David Boyden on SoundBetter

Experienced and highly diligent vocal editor focussed on transparent tuning, timing, and audio cleaning to level up your recordings and streamline your workflow. Work examples available on request due to artist confidentiality.

I'm a London based producer and songwriter who's had the pleasure of working with some of the most exciting up-and-coming singer-songwriters in the UK, Europe, and the US. As a producer, I know the most important thing about a vocal recording is the emotion and the believability of the performance as this can't be simulated or repaired on the back-end. Quite often, though, the most exciting performances need a little help in terms of tuning and timing to appeal to the modern ear that's used to the precision of digital recording.

As a modern producer, I'm used to these expectations but am also tired of hearing lazily over-tuned and unnaturally timed vocals that take me out of the performance. As a result, I'm particularly diligent in ensuring that the natural qualities of the performance shine through but elevate the tracks to a commercially competitive standard. Additionally, having worked in various home studios over the years, I'm very experienced at tidying up noisy recordings that suffer from excess background noise, lip smacks, plosives, sharp breaths/sibilance, etc.

I work across Logic Pro, Melodyne Studio, and RX 11 to manually make the most transparent edits I can.

Get in touch if you need help getting your vocal tracks to a releasable standard or you're another producer with a workflow bottleneck stopping you turning around tracks fast enough.

    David did a great job editing the vocals on my debut EP, whilst still managing to keep them sounding natural. He's a wizard with RX and Melodyne and will be my go-to for my next project. 10/10 would recommend!
