Serhat Gedik on SoundBetter

I am a multi-genre producer, Mixing & Mastering Engineer, DJ & Label owner from Famagusta, Cyprus. I have worked with many artists from all around the world in all calibers and I am ready to work with many more.

From Disco, House music, and its sub-genres to hip-hop/trap beats, I can and do produce a variety of genres. Confident in my work 100% and you can listen to some of my samples via the music player below.
I like combining instruments from different genres to create diversity and uniqueness in a song and I never like putting barriers/limits. I'll definitely take a client's thoughts into consideration and I will guide them in the right direction if I have to.

Interview with Serhat Gedik

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I remixed a song for Paloma Faith back when I first started producing and I became third in that remix competition which then lead me to sign with Sony Music/America and I will be forever grateful for that.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am working on two remix projects for a big name in the industry which I can't reveal but you will hear :)
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Yes, I would like to recommend Jasmine Knight to all my clients as she is an amazing VOCALIST and a great person to work with.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. Cos both have their pros and cons.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I will always convert 100% of your ideas into a pro-sounding song.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Doing what I love for a living. MUSIC!
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: "How long will you take to finish producing my song" is the most common question I get and my answer is always the same: "I don't know. Sometimes a week and sometimes a month but sometimes a day". It all depends on the mood of the song.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: I don't sit in a studio pressing buttons and expect a miracle to happen.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I ask a series of questions about their vision to see where they are aiming to head with their project. Some questions to see how serious they are with their craft cos not everything in life is MONEY. I rather keep my time to myself and do something more useful with it rather than taking your money, doing something with you or for you, only for you to turn around do absolutely nothing with it.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Just message me and let's talk :)
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My computer, midi keyboard, FL Studio, my audio interface, and my beloved headphones.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: My career path was and still is the same for the last 10 years and it will be the same and even better for the future which is becoming an established, well-known producer around the world who likes to help people in every single possible way.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is quite diverse and as I don't mind using Brazilian percussions in a UK House track, likewise, I can implement any instrument into any song just as long as it sounds good and complements the rest of the song.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would like to work with Sam Smith cos I love his voice!
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: The golden tip I would like to share is: THERE ARE NO RULES
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I work on House music 90% of the time but I produce rap/hip-hop beats in my free time to give myself a little diversity and also to open up more doors for myself in terms of creativity and more links in the music industry.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skills will be Producing, remixing, recording, arranging, composing, and even help write the lyrics if needed.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring soul, energy, creativity, and a sound like no other out there.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I first start with the melody, then I write the drums and percussions which then leads me to write the bass and gather all the main ingredients into one place. I then start arranging and taking out stuff that I don't enjoy in the song and I replace them with new ones until it all sounds like "ONE".
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I run Soundcraft signature 22 multitrack mixing console in my studio. My UAD Apollo Duo runs through that when I am recording vocals which allow me to get a warmer sounding vocal recording. I also have a Moog Minitaur which I use almost on every single production I make to get the right analog bassline. Having said that, I wouldn't be able to live without my Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol which lets me find and pick sounds EASY!
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I love Purple Disco Machine's work. Classic 80's sound in 2000 mixed with great vocals. I also love MK, Hot Since 82's music too alongside Low Steppa as well. These producers really inspire me.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I Produce, mix and master songs for most of my clients. I also receive a lot of remixing offers which I take depending on the song.
