Expanding on YOUR vision, to create a listening experience tailored to YOUR preferences!

I’m drewtyrell, artist/engineer/producer from Harrisburg, PA. At 27 years old, I’ve been creating music for 8 years and I am co-owner of my own music studio ‘Sound.wav Studios’. I began engineering for myself, and I now work with a variety of local artists.

You can check out some samples of my work here on Soundbetter. If you enjoy what you hear, we can discuss your project to see if we're a good fit to work together. I'll work and communicate closely with you to get exactly what you want. It is my passion to help others achieve at the highest level.

If you choose to work with me, please send me your tracks to mix, along with any notes and details about the songs, what they mean to you, the emotion you're conveying, the mood of the project, etc, and maybe a rough mix and examples of other artists and songs that represent what you're about.

  30. A: I bring clarity, as well as taste, to a song by determining what element of the songs makes it unique, and striving to make that element stand out.

  31. Q: What's your typical work process?

  32. A: I start things by applying pitch correction software to any vocals that need it, in order to create a pleasant harmonic field. I then proceed with a combination of compression and eq application. The goal here is a reach a certain of vocal control, and well as overall clarity. Buses are used to apply these principals at different stages in the mix, and in varying amounts. Once a clean sound it achieved, my attention turns to creating atmosphere. The use of reverb, delays, chorus effects, and stereo imaging software help to creat that atmosphere.
