Flavien Dugard on SoundBetter

Engineer with years of experience working in professional French studios. I specialize in mixing and mastering heavy and alternative music — and any guitar-driven style with a strong vibe.

Hi, and welcome!

If you’re looking for a mix or master that sounds powerful, polished, and true to your artistic identity, I’d love to work with you.

I’m passionate about bold tones — tasteful saturation, rich harmonics, and spacious reverbs that bring music to life.

I understand the codes of heavy and alternative styles, whether you’re after roomy, organic drums or the tight precision of modern metal. And yes, growing up in the ’90s definitely gave me a love for big, memorable choruses.

I may not have a Grammy, but I bring enthusiasm, musical sensitivity, and a commitment to helping your track reach its full potential.

Let's talk about your project !

Interview with Flavien Dugard

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I come from a rock and metal background, but these days I’m also mixing pop and hip-hop — and loving it! What truly matters to me is working with artists who have a strong identity and musicality.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I am a perfectionnist.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Clarity, punch and depth.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I like to listen to the rough mix to understand the feel of the song, where the producers want to go... What are the emotions ?
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I spent a lot of time taking care of my listening environment : mesures, acoustic panels, room tuning with DSP... I think that is the most important element of any studio, because if you can't properly hear every details, what's the point ? Then I use a powerful Mac computer that can give me all the processing we need for tracks and plugins. I also own the Slate VSX modelling headphone which allows me to work anywhere !
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Mixing engineers that excel in any genres, like Andrew Scheps who can mixes Adele then Green Day. At the end of the day, all you need is good music !
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: These days, mainly mixing ! I work with a small amount of artists but they are so prolific that I am very busy ! They produce their music themselves andsend it to me to put the final touch :)
