Tristan T Roberts on SoundBetter

Ive worked with Jelly Roll, Atlus, Mikey Mike, and many more artists. RIAA certified gold and platinum. I make things sound top tier, but most of all I make it sound how you want it. It is your song and I am just here to get you closer to the vision!

Born and raised in Nashville, TN. I am an audio engineer that has been in the industry engineering and producing for over 10 years. I am RIAA certified gold and platinum.

I offer a very communicative process for each service I offer. I want to help you create the best project possible but want it to be what YOUR vision is not mine. My mastering process includes mix notes to make the mastering process the best it can be. It isn’t required but super helpful for those that have access to mix files.

I look forward to working with you all.

Sent a track to Tristan.. he said he would master it no problem.. but had some suggestions. ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR MASTERING ENGINEER WHEN THEY GIVE YOU SUGGESTIONS NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR BIG!!!

His subtle suggestions made the mix better, and he returned to me a high quality mastered track. Sounds great. Client is very happy with the work, and will be returning for future mastering sessions.

Tristan mixed and mastered my songs. Here are some of the reasons why I think Tristan is a wonderful person to work with, and why I'll continue doing business with him and referring him to others:

•He's a very responsive communicator, never leaving me waiting
•He shows care for what he does. Quality is important to him, and he's great at what he does.
•Along with showing care, he's a great listener and makes me feel understood. My ideas feel respected (except when it comes to using formant shift on lead vocals LOL jk jk)
•His pricing is BEYOND fair for the quality that he provides.

Tristan really brought out the best in my track. His feedback between mixes is very constructive and he did a fantastic job adjusting to my needs. Would recommend!

Tristan worked with me on an album and exceeded all of my expectations. Tristan is the man for any music job!

Tristan T. Roberts is the only engineer you should ever be working with. He has on multiple occasions made my podcast sound like a top 10 show, has done work for my own team, and has a level of professionalism you rarely find.
by David Cnik
So, this man has gone above and beyond in every aspect of helping me along my music career. To say this is an understatement even. I met him in a Facebook group originally, and of course my hopes weren't very high coming from such a bad platform for music. But he overachieved 100 fold and overdelivered in every category. I now consider him a best friend and a brother. He has the perfect level of professionalism, as well as is exceptional at making you feel feel like family. i will be continuing my work with him for years to come and i promise anyone else who books him will feel the same.

Tristan is the most experience audio engineer I have ever met. He does a wonderful job mixing and mastering my songs and beats. His price is high, but it’s worth spending. He makes sure his customers are satisfied with their songs/beats. He mixed and masters any song/beat for any genre.

Great communication and friendliness is essential in any industry— Tristan Roberts has been wonderful to work with, both for me as a fellow music producer/audio engineer AND for my clients, who I’ve referred to him. Tristan is very skilled, diligent and efficient at what he does. He’s worked with many great artists, and there’s a reason why people keep coming back to him. 10/10 recommend Tristan Roberts for anyone’s audio needs.
by Raven Mabbitt
Tristan execute high quality mixes and masters, he’s done all my work this far and have always seen good results! His mixes got me 2 record deals and he continues to set the bar higher every time. If you want high quality work done to your tracks he your guy. I don’t trust anyone else to handle my music.

Interview with Tristan T Roberts

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: A Beautiful Disaster - Jelly Roll. This album reached multiple points on the Billboard charts and it is one of the coolest records I have worked on so far. I was the recording engineer on this project. My favorite mix I have done will be listed on my profile called Somebody To Love by YEARLOVE
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: A little of both doesn't hurt does it? I mix in the box mostly, BUT I do recordings as analog as possible. Outboard compressors, preamps, reverbs, and whatever else I can get my hands on. I also have a mastering studio I use for analog mastering upon request (I fully recommend using analog gear when possible)
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What do you want to sound like as an artist? Are you wanting to perform at festivals or large stadiums? Where did your last song go wrong and how are you hoping to do better?
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I promise that you will love the mix by the time we are done working together.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love being able to make music and to help others succeed. My biggest thing is seeing someone's song do well and I am 100% here to see that happen. Your success makes me happy.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: My advice to any and all artists looking to hire me is to not be afraid to ask questions and to tell me what sucks on the revisions. At the end of the guy I am here for YOU. Do NOT let anything stand in the way of your song getting recorded or mixed properly and I will take care of the song and of you.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Neumann U47 FET, Antelope Orion 32+, Computer (Obviously), BAE 1073, 64audio in-ear monitors. I'll make it happen!
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been in the music industry for over 10 years now. I produced my first artist at 15 and before then had been recording and mixing myself. I have been full time since 2019 thankfully and plan to remain there!
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is really whatever style you want it to be... I mix to please, but I record and mix to make things..wait for it.. Sound Better. If your music doesn't sound better than what the other guys have been doing for your song then I am not satisfied.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I got asked this question and I really don't have any artists specifically I would want to work with, but really there are no artists I wouldn't work with. I wouldn't mind working with any of the top 10 Billboard artists to start, but there is nothing like showing a newcomer to the music industry their song after the recording process. The look on their face after they hear their "baby" for the first time there is just something beautiful about that moment. They created something beautiful and I am 100% sold on that feeling.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Don't overthink it. Take a step back and take a day off to listen back to your song. We are never done working on a song we just stop and let it go.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I do a lot of Hip Hop work, but I am very passionate about Rock music, and love to work on other genres and works.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a home studio setup that I use most of the time, but if the budget of the project allows it I will rent out a studio per artists request.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Manny Marroquin, Chris Lord-Alge, and Jaquire King, are going to be my biggest inspirations for recording and mixing.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I do quite a bit of recording, but mixing is my biggest passion and I find it to be one of my talents.
