Max Gowan on SoundBetter

Let me help you sound great. Credits include: Infinity Crush, My Sister Maura, Mind's Eye, Exercise, Tombstone Poetry, Truth Club, Koka, Daytona. Indie rock, pop, folk are all my specialty, but I also have plenty of experience with metal and heavier genres. I care more about your taste than mine - let's make your song sound how you want it to.

I'm a producer/engineer based out of Raleigh, NC. I currently operate a recording studio called Found After Dark, but I also do plenty of remote mixing and mastering for different artists. I minored in Audio Technology at American University in Washington, DC, and I've been mixing and mastering music professionally for the past 5 years.

Although I'm confident in my technical skills as an engineer, I think the real value I bring to the table is my ability to focus on the emotion of a song and bring out its most compelling qualities. I work closely with all the artists who hire me, and I pride myself on my communication and ability to nail a sound based on notes and references that are given to me.

I am very accessible via email and will be timely with my communication with you. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to hearing your music and working with you!

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

Max did a fantastic job mastering!
by Benjamin
My band, Boy Named Sue, and Max have worked on our last 3 releases together: One full length and 2 EP’s, and with each release/session, there is tangible growth between Max and ourselves. I believe this is partly due to how Max approaches not only recording but songwriting. He understands that not every band operates/writes/records the same and is experienced enough to accommodate any band/artist.

I also highly recommend Max to any band who enjoys recording with traditional amps and tracking things live- these type of producers/engineers are a rare breed!

Max took the time to listen to the vision for our track and worked tirelessly to deliver a product we were really excited about. Max is a music fan at heart and it really shows in his care for audio production. I would recommend Max to anyone

Made our music sound professional and is a very friendly guy.

Max is truly a one of a kind collaborator, producer, mixer, and masterer of all things in the studio! He’s always willing to go that extra mile to leave no stone unturned and ensure that you’re happy with what you sound like leaving the studio!

I’m very proud of the tracks that my band has been able to record with him this far and we'll be sure to continue working with him in the future!
by Chris Weilding
Max is exceptionally talented as an engineer, mixer and mastering pro. He is easy to work with and consistently provides valuable input during the recording. Every session we have had with him has been smooth and comfortable with excellent results. I can't recommend him enough.
by Laura McCullough
Our band has worked with Max several times. He has provided the highest quality engineering, mixing and mastering services in a timely manner and at a reasonable price. He's great at helping us achieve our vision. We feel very lucky to work with Max and hope to record with him many more times in the future. He always helps us sound our best!
by Scott
Max is very professional and produced the results I was looking for in a timely manner. Highly recommend.
by Matt Wilkins (Exercise)
Working with Max is an experience that perfectly blends professionalism and personality. In the multiple sessions I’ve had working with him, I’ve always felt like I am getting more than just a skilled set of hands on a mixing board. Max is more like a creative coach that eggs on the process by providing feedback and and encouragement that truly makes the artist feel in their element. In addition, the Found After Dark studio provides a cozy, disarming atmosphere, with plenty of options for food and coffee within walking distance.

Absolutely loved working with Max. He's very confident in his skills and cares deeply about your vision and unique sound. His turnarounds are so quick, which I also greatly appreciated. I would work with him again in the future!
