Want to stop worrying about nailing your mixdown? Here is your solution! Do you love making music but mis the skills to bring the song to your desired level? No worries, after releasing more than 15 songs (all fully mixed by me) and over 650.000 streams it is time to offer my skill set to other people as well!
My name is Jelle van Snek, a 24-year-old producer and engineer from a small village near Rotterdam (Netherlands).
When I am not in my studio I work as a live Sound engineer in theaters and clubs. Thanks to my work as a live engineer, I’ve gathered a wide skill set to fix every mix. I’ve specialized in hardstyle production and dance music mixing.
I will offer the following mixes for all genre’s:
- Stem mixing
- Full mixdowns
- Vocal mixdowns
All mixdowns have 2 revisions included!
Before every assignment u can send me the demo and the stems so I can make a fitting price for your project

A: They ask to hear a couple demos
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: LILS ft NIIVES & Haylee - Outcast. This was a song made about my past as a child so it is a personal track but also a track with a lot going on in the vocal layering and instrumental. I produced the song, mixed the full instrumental and also did a big part of the vocal mixdown!
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: At this moment I am working on some projects by Kairozmusic and on my own originals and covers!

A: I promise you that the project will sound huge and clean!
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: To sit in the studio and work on music that no one has heard yet is so amazing because u know the song will be touching people in different ways. second to that, I love to get better every day and in this line of work that will happen when u go for it.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That it can be paid in "exposure"
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: what do you want me to fix that u could not do yourself? what level of creative choices can I make? when do I need to deliver?

A: Send me the project before hand and talk to me about the deadlines and your wishes so i can do my work as good as possible for you!

Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: my strongest skill is finding the fighting frequencies and other annoying things that can clean up your song or stems.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: What I bring is 2 fresh ears that are really good at finding clashing frequencies. I want to deliver a steady and full mix without it sounding overly full!
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I try to make the best mix with balans, panning and eq. when this part is done I will start with the dynamic control processing like compression and dessing. As soon as this is done I will start adding fx to the mix and automate parameters to add some life to your music.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My mix setup is fairly simple, A antelope Discrete 8 Synergy core with 2 Genelec 8040's and 2 dB Opera 208D with a Presonus monitor station in between. The hardware mix gear I use is: a Lexicon reverb a DBX166XL for gating and 2 76-kt's compressors.

A: The type of work that I do the most will be: Vocal mixdowns (see before and after on my profile! after that I guess stem mixing is most common 10-15 stems.
