Zach Swift

Producer and Songwriter

Zach Swift on SoundBetter

I'm an LA-based producer and songwriter, creating catchy pop grooves, with a focus on vocal precision and authenticity. You'll come away with a release ready master.

Greetings from Los Angeles. I'm a producer and songwriter here, looking forward to collaborating. My preference? Writing a track from the ground up alongside artists and songwriters. But, if you've got an existing song you'd like me to produce, I'm here for that too.

My production approach focuses on minimal yet catchy pop grooves. While I have a soft spot for bass-driven tracks, every component — from guitar and drums to synths and vocals — holds weight in my productions. Especially vocals. As for vocal production, I make sure the intricacies of phrasing, pitch, and melody are right at tracking time. I have a high-end vocal chain and you'll leave with a release read master you'll be proud of.

Let's work together, and create something memorable.

Interview with Zach Swift

  1. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  2. A: See if they'll work with you on the first song free to see if you two even have chemistry. It really does take a mutual trust and chemistry between artist and producer. So many times, it's just not a good fit. It's good to find this out without having to pay for a bad experience.

  3. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  4. A: microphone, macbook, audio interface, midi controller, speakers?

  5. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  6. A: I've been recording since my dad cobbled together a computer and mixer for me when I was 12. I went to school for audio engineering, have given guitar, bass and drum lessons professionally, and was very involved in the Nashville songwriting scene. I'm looking forward to connecting to the LA music community.

  7. Q: How would you describe your style?

  8. A: Catchy, yet substantial pop

  9. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  10. A: Michael Jackson. I know impossible, but he was the master of the craft of pop music.

  11. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  12. A: Always be recording anytime you're brainstorming any vocal or instrument part. So many times the first thing that comes out of your mouth is the right thing. Easy to lose it if you're not recording.

  13. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  14. A: My main genre is pop. I'll add rock and electronic elements as well as needed.

  15. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  16. A: Taking a song idea giving it a production it asks for. Not overproduced, but just enough to make the song come to life.

  17. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  18. A: I have a good ear for what a song needs. I usually lean toward less is better. I'll make your vocals sound great. I'll always have something interesting/catchy in every part of the song. I love a strong dynamic contrast between song parts.

  19. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  20. A: I have a whisper room for a vocal/instrument booth, a high end vocal/instrument chain, and a full suite of real instruments, virtual instruments, and plugins to craft whatever sound we're going for.

  21. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  22. A: Pooh Bear, Ian Kirpatrick, Andrew Goldstein, Louis Bell, Max Martin

  23. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  24. A: Full production. Meaning you come with a song idea or a written song and we'll finish with a fully mastered, release ready production.

  25. Q: What's your typical work process?

  26. A: We'll do a scratch vocals on the first session, we'll iterate on a production direction offline, have you back for final vocals, and then iterate on a mix until we're both happy.
