SemogEng Online Engineer on SoundBetter

3 courses done, 20+ projects done, offering a preview of your song worked by me for free, if you like you hire me for the full version.

My first course was 'Extensive Audio & Production' (2014), followed by 'Pro Tools training' (2015) and finally specialized in 'Mixing and Mastering' in 2017.. I am opened to work any genre within 2 days of deadline, but it's normal to me (depending when I was hired) to give a position within hours or a day;

I will, or not, use analog gear and even after the preview I offer 3 revisions.
