Joshua on SoundBetter

Creating One of a Kind Mixes -I don't use a template because I believe every mix should be special

I can produce your tracks to be radio ready, taking it from a demo to a unique publishable finished product. Going on 7 years of being dedicated to the art of mixing and producing, I guarantee my result to sound major label. I'm also capable of re-tracking parts for guitars, bass, and drums in my own studio if needed. I will work on the track until I feel there's no more room for improvement.
I specialize in pop rock, alternative rock, indie and hip hop.
My mixing style is inspired by The 1975, Twenty One Pilots, The Band Camino, Valley.

Josh is a super down to earth dude that’s a joy to be around. He’s super passionate about all the music he puts his heart into and has an ever growing hunger to help other musicians find their best sound for the projects. He’s invested in tons of great equipment and software, too in order to be sure you’ll be ecstatic with the final product!

Joshua Davenport, is amazing at what he does and great work with. I honestly can say as important as it is to have an engineer/editor/producer/mixer/masterer that knows what they’re doing. It’s easily, if not more important to have someone who is willing to invest themselves in the relationship side of things. Joshua is both of those things.
by Roger Ploch
Joshua is very professional and knowledgeable about everything production wise, and engineering. I can assure anyone that if there is a sound that you want, he will be able to find it. I can promise you won’t be disappointed if you use Joshua

A: Trying to finish my own album at the moment, experimenting with drum sounds and guitar tones.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Yes, Alex Maglione. Great guy and great mixing engineer, I worked with him awhile back and was very pleasant experience.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: analog, I feel more aware of what I'm doing if I physically have to adjust compressors and or eq's
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Absolute satisfaction, I will revise until you are happy at no charge.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I get to listen to music all day, and play with toys.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Ive been asked if I can get it done sooner quite often, sometimes it takes me longer to complete a mix, I'm a perfectionist and I won't give you something I feel isn't 100%.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That its easy.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Are you confident the song is ready to be mixed, really the only question I think needs answered.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Don't hire a mixing engineer based on what gear he's using or who they say they've worked with. listen to work they've done and then decide.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My Mac, a Stratocaster, a pair of headphones, a midi controller and any interface. I can make an entire record with that.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: The Band Camino, they sound killer that's why, and they're awesome guys.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Focus on the song and not the fancy gear, some of the biggest hits right now were made on a laptop in a hotel room or bus, You don't need 100,000$ worth of stuff to make a hit.

A: I'm running latest protools, using HS8's as mains and avantones as secondary monitors, have too many plugins to choose from. running analogue 1776's and Pultes with some other cool tape and analogue toys for real flavor, I tend to work out of the box as much as I can, I feel more connected to the music that way.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: The 1975 BIG TIME.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Mixing, producing and tracking.
