Edward Shemansky on SoundBetter

No awards, or impressive career to see here. If you like what you hear message me.

I've had the opportunity to work with and also watch a lot of great people like George Tobin, Matt Serletic, Jean-Marie Horvat, Noel Golden, and Niel Citron in my career as a recording artist. In 2005 my audio engineering career started when a drum session client/studio owner asked me to mix my own drum tracks. After that, I worked out of a studio in North Hills CA and was there until 2018. Currently, I work out of my own small studio in Valley Village, CA.

Endorse Edward Shemansky

by Mark Knight
I’ve used Edwards skills and talent in many ways on a lot of projects. Rather it’s for mixing, recording, or drumming he has alway come through! He has a talent for bringing the best out of the artist with crystal clear high quality mixes to great recording skills. We’ve co produced some projects together as well as our recent record Mark Knight & The Unsung Heroes “Don’t Kill The Cat”. Give it a listen to hear his amazing mix abilities and drumming..

Interview with Edward Shemansky

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I'll never quit on your song, even if I have to start over. I don't limit the client's notes or feedback on their mixes.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started off as a recording artist with a band called Kicking Harold in the '90s. I've gradually made my switch to the other side of the mic - using all the knowledge I've picked up along the way.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: When I'm mixing, I love to pump emotion and excitement to a song. When I'm producing or arranging, I like to make sure that there's nothing taking away from the song's emotion/message.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I spend some time before the mix to make sure everything is clean, lined up and in tune if that's needed. Then, it's a few hours to get the mix going, a forced break away from that song, and then finishing up the loose ends. I'm usually done within 3 hours.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What do you listen to, and what do you want your mix to sound like? Also - what mood do you want to set?
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I mix in a small 13' x 13' heavily treated room. I run ADAM A5Xs and Yamaha NS-10 Studio monitors. My Sub is an M-Audio BX10. My main machine is a 32 processor Dell T7600 where I run Cakewalk. I also run ProTools on a Mac Pro - mostly just to convert and consolidate audio before mixing in Cakewalk.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: We will always need both. There's no "or".
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Rock, Reggae, Rap, R & B, Pop, & Alternative.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Working with music, and creative people.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I'm always listening to the latest and greatest to keep up with trends. Modern.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I mostly mix music, but I also produce locally, and I still do drum sessions and live gigs in the Los Angeles area.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Mark Knight and the Unsung Heroes new album - production, drums, mixing and mastering. Maybe some BGs as well.
