Recording | Mixing | Mastering
I own a small studio (Silent Street Recordings) based in Poland, where I work as an composer, mixing engineer, producer and sound designer. My musical experience focuses on pop-rock, hardrock, metal music gneres.

I love to work with various artists - it doesn't matter if it's your first song or you're already a legend.
I can provide top quality :
- mixing and mastering,
- instrument tracking - drums (programmed or "live"), guitar/bass (reamping, DI's)
- sound design - FX (for YT channels, game, trailers, commercials, etc.)

Don't hesitate to contact me!

The most perfect ear that will produce the expected rot!!!
During the recording session, it was constructive! He gave a lot of tips which all bring the whole recording shit to the highest level into the sick coffin sound !!!
Strongly recommend!

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I'll do my best to get you a tracks that you're fully satisfied with. I'm aware it's your music and you want it to sound as good as it's possible so for me your satisfaction is more valuable than money.

A: Metallica. Because I love their music and just can't stand the sound of their last production.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Usually I work on heavy sounds - from pop-rock (Avril Lavigne, Blink 182 style) to technical Death Metal. I'm also a musician playing with different bands so rock/metal gneres are no secrets for me.
