Joseph Schmidt (Jophes) on SoundBetter

I can turn your pop, indie and electronic ideas into finished, radio ready songs! (Check out my Demo Reel!)

I am a laid back individual with a rabid musical curiosity and keen sense of sonic aesthetics- both of which I am eager to put to use in helping you realize your musical vision. If I had to assess my self, I would say my standout production abilities are melody and sound design. Helping others transform their musical ore from its natural state to sonic gold is what I’m all about!

Services I offer:
-Production. I'll take your song idea from an idea to a full-scale production. I can play most instruments.
-Mixing. I am an engineer who will mix through the lens of a musician. I also use analog summing which means your mixes will have width, depth and life!
-Synthesizer. I can recreate most sounds by ear or add that special touch your track needs to make it the last10% of the way there instrumentally.

Process:
-We call or chat to get an overview of what the project entails, weather you have a soft or hard deadline
-You send me the required files to start the project
- I do my thing by completing your thing (including the necessary revisions) and then send you forth a happy customer!

If you're ready to take your music to the next level, let's get in touch and get rolling!

    Jophes was awesome - start to finish. Really got the sound I was looking for and listened to my reference tracks. Had great ideas for the whole production, including vocal harmonies. I didn't think the track could sound this good - better than I could've hoped for. Definitely coming back to this producer! A true professional.

    Joseph is an amazing guy to work with! Not only is he creative, hardworking and patient, but you can tell he is very passionate about all things audio, which as a result means he is very open and friendly to communicate with. Looking forward to working with Joseph again. Strongly recommend hiring him.

    Joseph was clear with his changes and workflow in an element of music creation I am least experienced in (mastering a produced and mixed track). He was easy to work with, receptive to feedback, and the final product was bolstered far past the original mix I sent him. Overall a fantastic job and would highly recommend working with him if you need mastering done!
