Are you tired of sterile, personality-less mixes? Are you looking to stand out with an original mix that has character and « French Touch »? You’ve come to the right place!
My name is Damny, a musician and producer. I have toured around the world for over 20 years with my band and alongside major artists like Manu Chao and Calypso Rose.
I have produced and mixed over 1000 tracks, including for numerous TV series, films, video games, and commercials, a preview of which you can find here: https://shorturl.at/qxOuz
I have also mixed for many artists, check my Soundbetter player!
My main genres are Electronic Music, Hip Hop and Pop music in general.
I use a powerful hybrid setup of analog and digital processing, my workstations are Studio 1, Ableton Live, Logic Pro and Harrison Mixbus Pro
I have spent countless hours selecting the right plugins to correspond to my tastes in order to bring my own signature sound into the mixes.
The most important thing for me is your project, the essence and vision of your song. I am here to push it to the next level, bring it some attitude and personality.
My years touring on the roads and in the studio have forged my sensibility and opened my mind to many different genres of music. To me there are no rules apart from following what was the inspiration to your music.
My engineering services include Mixing, Vocal Tuning, Editing and Recording.
Let me work my magic to turn your title into its best version

Interview with Damny "hdrwork"
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Last year I have worked closely with a talented duo of brothers named Elephanz as arranger and mixer and I am very proud of the direction and sound we have found together.

A: Lots of different projects, mainly singles as nowadays people are releasing more singles than entire album. 2025 has already started with many orders and a great agenda.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Clients usually ask for deadlines, sometimes edit versions etc...I am dedicated to my job and clients so my answer is always positive
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: A great mix will come with a great song and mixing is not reinventing it with a magic wheel. think it's when some artists dont really trust their music especially with bands when people are not looking in the same direction.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I generally ask few technical questions like how they recorded he track, sample rate format etc...
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Macbook pro, Audeze Headphones, a good soundcard and my Focal monitors. Ah and a great book to rest my ears:)
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been into music buisness for more than 25 years and lucky enough to make a living with my music. For more than 15 years I have toured in many countries and recorded a lots of record as a musician. That's how I learned the technical and production skills for my job as a mixing engineer
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is punchy, nervous but emotional
Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: I usually work on electronic music or pop with both acoustic and electronic elements.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I think its being a musician first.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring movement and colours, I enhance the emotion of. the song.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I listen to the demo first because there is already lots of essential informations in the client demo. I then import the audio stems and organise files with my personal template. Then I clean few audio files and solve any issues if there are any. After these important steps, I jump into the mix with my ears and my heart, between a few hours I always have a good picture of what the mix should sound like. Then it's more a matter of tweaking details and going back and forth with the client to finish the work.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a pretty cool and clean studio setup with a Mac M2 and an Apollo soundcard as the central piece and a bunch of very good peripherals. My most important gear are my monitors which I know very very well.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I mostly compose, arrange and mix for my clients. And I also listen a lot to what they want.
