EMG Audio on SoundBetter

Are you ready to take your songs to the next level?

My name is Erick Goin, I'm a recording engineer/ producer based out of Seattle, Washington. My background in production started when I was in high school. At the time I was playing in bands and I wanted to record demos of the songs we had written. From there my fascination with the production world expanded to working with other artists. Currently, I specialize in full production, mixing, and mastering for Rock and Metal. I am however not limited to just those two genres. If you're interested in working with me feel free to contact me.

Interview with EMG Audio

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: My band Orator recently released a live version of our album “Kallipolis” that we recorded while on our last tour in support of that album. My role on that project aside from playing bass live, was to do the mixing and mastering. It was a fun challenge to take our raw performance and turn it into a polished product.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I’m working on writing an album for my band Antitheus.
Q: Analog or digital and why?

Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The thing I really enjoy about my job is being the guy that helps an artist bring their art and vision to life.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
