Hi,
Welcome to my Soundbetter page. I'm here to help you achieve the best possible results for your music. I am a music producer and writer at my core, but I also engineer and mix/master.
The song comes first not my ego...because I produce I understand how to see your vision and assist you in getting there.
Vocals are everything to me! I have my own "tricks" to make anything work. Vocal editing, tuning, aligning, etc, takes patience and when it comes to music I have plenty of it.
I am a Melodyne man, btw.
I also offer music. Hip Hop, Urban, and Pop are mostly what I produce. I have music currently available and I do custom beats as well.
I believe the secret to making successful music is knowing how to put "Spirit, Vibe, Energy", and what the legends would say, "Magic" into each song. I live and work with that philosophy.
Let's make magic!

Stereo is an absolute gem in the world of music production and sound engineering. Working with him was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His expertise in crafting pristine soundscapes and his meticulous attention to detail truly elevated my song to new heights. What truly sets Stereo apart, however, is his unwavering support and encouragement. Throughout the entire process, he pushed me to be my best, always believing in my potential and inspiring me to reach beyond my comfort zone. He
check_circleVerifiedBest Mix I've had in years. Best part is I told him what I was looking for, and he gave me that and more. I could tell he took pride in the song as if he wrote it. From the effects on the vocals, to the panning of the instruments, all done professionally. I definitely will utilize his mixing and producing skills soon on my next track.

Stereo is incredibly patient, kind, and talented. I am a newb at making music and he’s guided me through a project that’s been living in my head for years even when I wasn’t sure of the exact sound I was looking for. He was able to create a match for the mood and energy I was searching for to match my lyrics. I will continue to work with him for all my future projects.
