Michael Goldchain is a music producer &. composer who's music has gathered over 78 million streams across online streaming services & has been featured on Billboard, Apple Music Beats1 Radio, BBC1 Radio & Spotify's Global Viral 50 chart.

Hey! I'm a Producer, Audio Engineer & Vocal Producer who specializes in a wide range of genres spanning Pop, R&B, Hip Hop, Indie/Folk, Rock, K-Pop, and Country. I also compose music for TV & advertising with select commercial clients including Google, McDonald's, PepsiCo, Lexus, INFINITI, Toyota, Mistubishi, Kia, Tinder, Questrade, Best Buy etc. and TV series including My Little Pony and Monster High. My strength is my versatility and ability to dive into any genre, which I've developed through working with a vast roster of differing artists and countless commercial projects.

I specialize in taking your song and turning it into a commercial, release-ready product. I am comfortable stepping in at any point in the creative process, from full production from the ground up, to simply bringing a song across the finish line. I only work on fully written songs at this point, and don't co-writing.

SERVICES I OFFER:
MUSIC PRODUCTION from the ground up based on your references.
VOCAL PRODUCTION
MIXING & MASTERING

Feel free to reach out to me about your project (big or small) and I'll do my best to answer any questions you have!

    Michael is very patient, fast and talented. I listened to his mix for another artist and was blown away by how modern, balanced and unique it sounded! Having experience with mixing & mastering myself, I was in awe of the technical and sonic flourishes included in the record, quickly contacted him and am happy I did.

    I had struggled to get one of my record's mixed by others and doubted that it would ever be complete but after having given it to Michael, he brought my song to life and I am grateful for the experience. I highly recommend him (and within any genre)!

Interview with Michael Goldchain

  1. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  2. A: My strongest skill is my ear. The one biggest skill I have learned through my career as a live musician and music producer is how to listen. Without that, I would have nothing! Through listening I can hear, feel, analyze, and imagine both where a song is, and where it should go. After that I would say it's the 20 years of education as a piano player in both classical and jazz, and my 10 years of experience in music production :)

  3. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  4. A: Through over 10 years of education and experience as both a live musician as well as music producer, I have learned that the most important elements of modern music are vibe, movement, and balance. I want music to make you feel, make you move, and feel alive!

  5. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  6. A: Working from my studio in the heart of downtown Toronto, I work in a treated room with a pair of Focal Twin6 Studio Monitors, a Universal Audio Apollo 16 audio interface, and a 2019 Macbook Pro, equipped with Logic Pro X, Pro Tools 10, and Ableton 10 running advanced VSTs including Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2, Native Instruments Komplete 12, Izotope Neutron 2, Ozone 8, and RX 7. I also have a Dave Smith Prophet 12 synthesizer, Nord Stage 2 digital piano, KRK Rokit 5 studio monitors, and Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones.

  7. Q: What's your typical work process?

  8. A: When mixing and mastering, I start by organizing my session; grouping instruments, creating busses and colour coding all tracks. I will send an initial mix/master and then accept notes on revisions which I will then implement into the session. My turnover rate is fast and I am flexible with notes. Production is very similar, I'll either start with an idea or work off one that is given to me and then build and arrange the song.

  9. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  10. A: Most of the work I do is production, mixing, and mastering although I also occasionally do composition for advertising, film and television.
