Matt delivers mixes that sound massive, explosive, and larger than life. Every section of your song gets the attention it deserves with tone, texture, and attitude to create a professional, cohesive final product that represents your music and defines your project's sound.
With nearly 20 years of experience, Matt specializes in recording, mixing, mastering, and production for rock, indie, metal, punk, hardcore, as well as singer-songwriter, folk, acoustic, a cappella, and noise artists. Whether you’re working with a full band or a single mic in your bedroom, the goal is the same: to elevate your sound without compromising its identity.
Matt's approach blends old-school analog gear with modern techniques, always prioritizing the source: real mood, attitude, and emotion. His studio, Very Tight Recordings (est. 2006), has served artists from DIY scenes to major labels, but the commitment to the music never changes.
It’s not just about the gear, it’s about respecting the people, the art, and the sound. With open communication and a hands-on approach, Matt works closely with you to make sure your vision is fully realized. No cutting corners. No nonsense. Real commitment. Real work.

Endorse Matt Very
check_circleVerifiedI've worked with Matt a few times now for mastering, and each time has been fantastic. An absolute pleasure to work with, fast turnaround, great ear and detailed feedback on how to get the absolute most out of my tracks. Can't recommend him enough.

Matt is an absolute pleasure to work with, giving both detailed feedback, as well a finished project we were both happy with. A perfect experience all around.
I've been recording with Matt for a couple of years now, and I can't recommend him enough. He's actively involved in every part of the recording process, offering input and expertise as much as possible. My instrument (drums) always sound phenomenal. I've never heard a bad record come out of his studio. Strongly recommend.
I can’t recommend Matt enough. He’s the real deal, and a pleasure to work with. I’ve been recording drums with him years, and every mix comes back sounds tight and crisp. You’ll love the way you’ll sound!
I wouldn’t have a music career if not for Matt Very. He’s the first professional I ever met in the music biz 5 years ago, and I’ve been tracking with him ever since. You will not find a producer/engineer more reliable, dedicated, cost-efficient, sensible, and brilliant at their craft than Matt.

I am as clear as possible with what I charge and how much a project will run you. Everything is communicated upfront so we can avoid any "hidden" or unexpected costs.
