Mastering with emotion & depth

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

A: I want to work with artists who seek professional results and have a clear artistic vision for their project — regardless of fame or genre. That shared commitment to quality and emotion is what drives great results.

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: Not at the moment, but I’m always open to collaboration and connecting with great professionals here.

A: Digital — today’s high-end plugins accurately replicate analog gear with full recall, flexibility, and no compromise in sound.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: I will treat your music with the same care and attention I give my own — no shortcuts, just honest, high-quality mastering.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: Helping music reach its full emotional and sonic potential — and seeing how much it means to the artist.

A: Q: Can I get revisions if I need changes? A: Absolutely — I offer 3 revisions to ensure you're 100% happy with the result.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: That mastering is just making tracks louder. It's actually about balance, translation, and emotion.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: What is your artistic goal? What platforms are you releasing on? Do you have reference tracks?

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

A: Listen to their previous work, read reviews, and make sure their taste and values match your vision — communication is key.

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

A: Mac Studio, Genelec monitors, MOTU interface, Steinberg Wavelab, and FabFilter bundle.

A: I’ve been producing and mastering music professionally for over 15 years. I started as an electronic artist and evolved into mastering through passion and deep technical training.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Detailed, musical, spacious, and emotionally connected. I favor subtlety and precision over loudness.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Less is more. A well-placed subtle change often has more impact than major processing.

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

A: Ambient, chillout, downtempo, lo-fi, deep house, and neo-classical — though I master across all genres.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Translating emotion into sonic detail — making music feel powerful without overprocessing.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: Clarity, warmth, balance, and emotional depth. I focus on helping the music connect — technically perfect but never sterile.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I start by listening deeply to understand the artist’s intent, then apply careful EQ, dynamics, and subtle enhancements to bring the track to life — always leaving room for emotion and space.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: A professionally treated room with Genelec monitoring (GLM-calibrated), MOTU interface, Mac Studio M1 Ultra, and Steinberg Wavelab. My plugin chain includes top-tier mastering tools like Weiss, SPL, SSL, and Softube.

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

A: Ólafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm, and Tycho — artists who blend emotion, space, and sonic depth with precision.

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

A: Mastering full albums, EPs, and singles — often following up on mix feedback or handling the mix as well, especially for ambient, downtempo, and lo-fi genres.
