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.

Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is being able to combine professional mixing knowledge, with the trained ear of an artist, in order to guide mixes into being not only clean, but creative.

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.
Q: What's your typical work process?
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.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
