I've worked in this industry for 10 years and Kyle is one of the most talented producers, engineers and mixers I've had the please of working with. When I need someone who I know will provide quality work, I call Kyle. His attention to detail, songwriting sensibility and dedicated ear keep him standing out from the rest.

Highly underrated producer. You’re crazy not to work with Kyle!

Interview with Kyle Reith

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I'll bring up the Jonas Brothers album again. It's honestly such an incredible piece of work. You'll hear it soon!
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Just finished up some engineering work on the Jonas Brothers upcoming album. Since then just working with clients.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Not at the moment.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. There are things that make a lot more sense to do in the box then only use outboard gear.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I'll do a bunch of re-mixes, no added price. As long as they're happy.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: That I get to make music all day! It's a lot of work, but I would rather spend 12 hours a day working on something I care about rather something that I dislike.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Most questions I get is about turnaround time. I try to get the artist their work as soon as possible.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That it's easy.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Most of the time I tend to ask exactly the feeling they want to capture, and then attempt to turn that feeling into reality.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Don't let them make you pay more for less work. If you're paying, the end goal is for the artist the be happy, not have an empty bank account.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Defiantly my computer, My iLok, A guitar, an interface, and a pair of monitors.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started making music at a really early age. I didn't start taking music seriously and downloading a DAW until I was 16. I'm 23 years old now, so that around 7 years.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I would like to say a put creative spin on most basic sounding tracks. My influences range from many older songs, but with modern production.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I really wouldn't say I have a specific artist in todays generation that I would die to work for. If I had the chance, I would love to work with some of the bands of the 70's including Pink Floyd and The Police.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Atmosphere and texture is everything in a song. Ear candy is always a must.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I work on mostly all genres of music, some of the most common genres being; Pop, Alternative, R&B, and Indie.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is definitely being incredibly focus on quality. When I'm going to produce a song, at the end of the day, even if its just a demo, I want it to sound sonically finished. When it comes to mixing and mastering, I am very transparent with clients, and always catering to what they want and need, not what I determine to be 'right.'
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Music to me is about clarity. What does the song mean? Who is it for? How will it be perceived? Asking yourself these questions allows you to create a piece of art that is both meaningful to you, but also the people you present it to. I believe I have a strong ear in determining how those questions can be answered within artists music.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I typically tend to get to the studio everyday around 10am, have a cup of coffee, and get to work on whatever needs to be done for the day, leaving by 8-9pm.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I currently work out of a studio in Los Angeles. I'm lucky to share this studio with another producer and mix engineer, therefor our equipment is shared. I normally use a pair of Amphions and Focals for monitoring. As for outboard gear we have a CL-1B, 8 Neve 1073 preamps, some outboard 500 series compressors, some nice microphones (U87, CM800T, Ribbons, etc.) and a variety of instruments.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I have spent a lot of time being mentored by some incredible musicians. Some of the most prominent musicians who stand out to me are Jon Bellion and Peter Nappi. They have really made a huge wave in popular music over the past year.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Most of the work I do for my clients is what people call a 'finisher.' If you have production ideas that you want improved, are in need of radio ready mixes and vocal production, or simply melody and songwriting improvements, I'm the go to guy.
