The Mark Hornsby on SoundBetter

Highly diversified and sought after mix engineer who has worked has been featured in hundreds of videos with millions of views.

I have been described as the "musicians' engineer". Players from all walks of life seek me out because my mixes transport people inside their music. I specialize in taking real musical performances and making them come alive in the headphones. My mixes bridge the gap between the loudness war and fidelity. I mean, why can't we have both?

Fun Facts:

To date I have worked on over 1000 projects.

One time I recorded Anthrax, Albert Lee, Al DiMeola, Carl Verheyen, Oz Noy, Will Lee and Dennis Chambers all within the same month.

I am considered a thought leader on music technology and are a featured monthly columnist for Recording Magazine.

I built the recording studio division of the billion dollar US retailer Sweetwater Sound, Inc. and taught hundreds of working recording workshops for thousands of people.

I am a certified Pro Tools Expert by Avid and helped them write their course curriculum on the subject.

I'm also a bass player who has shared the stage with Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Robben Ford, Don Felder and Dweezil Zappa.

    Working with Mark Hornsby is always an adventure, in a good way. He's a total ninja with the hardware and the software he uses. Always seeking (succeeding) to bring out the best in the recording space, hardware, artist, session musicians and tools of post production to sevre the project at hand. I've worked with Mark a lot and always look forward to hiring him again.

    Mark has recorded my last 3 albums and many other projects that I've produced or been involved with. I've worked with hundreds of engineers over my long career as a recording musician and he's one of the very few with a telepathic connection when it comes to getting guitar sounds. He's fast when you need him to be but takes the time when that's what is needed. Mark Hornsby is the best there is!

    I've worked with Mark on dozens of productions over the past six years from jazz (Peter Erskine) through to Metal (Anthrax) with diversions into prog (Big Big Train) and the Blues (Beth Hart) and have heard every artist complement Mark on his sound. In addition he's both fun to work with and also totally professional and, yes, he does make things happen.

    I started working with Mark on 5 tracks. Wound up doing nearly 100 in 3-4 years. What else can I say!!! He’s world class!
