Tracking and Mixing Engineer who has worked with Kelly Clarkson, The Avett Brothers, Jason Derulo, Flogging Molly, Pepper and more!
Hi, I'm Jordon Silva! I'm a Tracking and Mixing Engineer based in Los Angeles, Ca. I've worked with many great producers including: Ryan Hewitt, Rick Rubin, Pharrell and more over the last 10 years of my career. I most recently recorded Kelly Clarkson for her new album "Meaning of Life" as well as mixed a new single for SoCal Reggae/Rock band Pepper. I'm currently doing preproduction for Sundown Superhero before going to record them in Barbados in January.
I always keep the artists vision for their music in mind while Tracking or Mixing and feel it's an important part of the process to discuss this before heading into the studio. I'm a big believer in getting the final sound for a record during the recording process by taking the time to sculpt the right sound in the control room. I find it elevates the artists performance to ensure we capture the best take and make the song the best it can be.
I love a huge sound with everything being audible within the mix; with lots of movement with fader rides to make the song exciting and building up all the way to the end. If I'm not rocking out and looking like an idiot while mixing behind the console, then it's not there yet!

Jordon took a lot of care in helping me achieve my vision for the songs. I especially appreciated the live mixing sessions which were fun and productive. I love the mixes he did - my songs have come alive under his artistry with new dimensions and a fullness I didn’t realize was missing. I get goosebumps listening to the songs now and can’t wait for others to hear them. Thank you, Jordon!

I had a track that i was nurturing for 2 years, it meant the world to me and when the time came to finally wrap it up, i needed a high level mixing engineer and i found that in Jordon, he absolutely delivered.
He wanted to know the story behind the song and made it personal!
I remember hearing the track back for the first time after his finishing touches and getting an overwhelming sense of Accomplishment. That feeling alone was worth it all.. I cant wait until the next one!! - check_circleVerified

I was so happy with Jordan’s work that I couldn’t wait to get another song done. I had some feedback from the first mix, he went in and made every suggestion I had happen! Very stoked with the way the tracked turned out and can’t wait to get more tracks mixed with him. Highly recommended!

Jordan is a legend. He completely transformed my song and his communication was great! All around very stoked to have connected with Jordan. It’s incredible what a professional mix can do.

Thumbs up for this guy! He asks the right questions up front - requested the midi for bass and drums. That's pretty important for a mixing engineer to add value to songs. And song submitters should be flexible on that point. He successfully captured/mixed in the really good vocal tracks sent in by Candela Cibrian, a Soundbetter artist/singer. He improved the songs about 50 to 80% better from what I handed him.

Jordan will give your track the PRO sound you are looking for. His mixing is brilliant. He is cpable of delivering an amazing balance with beautiful bottom end, punch and power, and awesome space. Dont forget that polished finish, he gets it. I've had many mixes done by others I've found on Soundbetter, Jordans are by far the best. By FAR!

Jordon is great! He was fully dedicated to making sure we loved the end product... and we did! We were impressed by his work as recording engineer and especially his work as an editor/mixer. We would definitely recommend and work with him again! Thanks, Jordon!
Jordon is a fantastic engineer. He really is able to get a HUGE, clean sound w/ a space for every instrument. He was easy to communicate with and extremely fast with his revisions (although he pretty much nailed the mix from the first try. I would highly recommend Jordon to anyone who wants to take there song to next level.
A consummate mixing engineer: scintillating sonic skills, patient and resourceful. You will not be disappointed.
Jordon is not only an amazing mix engineer, his producing skills are among the best there is! I trust him for his ideas and his work relationships with the artists he’s working with! For example in finishing a lead vocal track, the artist was lacking the emotion necessary to capture the listener. Next thing I knew, Jordon challenged him. The kind of challenge that would probably p_ss most folks off! The singer came back with a new found energy let’s say that translated to emotion...voila! Great track! Jordon is one of the best and a true professional!
