Hi there! My name is Nate and I'm an experimental electronic music artist from the UK. I don't like to confine myself to a particular style, so take a listen to my example track and see if you like what I can do!
~= Production =~
- Do you need a track for your vocals? I have worked with many vocalists in the past, including some for my own projects. I will make sure your vocals are mixed perfectly and sound exactly how you imagined.
- Do you have a half-finished track that you're struggling to finish? I can help you bring your track idea to life! I specialise in interesting sound design and arrangements, so I'm confident that I can give your track the fresh kick you're looking for.
- Are you a rap artist looking for some beats to set yourself apart from the rest? Get in touch now so we can get started on taking your music to the next level!
~= Mixing & Mastering =~
- Do you have a track that just needs some finishing touches? Or are you in need of an entire track mixdown? I can provide full mixing & mastering services to make sure your track is ready for release.

Nate completed my project in only a matter of a few days and delivered a really high quality piece of work. He is very well-spoken and clear with his communication too. I am more than satisfied with the end result and will definitely be working with him again.

Nathan is an excellent talented Producer/Engineer. I find him very efficient and has the ability to adapt to any style of music.
Nathan turns your project around quickly, and really takes the time to communicate his approach towards the development of your project.
I highly recommend Nathan 110% if you ever need an engineer who will take your music to the next level. 
check_circleVerified (Client)Nathan is a wonderful producer that I just loved working with. It's a real treat when you get hired to sing on a track that you love, and Nathan's work will make you fall in love. Would for sure work with him again. Also, super super nice guy.
Worked with Nathan twice and I couldn't have been happier with the results. I will definitely be working with him again in the future!
Quality work by Nathan. He knew what I had in mind and produced something better. Can't recommend him enough!
Interview with Nate R
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I was asked to take part in a mini-mix for BBC Radio to showcase all my previous releases and WIPs - this was a great achievement for me at the time and I had a lot of fun making it.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: A new set of singles to release as a part of my new musical alias - Kasini. Watch out for future releases!
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Adam Franklin - an incredible vocalist.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: I usually get asked how many revisions I can give them, to which I say - "unlimited!". I am confident that I'll be able to provide you with exactly what you want, but if you're not happy with the first result then I'm always happy to keep trying until you are!
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That I'm a recording engineer - Unfortunately, I don't provide any in-person recording sessions, nor do I have the means to do so. I just provide remote music production, mix, and master engineering.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Usually, if they can provide some reference tracks and a good description of what they want me to do, then I won't have many questions - I'll just get straight to work!
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Lo-fi dissonance
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Originality & extremely high-quality production
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My work process is different for every track - sometimes I'll start with the percussion, sometimes I'll start with a chord progression, and sometimes I'll even start by creating some strange sounds which inspire the rest of the track. It all comes down to what type of track I'm working on, and how long I have to complete it!
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog. Nothing beats those vintage tones.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: To deliver exactly what you want and provide value for your money and time.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Being able to turn ideas from my head into actual sounds that I can listen to and show other people.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Try to be as clear as possible when contacting, this way we can always be on the same page and communication can run smoothly. This usually decreases the turn-around time by a lot, too!
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: A Prophet 5 and a massive sound system. I could survive purely on the sound waves and the beautiful vintage analog tones.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been making music for ten long years. Everything I've learnt, I have taught myself. My style of music has drastically changed over the last few years and haven't personally released anything for a while. But considering how long I've been in the game, and how much time and money I have spent on bettering my production abilities, I think it's time to help other people!
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: So many to choose from! If I had to pick one, it would be IMANU. His music has inspired me beyond belief, especially his immense versatility. Just take a listen to some of his music and you'll see what I mean!
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: If you're finding yourself trying to fix your song on the master, your mix probably isn't good enough. For the most part, if your mix is great, you shouldn't need many plugins on the master, if any at all!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Experimental electronic music
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Interesting sound design & arrangements
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a simple (yet effective) setup, including a Razer Blade 15, Ableton Live 10, Beyerdynamic DT 770 headphones, & a whole plethora of samples, virtual synths, and mixing plugins.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: IMANU, Porter Robinson, Bicep, Flume, Ross From Friends, Virtual Riot, Camo & Krooked, deadmau5.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Full track productions
