Mark Helder on SoundBetter

Professional audio engineer, sound designer and music composer with credits in Hollywood trailer music scene, tv documentaries, art installations, video games and advertising.

Placements on Disney+ (Star Wars: The Mandalorian), Netflix (Rhythm + Flow), Paramount+ (Chopper Cops). Trailer-music releases through Really Slow Motion, Giant Apes Music, and BMG Production Music.

12 years in the industry as a composer and a mixing engineer, so I can run the full pipeline (compose → arrange → record → mix → master) under one roof if your project wants both creative and technical handled together.

How I work: short call to hear what you're after, 1–2 reference cues from past projects in your direction, then we agree on scope and price. No starting-at gotchas, no surprise revision fees.

    Mark was super responsive, easy to work with and most importantly made my mix sound great! Would recommend and will use again.

    Mark did a great job mixing my hybrid orchestral track. It sounds big, clear and more natural which is something I wouldn't have been able to accomplish mixing it myself. Mark was also very professional and I would definitely hire him again for other projects.

    First time using this service and I was a bit skeptical however after meeting Mark I was instantly comforted by his level of professionalism and guidance. I thoroughly appreciated his advice and feedback on my tracks making me rethink how I arrange/compose/mix for the industry. Then after receiving my mastered track I was blown away on how he brought the track to life! Individual instruments were a lot clearer, had their own space & more power & punch to my hits. Thanks again, Mark
