Ben Andrewes on SoundBetter

I'm a London-based engineer/producer with high-spec analog hybrid studio, mostly into indie/rock/folk/alternative. Let's make music that moves people.

Hello - my name is Ben and I am an engineer/producer based at my studio Strange Melody recording in South London. I work freelance as well as running Cavendish Studios, a north London based production music studio.

I have been working in studios in London for the past 10 years, first at the legendary Kensaltown where I assisted on sessions with A-Ha, James Morrison and Mike Posner. Currently I am engineer and studio manager at Cavendish Music, a high end recording facility based at Europe's largest independent production music company. I can offer production from the ground up, multitrack mixing and remote drum recording. I have a large microphone and equipment collection, with a range of outboard, vintage ribbon and tube mics etc. Musically I have eclectic tastes, I love indie-rock, psych rock, 60s folk, jazz, hip hop and leftfield genres, to name a few. I use a mix of analog and digital to create textures and tones that feel exciting and nuanced. My work has been played on 6 Music, Beats One, BBC 6 and Radio 1 as well as placements on Netflix, BBC and Channel 4 productions.

Very good mixing engineer. Great communication and attention to detail. All Ben's mixes for us have been focused, clear and top rate. He takes the time to understand the band's vibe and expectations, always getting the final mix balanced just right. It's been a pleasure working with Ben and we would return.

Ben quickly understood the sound we were looking for and went straight to work. His first version was the keeper. It’s been a pleasure working with Ben and we definitely would work with him again!

I have been lucky enough to have worked with Ben on numerous projects - sometimes solely mixing and others from their inception through to the mastered track. A brilliant engineer and producer who is a joy to work with and who’s results speak for themselves. I couldn’t recommend more highly, always an utter pleasure.

Ben is the most kindest, patient and professional mixing engineer we've ever worked with! He always treats your tracks with the uttermost respect and very extremely well trained ears. Knowing we are very detail oriented with our mixes, Ben always achieves perfection with his patience and constant respect towards our vision.
A very passionate and professional mixing engineer, and always a pleasure to work with!

I’ve worked with Ben in an engineer/producer role for the last year and it’s been such a productive and enjoyable experience. He creates an environment where I feel at ease trying out ideas without feeling self conscious and he will gently help guide the songs creatively without taking control. When I’m in the studio with Ben I feel a sense positivity and optimism and I can hear that reflected in the songs we’ve recorded together. We also have the same taste in pizza and cookies which helps.

Ben is a dream to work with! Easy to talk to, great communicator, versatile, always takes feedback onboard and honours the artist's vision in his mixes. Your music is in safe hands (and ears) with this tremendous technical knowledge and skill. Equally easy to work with on per-track basis, as well as on longer projects. Would definitely recommend him as a mixing engineer!
