Daniil on SoundBetter

Specializing in Mixing Rap / Trip / R&B / Neodisco / EDM / trip-hop / Poprock.

Welcome to my Sound Better page.

I've been doing mixing and mastering for over 6 years now. I've worked with famous artists of Russia Мак "Сима Мгла", "Sweety gang boy", "Leleyati", "Tyler Deshwan", "fxfictoria", "Goldtbk", "U-sky" and so on. I find an approach to each artist, so guys from previous studios where I worked, came to me and continued to create with me. Trust me!!! I was working with a rapper with sclerosis, which is a different approach.
Now I have my own commercial studio in Moscow, Imagination Club, where I and my team turn the artist's ideas into songs.
The mixing takes more than 3 days, I rely on your references and wishes, and with your permission I add a little bit of myself into the mix :)

In addition to mixing, I offer audio editing and vocal tuning services
