Producer/ Vocal Processing Engineer/ Mixer/ Multi-Instrumentalist/ Songwriter
I am a multi-instrumentalist, singer, guitarist, drummer, songwriter, and producer. I can make full production songs from just dry bare bone stems that you recorded. Remember it's your song, your vision, I'm here to help you make it sound the way you always dreamed it would.
Also I allow as many revision as we need to complete the project the right way. Turn-around time is usually pretty quick, within a week usually, but if a track needs more attention we can spend as much time on it as we need to.
What makes me stand out from the crowd is my expertises in vocal processing. Vocals can make or break a song. In my opinion vocals are not only the most important part of the song, they are also the hardest to get right, and often the most overlooked. I specialize in using Celemony's Melodyne and have been using it since 2008. I know all the ins and outs and I'm sure working together we will create something you are very proud to release.
I am also Mr. Audio on YouTube. I make music production tutorials. I have many vocal production, mixing and mastering tutorials on my channel.

check_circleVerifiedThomas is very nice, kind and polite! He responds to every message really fast and it is really comfortable to work with him! I would definitely recommend others to work with Thomas! Thank you so much! Thomas!
check_circleVerifiedTom was absolutely fantastic to work with. I couldn't be happier with how my project turned out. He was very communicative and showed a lot of commitment and dedication towards helping me find all the right tones and really making my melodies pop. I will definitely be working with him again in the future!
check_circleVerifiedAmazing vocal talents!! I might have a good selection of instruments in my arsenal, but honestly, my recording setup is lackluster, to say the least. I sent over a few takes of a song, along with all the files, and he built it up, helped me immensely with drums, fixed vocal timing issues in post, created harmonies from my first takes, and added vocal effects that really make this shine. I will 100% be a returning customer.
Thank you, Tom!Thomas has an ear for melody that’s second to none, and also sonically takes a mix to another level. On top of that, he is really personable and down to earth, (which is becoming rarer and harder to find these days). Weather it’s producing, mixing, or mastering... Thomas is your one stop shop.
Tom was incredibly knowledgeable but was still very open to new ideas. He was able to help in so many ways, and I have honestly learned a lot from this. I was working on a few piano covers, and Tom was able to add a massive amount of space, while still making things much cleaner. Got rid of the muddy sounds without killing the beautiful sound of the grand piano.
I came back to him a bit later with an original I wrote with vocals. Then his talents really shined. The amount of control he had with any take was so impressive. I'm very happy. I will definitely be using Toms services in the future.Tom was incredibly knowledgeable, but was still very open to new ideas.

I was working on a few piano covers for a little ep, and Tom was able to add a massive amount of space, but still make things much cleaner. Get rid of the muddy sounds without killing the beautiful sound of the grand piano. The comparison was really impressive. I will defiantly be using Toms services again.
Communication was great, totally down to talk on zoom and on the phone. Very flexible. I sent him some stems of a very much unfinished song and he helped me arrange, produce and write to completion. He does some great work with vocal production specifically. Totally worth the money.
Interview with Thomas Jeffery Sarenpa
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Get to know the equipment and software you have before throwing loads of money into the next plugin or the next interface or the next MIDI controller.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both, but unfortunately with digital software becoming increasingly more affordable and analog gear pretty much retaining its value, Digital is not only more affordable but also more easily accessible and readily available.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: Laptop, USB Mic, Acoustic Guitar, Headphones, Solar panel electricity. Nothing could go wrong with that setup!

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Ryan Tedder, Colt Capperrune, Charlie Puth
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
