Sean Ketwaru on SoundBetter

I provide professional Mixing, Mastering, and Production services to artists and producers like you who haven't reached worldwide success, yet! I will give you my utmost dedication and musical clarity all the while maintaining your vision and highlighting the emotions of your song. Let's get started!

I am new to Soundbetter, but I encourage you to check out my references from some of my recent clients. I have worked with a dynamic and wide range of artists in Hip Hop, Rock/Metal, Electronic etc. Artists have asked me to deliver everything from straight forward clean vocal and instrumental mixes to highly experimental and phased productions. Just let me know what you are feeling and I will have it done for you!

I offer a digital mix that can be featured alongside songs that were mixed in thousand dollar pro studios.

I will master your song in a separate studio session to highlight the dynamic emotions that can't be accentuated in the master bus of a mix. You will be provided with an professional and loud master of your song.

Production work from start to finish.
Top line writing. Melodies, Choruses and other vocal work.
Beats and instrumentation: Guitar, Keyboards, Drums and all the little bits like rises/hits that pull everything together. I will add structure to your song so it tells a story.

Tell me about your project and how I can help, through the 'Contact' button above.

A: I guarantee your 100% satisfaction with anything I deliver to you.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love the "satisfied" feeling of a drum, bass, synth and guitar all coming together.

A: Customers usually ask me about the revision process. I always tell them that I offer unlimited revisions until they are 100% satisfied with the final files.

A: Mixing and Production work.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: First (and most important) thing I do is listen to YOU and understand what you need accomplished. Then, I communicate a carefully developed plan on what will be done and when it can be delivered - usually 1-3 day delivery depending on scale of the project.
