STEPHAN on SoundBetter

Over 30 million streams and counting on hits I've produced, mixed, and mastered.

I've been producing for about 7 years, and have worked with artists from all around the world in various genres. I mainly stick to indie music, and my chart-topping singles are indie pop, so this is definitely my niche. That said, I'm happy to work with artists with all sounds!

I've produced, mixed, and mastered songs that have garnered tens of millions of streams, gained millions of global fans, and have featured in some of indie's biggest media outlets (Spotify's Bedroom Pop, Nice Guys Records, Délicieuse Musique), as well as garnering attention from major record labels.

My mixing and mastering style has a distinct vintage sound, and adds a certain depth to my clients' music. I've spent years perfecting my craft and my sound, and would love to share it with you! As a solo artist myself, I understand the process of working with creators from a variety of genres, and the most important thing to me is creating something special that the client is proud of.

Reach out today and let's take your music to the next level together!

    Was such a pleasure working with Stephan again. He has a great ear and brought a bunch of awesome ideas at the mixing stage to take my song to the next level. He was super responsive, communicative, and patient as he took the time to work through a few iterations to help get the mix & master exactly right. The guy is a legend!!

    If you want to take your tracks to the next level, Stephan is your guy for sure. As an artist himself, Stephan understands and knows how to give songs more life, which I think is a really important quality. He's very responsive to feedback and even explains parts of the process to you, so you always know what's going on. I sent him a song and he put so much time and care into it and I couldn't be happier about how it turned out! He will make sure you're happy with your song. He's the best!

    Just finished my second job with Stephan. He is a most excellent mix engineer. His ear and his taste are top notch. His communication is always kind and clear. Super talented, amazing human being. I'd give him ten stars if I could.

    Second time working with Stephan and it was such a blast to work with him again. The song we both worked on is such a banger and I’m really happy with how it turned out. He definitely knows how to turn an amateur song into something mind-blowing. Can’t wait to work with him again!

    This was my second time working with Stephan on a mix. He really helped create the soundscape I envisioned on my track. He mixed my voice very well, and made sure that the bass & drums hit the way they're supposed to. I hope to continue working with him on future projects!

    Stephan is the real deal!
    Literally the coolest guy on the planet. I’m happy with how everything turned out and really greatful that he had hands on a song that I was struggling with. He was able to work around my schedule and make things perfect and I’m glad to have connected with him during the process of helping me out. Also his mixing is *chefs kiss*!
    This guy has the magic touch for everything! Definitely gonna work with him again.

    Working with Stephan was smooth sailing since day one. He was flexible, really understanding, and willing to make sure I got exactly what I wanted out of his mixing and mastering services. And most importantly the end product came out sounding even better than I expected. I highly recommend Stephan's services and I 100% will be working with him again.

    Stephan was incredible to work with. Can't recommend him enough! Our mix turned out better than we expected and he really translated our comments and ideas into a fantastic final product. We made a bunch of last minute changes, but he rolled with it and was enthusiastic and responsive the entire time. We set an aggressive deadline and he put in work to get it done even earlier than that! This guy is a legend.

    Stephan is absolutely top notch. If you're looking for a bedroom pop, alt-pop, lo-fi indie, dreamy yet funky kind sound, this guy can do it. He is very easy to communicate with and very professional about staying on top of the job. He brought super positive vibes to my project and definitely went the extra mile or two to make sure it was juuuuuust right! I will definitely be reaching out to work with him again.

    Amazing producer. Great communication. Extremely friendly aand oh did I mention he makes good music too? If you're looking for a certain sound STEPHAN will get you to were you want to go. I've used serval other producers on this platform so far STEPHAN used every opportunity to my experience as pleasant as possible. 10/10 snap him up while you can.

    Working with STEPHAN was the best experience! He took the time to get my mix/master sounding just how I imagined and his own creative elements took my track to another level! Couldn't recommend more!

Interview with STEPHAN

  1. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  2. A: I operate with a rack-mounted Focusrite interface, Yamaha HS8 studio monitors, and a pair of ATH-M50X headphone monitors. For effects processing, I use a combination of stompboxes, plugins, and a Roland 404 for distinct vintage and lo-fi sounds. I have a large collection of professional-grade plugins that I use to mix and master, including Izotope Nectar, Melodyne, various Waves and Softube mixing plugins, as well as Izotope Ozone 9.

  3. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  4. A: Don't follow rules, follow your ears.

  5. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  6. A: I usually work on songs in the lo-fi realm of music. This includes indie pop, lo-fi hip hop, bedroom pop, indie rock, etc. I also have worked on a good bit of R&B.

  7. Q: How would you describe your style?

  8. A: I can describe my mixing and production style as mellow and understated, but saturated enough so that a track sounds full and has depth. Lo-fi is the best way to describe it.

  9. Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

  10. A: I can promise clients will be thrilled with their final result.

  11. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  12. A: I've been producing for over 5 years, and currently am a professional musician, engineer, and producer.
