Gregory Michael Stewart on SoundBetter

Self taught musician, vocalist, song writer and mixer and mastering. I will do my best to make your music sound great at a low price.

I know what it's like for struggling bands and musicians. I'm not here to break your bank account. I can point you to examples of music I've mixed so you can hear what I can provide and decide if I'm you what you need. I have a full-time job but work from home in the evenings and weekends in mixing and mastering. It's something I love to do. Be clear and concise of what you need and I'll try to make it happen.

Please make sure your tracks are recorded properly. It helps with getting the job done in a timely manner and ultimately makes for a great sounding mix.
As of now my computer can only handle around 30 tracks (it needs an upgrade) so if you have more than that I won't be able to handle it.

I look forward to working with you!

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

A: My album. I did the whole thing. Played and recorded all the instruments. I did vocal for all the songs and mixed and mastered the entire album. Although I'm much better at mixing than I was back then I' don't think I would change a thing about the way I mixed it even though I was very inexperienced at the time.
