Andreas Hedlund on SoundBetter

Every Million Miles, Adam Tensta, Amy Diamond, Wei Wei, Tainted Black

I have studied music production at the renowned Songwriters Academy of Sweden and would be delighted to assist with your musical projects. Whether you need help mixing a song or recording piano, organ, or guitar parts, I am here to serve the song and enhance its emotional impact.

With extensive experience and top-notch equipment, I offer a fast turnaround of usually 1-2 days, with a maximum of 4 days. My primary DAW for mixing and recording is Studio One. I use a Neumann TLM 103 microphone through a UA6176 compressor and an Apollo Universal Audio interface, along with a Shure SM7B microphone. For collaborations, I prefer using Soundtrap.

My go-to instruments include a Gibson J-45 guitar and a Nord Stage 3 keyboard. Additionally, I have a diverse sample library featuring a variety of sounds and instruments, including Irish flutes and accordions.

Please tell me about your project and how I can assist by clicking the ‘Contact’ button above.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

Andreas is a great writer, and his tracks are extremely well recorded. His layering of acoustic guitars is beautiful and very in-the-pocket; piano too. He’s a pleasure to work with!

Interview with Andreas Hedlund

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I sometimes record with children. It is both challenging and fun. I learn a lot from their perspective. I try to blend their knowledge with mine. However, one artist I would love to play with is Van Morrison, especially from his earlier era.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Work hard and learn.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Mostly rock, indie, pop, soul, but also folk songs.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My greatest strength is my understanding of the overall picture in music. I can play many instruments and adapt accordingly.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I believe I add another dimension to the songs I contribute to. At least, that is my driving force.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I familiarize myself with the material and find it easy to play by ear. Reading sheet music is not my strong suit :) I am meticulous about ensuring the material is well-recorded, which makes mixing easier to handle.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I use professional equipment but believe that you can achieve a lot with simplicity, as long as you can handle and understand the music. I frequently use a Universal Audio 6176 preamp/compressor, a Gibson J-45, and a Nord Stage 3. I record in Studio One, Logic, and Pro Tools. I have extensive experience in studio work.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I like all types of music, really. However, I am most drawn to the simple and mysterious, and those that have a slightly melancholic core.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I often get to play piano on other people's songs, both live and in the studio. I also have a strong love for the guitar, especially the acoustic guitar. A few years ago, I bought a beautiful Gibson J-45 guitar, which I use frequently.
