Glenn MacRae on SoundBetter

Producer/mixer and songwriter trusted by Nickelodeon, Netflix, A&E, and many indie pop and rap artists. Millions of happy ears have heard my work - how can I help you?

I can take a voice note and turn it into a banger.

In other words, I can take a basic idea and flesh it out into something that is industry standard quality.
I believe that mixing and production need to follow the song, arrangement, and performance.
The song is the foundation and while I am happy to mix your song, I am a versatile producer so you might come to me a mix/master, but I will provide feedback and suggestions on how to improve the song.

I can't wait to hear from you and start working. Reach out and let me know about your project by clicking the the green Contact button - let's work!
