative ideas if requested, Mixing, Mastering and producing from scratch :)

Hi There, my name is Dan, I’ve been passionate about music all my life, I’ve played in bands and dabbled in production for years, looking to offer a service to artists and producers a like to bring their song to the next level, save them time mixing or mastering, produce for a singer looking for a backing track or just someone looking to collaborate.

I don’t agree with online mixing or mastering as every track is different and more importantly, personal. I want to offer a personal service at a reasonable price as I do it because I love it, not because it’s a job.

Give me a nudge if you’d like to discuss anything, no job too small and no creative task too large and would love to help produce or collaborate.
