Bay Area audio engineer specializing in mixing, mastering, and music production, focusing primarily on rock, heavy rock, and alternative music.
My name is Mojo and I produce and mix rock, heavy rock and alternative music, working out of my own studio in the San Francisco Bay Area. My sweet spot is working with emerging bands to help your music compete with more established bands.
As a longtime independent musician myself, I understand the needs and struggles of up-and-coming artists, and how important it is to bring your vision to life. My working style is a partnership and a stewardship, and I care as much about the success of your songs as you do.
Mixing is a complex process with a steep learning curve. Let me do the heavy lifting so you can get back to the creative process of making the music you love.

Interview with Matt Denton (Mojo)
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Yes - one of my favorite people on the planet is an amazing producer out of Texas - Alex Winters who is a multitalented musician, singer, and songwriter, and just a pleasure to work with.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: My promise is that my clients will be completely satisfied by the professional result.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I always ask for one or two examples of songs by other artists that have the vibe and sonic quality they're looking for. I also always want to know what the end goal is for the song or album - CD, streaming, vinyl, or all of the above.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I was a self produced indie musician myself for a decade, often finding myself mixing and doing mix evaluations for friends and collaborators before I started taking on paid work and continuing to level up my process.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: 90s retro with a modern feel. I love the warmth and dynamic range of 90s productions and work to bring that into the modern streaming era with the depth and punch of today's productions.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: I like to keep a Waves L2 limiter on my 2-bus so I can quickly see what a mix will sound like at master level. Some things sound significantly different loud than at normal listening levels.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I lean towards producing heavy and hard rock as that's what I love listening to, but I've mixed a fair amount of alternative, indie and Americana as well.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is being able to work with a musician or band to truly understand what they're looking for out of a mix. I truly care as much as they do about making the music the best it can be.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Strong mixing and mastering skills, but also production skills. As someone who has been producing music for over a decade, if needed I can make arrangement or production level suggestions or even assist with songwriting.
