Ask about my Try Before You Buy offer. I love mixing music, its probably my favourite part of the process. If you have a song that you have recorded but you just can't get the final mix the way you want it, then send it over to me and I can mix it for you to give you that professional shine that you are looking for.
Hi I'm Matt Williams and I have over 18 years experience as a live and studio sound engineer and have also toured as a guitar technician. Predominantely I have worked as a monitor engineer for well established artistes. Most engineers will agree that the monitor engineers job is the most technically demanding and difficult part of live sound engineering. It requires excellent ears, mixing skills and great communication to put multiple complex mixes together that keep every band member happy. Many engineers will refuse to mix monitors because it is so tough.
I have had the good fortune to travel and work in some great places over the years with some of the highlights being Wembley Arena, the O2 Berlin, Pyramid Stage Glastonbury, Reading Festival, Benacassim Festival Spain, Roskilde Festival Denmark. I have toured Europe, Australia, New Zealand and gigged in Nigeria, China and Russia. This has led me to work with an amazing array of artistes and organisations including:
Alexander O'Neal, All Tomorrow's Parties, Badly Drawn Boy, Beautiful Days Festival, Bellowhead, Ben Howard, Billy Bragg, Black Veil Brides, Blazin' Squad, Bootleg Beetles, Brandon Block, Capdown, Cara Dillon, Cerebral Ballzy, Chesney Hawks, Chipmunk, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Fighters, Damage, Dead Men Walking, Devin Townsend Project, Dizzy Rascal,For a much larger list see my website!

I've known and worked with Matt for five years, in two bands and as a solo artist.
He is a highly skilled and hard-working engineer, with consumate knowledge of his craft and tools. He is highly mindful of and sensitive to the requirements and needs of singers, instrumentalists and creators. Furthermore, it is a pleasure to have him as a colleague!

Try before you buy offer! I will mix your song then send you the stereo master with an occasional audio watermark (white noise). You will hear most of the track to know the quality of the mix and then you can decide if you wish to purchase.
