Jason Monk on SoundBetter

Vocal (pitch/comping) and instrument editor with songwriting and soundscaping capabilities. I tracked and edited the guitars/synths on the debut Instilled in Me album "The Shape of Life" and have co-written/recorded the entire Valence catalogue

I've focused mainly on metal music and have been using synths to help create a soundscape heard today in modern metal.
I can create synth hooks/leads/layers for your music to add depth, character and provide a theme for your song to take it to the next level.
Stuck on riffs? I can help work on riffs in progress or even create new riffs/songs to beat writers block and continue creating.
I take editing seriously; when everything lines up perfectly, the final mix and master pump way harder than if you skip this crucial step. Let me dial in you guitar tracks or line up vocal doubles and fine tune your melodies.
