Felix Herbst on SoundBetter

Credits: Metro Boomin, Future, Oddisee, Said The Sky, Broadway Records. Stunning and creative string arrangements across a wide array of genres. Whether you need a lush symphonic sound, added sparkle and grit on a hip hop track, a fiddle solo, or that added element to bring your song to life, let's work together!

Every song is unique, so I do not specify a set number of layers, tracks, takes, or hourly commitment for my work. Instead, I tailor my arrangements and quotes to the specific project and client I'm working with. Please send me your demo and your thoughts, ideas, and vision for it. Let's chat, and figure out exactly what the music needs.

I am a classically and jazz-trained violinist with 10+ years of recording and arranging experience across many genres. I own many string instruments and enjoy remote composing/producing/recording even more than live studio sessions, since I get to sit with the music longer and experiment until I discover the ideal contribution to the song. Please see my spotify link or website for selected discography.

I record on a Beyerdynamic M160/condenser combination depending on the desired sound, and own multiple instruments to layer for a more lush section vibe if needed. I'm very flexible with edits so if you'd like small changes, multiple layers, etc. just let me know and we can discuss adjustments. Typically, I work to a demo and enjoy speaking to the artist about the overall vision for the song before I get to work. Looking forward to working with you.

Note: happy to do rush turnarounds as well, just depends on the weekly schedule! Let me know if you need this. I can also be flexible on rate if you would prefer to do pub or master splits.

Contact me through the green button above and let's get to work.

    Felix was easy to work with, quick, and super professional. I sent my guitar and vocal files to him and he crafted a beautiful string arrangement for my song. I'm very happy and intend to work with him again soon!

    Hiring Felix was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He played our ceremony music and cocktail hour, and was absolutely magical. Guests were coming up to us all afternoon raving about his music. He was very responsive, and able to learn to play certain songs that meant the most to us. We were so blown away by his talent, and it really created such a wonderful experience on our wedding day.
