I have produced, mixed, mastered audio for games as well as music. Educational background in Audio Engineering which I took at OIART in London, Ontario. I have personal experience interning at one of Canada's largest studios, The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, BC which is owned by Bryan Adams.

I use a wide range of different DAWs including Pro Tools, Ableton Live, DSP-Quattro for mastering.

I have a fully treated room with bass traps, professional studio monitors and a wide range of hardware and software.

I can offer a wide range of different skills for your job including:

- audio restoration
- sound design for games & film
- synth programming

Any other jobs needed that aren't listed which require audio, I'm likely able to perform.

Interview with Bryan Spratt

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I use a pair of Adam A7s, along with custom built speaker stands (which I built, and are even stand filled to absorb vibrations!), Sennheiser HD650s with a dedicated headphone amp. A SubPac S1, which is a great reference to feel da bass! Literally if you don't have one of these get one now! It feels and sounds like you have a club PA strapped to your back! My audio interface is a Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56. My room is also treated with bass traps.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Getting better at piano, along with music theory. Eventually start producing more music.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both if you can. Best of both worlds.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I will make your song awesome.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Playing with new plugins, and experimenting with them on new material.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That I only make the song louder.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Be organized, don't send unlabeled wav files, etc. It looks unprofessional and is a horrible start.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My Studiologic SL-880 controller, Sennheiser HD650s, my Hackintosh, SubPac S1 (whats life without feeling the bass?) and my Herman Miller Aeron chair (gotta be comfortable right?).
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: EDM, since it's the genre I produce myself.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Making my own custom sounds, drums, synths, etc.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I love to experiment, do something new and original. To me a great mix should stand out ahead, and be a creative process.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Always organizing the sessions first. Once organized, it all depends on the track. I personally like to start with drums first for my own music, and work way way up to bass, synths, then vocals.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I took audio engineering at OIART for a year, and have been producing/mixing/mastering my own work since then. Going on close to 8+ years.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Timbaland - he is what got me inspired to start producing beats. Wolfgang Gartner - simply to learn his production techniques, designing his crunchy drums, etc. Martin Garrix - to pick at his brain on how he comes up with his catchy melodies. Skrillex - well, he just seems like a fun guy to hang out with.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: For EDM, Wolfgang Gartner. His work ethnic is very inspiring, from designing all drum sounds, synths, etc.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Mixing & mastering for a wide range of genres.
