Jack Rouben on SoundBetter

I've mixed #1 hits on Billboard charts across multiple genres including Pop, R&B, and Jazz, as well as the biggest-selling Disco single of all time according to Guinness World Records

I began my career at the legendary Sunset Sound Studios when music was recorded on analog tape using tube equipment. Today, I work entirely ‘in the box’ with Pro Tools, using the most sophisticated plug-ins capable of creating any sonic landscape imaginable. Over the years, I’ve worked on hundreds of projects, recording and mixing diverse music styles--from classic Funk to film scores, and everything in between. If you value this depth of experience and are curious about what's possible, let me help you maximize the potential of your music.

    I had a song mixed by Jack and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He has a great ear, communicates quickly, makes sure you’re happy, and makes a superb mix. He is also really nice and has very reasonable rates for someone with his level of experience. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate, Jack is great!

    Jack's in depth knowledge, years of experience, skill and musical taste is impeccable. His mix took my track where I wanted it to go and then some. Easy to work with, communicative and responsive. I can highly recommend Jack!

    Jack is great at taking a bunch of parts that sound good on their own and making them sound amazing together. He's as professional as they come, and working with him is always a pleasure!

    Another great mix from Jack. He has clearly worked on the individual sounds to ensure they can find their true space in the mix. The track has found an energy I had not heard before. This mix is first class.

    The quality of Jack's mixes shows that he enjoys his work. His mixes demonstate that he listens to the music, interprets the brief and translates this into a mix to your liking. Another top job. Many thanks.

    Jack is so thoughtful and makes the entire process so straightforward. This was my first time recording my own work, and I needed some guidance to make it just right. Rather than dismiss me, Jack helped me understand what I needed to do to set him up for success. The result? Incredible mixes and a wonderful experience. I'm so grateful for his patience and willingness to collaborate!

    ...and again a great mix by Jack. His work with live drums as well as programmed drums are equally impressive. It was pleasing to hear him work with a more delicate sound and with a song that required a different approach. I will be returning for more of Jack's mixes. Thank you!

    Another amazing job done from Jack. He treated the 13 piano solo songs with respect and professionalism, polishing them to the highest standard. I look forward to working with him on my next projects!
