Derek Hoiem on SoundBetter

I have worked with everyone from Allen Stone, Color Me Badd, Stacie Orrico, Byron "Mr. Talkbox" Chambers (Bruno Mars "24k Magic"), Jeremy Rosado (American Idol), Je'kob, Brandon Bee, Xola Malik aka Kidd Sensation (Nastymix Records), and more. I am a mixing and mastering engineer and I've been the executive producer for dozens of projects.

My studio is located in the "Silicon Forest" of Seattle, just a stone's throw from the Microsoft and Google campuses. I use a best-in-class SSL front end for digital conversion and a Dangerous summing bus or SSL G console for analog-kissed mix downs. For speed and the budget-conscious, we use our large collection of Universal Audio plug-ins exclusively, including Apex tape emulations. Or when using the SSL G, we can mixdown either just your "stems" or your entire project with every single track through the analog console. So, we combine the best "in the box" and "out of box" worlds together for sound that's natural and that sounds like YOU. My main aim is to give you the best possible sound for you. I work with all software platforms including Pro-Tools, Cubase, Logic, Ableton and more.
