riffsthatrule on SoundBetter

I’m here to breathe life into your tracks and bring you huge, clean, metal mixes and masters that compete with the best!

I'm a composer, multi-instrumentalist, musician, mixing and mastering engineer and graduate of the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA that specializes in metal.

Currently, I write, produce, mix and master original music for film and tv as well as bands. Most recently, I mastered “Xoth’s” latest album, “Exogalactic” on Dawnbreed Records out now on all streaming platforms. I'm signed with multiple labels with worldwide distribution and have music in major motion pictures such as, "Extract" written and directed by Mike Judge as well as shows on Disney+ Hotstar, Hulu, BBC, Oxygen network and many more. My experience with labels have made me confident that I can bring your tracks to life, make them radio ready and contemporary to compete with the best while keeping them sounding huge and brutal!

Three free revisions! We’ll get your tracks sounding exactly how you envision them to.

Feel free to contact me anytime via the big green button above and I’m excited to get to work on making your songs sound their best!

Interview with riffsthatrule

Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both! (I know that’s probably against the rules but… it’s true!) I use hardware amps and synths to get those warm, creamy tones but I mix 100% in the box. I just love the workflow and especially the ease of recalling mixes just rules.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: We’ll get your mixes sounding exactly the way you want them with three free revisions.
