Apricot Studio on SoundBetter

Offering a full production shop from my studio in the UK. I've worked as a Music Producer and Mixing and Mastering engineer for 10 years and have produced hundreds of songs worldwide, specialising in Pop genres. I offer fast service and aim to get the best out of you and your music!

I have an experienced ear and can create rich masters with depth and clarity. Music is supposed to trigger an emotional response and I believe this should be reflected heavily within a mix to stand out.

Then I will make a draft version and discuss with the client if they are happy with the direction. Then we can make any changes and improvements to complete the song. At this stage, working online, the client will record their final vocals and I will mix and master ready for release.
