Chapter V Audio on SoundBetter

An engineer blending extensive technical expertise with high-quality equipment and a deep passion for the audio craft!

My name is Takis, and I'm a freelance audio engineer based in Greece who enjoys recording and mixing music.

I have recorded bands in crappy rehearsal basements and living rooms, or fully isolated multi-track recordings. I've also worked with big orchestras and choirs at live show recordings, handled post-production tasks, and edited dialogue for short films, among many other projects.

My studio is called Chapter V Audio, but I'm not limited to working there. I'm open to working in different environments and love stepping out of my comfort zone. Feel free to send me your tracks for mixing, or let's find a location, whether it's a fully equipped recording studio or a spacious living room, to create some music together!

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.
