Sound Design to Mix & Master

Michał Kołowacik on SoundBetter

As far as references can show the known way, it is important to know when to go further. My job is to navigate between the borders of what is solid foundation and new ground to explore. Combining known techniques with exploration is my way.

I am Michał Kołowacik, sound engineer & designer with experience on both sides of the mixing desk, either live or studio. In 2021 I have established Anturium.Studio sound gallery, focused on sound design, libraries, mix and mastering services.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

  9. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  10. A: I love the mix of so many areas, such as engineering, creativity, artistic sensibility and taste. The variety of possibilities and creating musical work that is somehow intangible

  11. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  12. A: I started my career in the year 2011 as a Live Sound Engineer in my hometown community centre. In parallel I began music production as Echo Deal, making music for rappers and singers.

  17. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  18. A: It is very important to put a song into a certain environment and to use a natural reverb. That's why I put effort in using air and space. Also, I love to use elements from the background to give a certain taste

  19. Q: What's your typical work process?

  20. A: First I get the idea of sound picture - what gives the emotional impact and what would support leading parts. Then I select tools and start exploration to emphasize the most important elements and make the other ones specified in the context. Next step is to mix up classical techniques with ones that I made up during the "messing around". These parts are permeating and mixing with each other - often I get back to the start to verify my steps and find the best solution.

  21. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  22. A: Every level of Sound Engineering, Mixing & Mastering, Sound Design, Music Production, Restoration
