Mark is a joy to work with! He delivers quality results by utilizing his expertise in engineering to bring out the best in your record.
I was very happy we chose to work with Andermont. Mark was patient, creative and essential while we were both writing our songs mixing them. He connected and took to heart the sound we wanted, while providing great inputs and ideas. Love how the songs turned out.
Mark from Andermont Studios made my music sound great! He really helped my vocals get to the place I wanted them to be. Without his knowledge of vocal tuning, my track would have sounded a lot flatter.
Working with Mark and Anderson Studios was a great decision. I sent in an EP and recieved professional sounding tracks in no time at all. Mark also doesn't mind helping add any layers or extra instrumentation when requested. He also made sure to communicate any thoughts he had to help shape the music. I would 100% recommend Anderson Studios to any artist!
Andermont Studios is fantastic, and Mark is an incredibly talented audio engineer. I have worked with Mark on multiple occasions and have consistently been blown away by the quality of his work. Every time he’s worked on my music, he’s brought it to life in a new and dynamic way, making it sound professionally engineered and ready for prime time. I wouldn’t trust my songs to any other engineer.
My experience with Andermont studios was one that left me feeling comfortable, inspired and confident in my studio work as a vocalist. I would definitely work with Mark again and have nothing but fond memories of our session. Thank you, Mark for being part of my journey in recording the Adele song, “Someone Like You” with Mariah!
Interview with Andermont Studios
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I am especially proud of the Sleeping Bear EP I worked on with WeAreTheSea. I loved the way the collaboration went, how the synth, drum, and guitar sounds turned out, and how the production became better as we worked together. I was a mixing engineer, producer, and musician on the project.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am currently producing instrumentals for things like podcasts and YouTube videos.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Not at the moment.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. Analog because there's something unexplainably satisfying about physical parts. Digital because it takes up less space, and is sometimes cheaper. If the sound difference between analog and digital is so minuscule, I'll opt for digital.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: You'll have an "ah-ha" moment when you hear the finished product. If you don't, I want to work together to understand what I missed and how I can make it better.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The gratification of turning raw products into something polished. Making things sound better.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Q: "Can you make me sound louder?" A: "Thanks for pointing out that your instrument needs clarity. I'll fix it!"
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That I can fix any and all problems with a poor recording. If you get it right at the source (the recording), everything will be faster and easier.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Can you share a band or song you love? What do you like about their sound? What are your goals with music overall?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Don't be afraid to ask questions up front to get all of the information you need to make an informed decision when hiring a provider. It can be hard to put sounds into words, but try your best!
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My laptop, hand-built MicParts T-47 condenser mic, Scarlett 2i2 audio interface, KRK Roket 5 monitors, and Arturia MiniLab II controller
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been doing this for about 9 years. I took a few classes in-person in Seattle on mixing and recording, apprenticed with a audio engineer co-worker who I became friends with in the aviation industry, and have also done a handful of online courses. I started getting into freelancing in 2015, and have continued trying to get more into it this year in 2024.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I like to make stuff feel like you can bang your head to it. Punchy drums, loud guitars, a nice overall crunchiness.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Tycho - I love their sound aesthetic and have been hooked on them for the past 10 years. Their mix of electronic and acoustic instruments just works. They also don't always have vocals which I appreciate, because lyrics aren't huge for me in music.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Being a 'gear slut' can stall your productivity. Find products that work for you, and if you like the sound, use it. Shiny object syndrome is so easy to fall to, especially in this industry where the technology is constantly changing. It's ok to keep up with the tech, but jut be mindful of if it's affecting your productivity goals as a musician.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Usually anything in the rock genre, but I also like pop, singer-songwriter, and electronic/IDM.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Being empathetic to my client's goals, but also offering to guide them when it seems like they need help.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: The "ah-ha" moment of satisfaction for the client when they finally hear their song as a finished product that they're satisfied with. Here are some testimonials I've gotten in the past: "OMFG! It sounds soooo good!!" "This sounds badass man! I love it." "I really dig it Mark. You did a really great job! I'm glad you fixed the timing issues/volume spiking."
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: 1. Establish a good relationship with my client 2. Import their tracks into my DAW 3. Organize the project tracks - group like instruments, group by colors, make track stacks, bussing, etc. 4. Edit or comp tracks if needed 5. Adjust gain - bring up track gain if way too quiet 6. Rough mix - balance out instruments with faders, adjust panning 7. EQ 8. Compression 9. Spacial effects - delay, reverb, etc. 10. Ear candy - automation, special effects, anything specific the client wants to hear 11. Bounce and send to client for revisions 12. Make changes to mix from revision requests 13. Repeat revision process as necessary from contract agreement 14. Final bounce 15. Retrospective at end of project with client for feedback
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work entirely in the box. Here's an overview of my gear: -Rokit KRK 5s -Scarlett 2i2 -Macbook Air -Logic Pro DAW -I use a lot of different plugins, but my favorites are Waves analog emulators like the NLS Channel.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Mikael "Count" Eldridge, Eddie Kramer, Andrew Schepps, Andy Johns, Trent Reznor, Joe Barresi
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
