I specialise in vocal editing – tuning, timing and comping.
My background includes working at a central London studio catering for major labels and high-profile artists, and working internationally as a session guitarist.
As an engineer and musician with perfect-pitch, I approach editing from a very musical perspective – significantly improving performances without compromising the feel and authenticity of the original vocal. I've developed methods to bring the most challenging stems to industry standard, with a workflow once described by a producer as 'vocal surgery'.
I offer a valuable time-saving service to artists, producers and engineers, who can benefit from outsourcing this vital step in the production process.

Seb went above and beyond just tuning my records vocal, he made certain each vowel, use of character, and flow of the original take was maintained while fixing problem areas, creating a radio ready vocal. More so, he included extra vocal work and a mix down. I HIGHLY recommend Seb for your next vocal-surgery!
Interview with Seb
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That vocal editing is something which all engineers can do. This is a huge misconception, as it goes far beyond the realm of technical knowledge and much further into the area of musical performance and delivery.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Arthur Indrikovs - he's a great mix engineer.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work in various studios when it comes to tracking. For editing I have my own setup which includes all the relevant software and some serious CPU to handle all the processing I need.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Modern music production is something I find incredibly inspirational. The standard keeps getting higher, which is something I really enjoy.
