bntm music on SoundBetter

Song mastering is about finding the perfect place to fill the spaces of sound for the perfect balance of rhythm, harmony and sound presence.

After spending years working on my own music I'd like to be able to share my experience and understanding of sound with artists who have the talent already, but just need their production brought together to make their music sound the best it possible can. My approach to sound is to get it sounding as good is as it can before mastering so that all the work is nearly done with the master just pushing the envelope to that final point in the production process.

A: I'm inspired by everyone because all music matters. If a song takes me on a journey i'll be buying that ticket every time.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I generally like to give tracks a more up beat and electronic edgy sexiness when it's appropriate but I'm also happy to work with traditional instruments and styles as well.
