Mecnics on SoundBetter

B.Eng. Audio Engineer with love for Hip Hop and Rap!

I'm a recording, mix and mastering engineer with 15 years of experience based in Cologne, Germany. Since 3 years I am working in movie/tv sound postproduction as an editor and ADR recordist. Besides this halftime job I run my own studio "The Stu" offering recording, mixing and mastering services.
For mixing and mastering I'm working exclusively out of the box.
