Let Your Music Shine! I'm a mastering engineer and I'm willing your music to get through the noise. I am also a singer and I can sing your either your melodies or can create new melodies and harmonies to your productions.
I'm Vova (nickname from Volodymyr), experienced mastering engineer and singer. I worked with a lot of pro and indie artists, did many collaborations and also make my own music. I am in the music world long enough to be able to understand how the song should sound like and I'd love to share my experience with YOU! Mastering or vocals - just text me a message and I'm sure we will get along :)
P.S. I also do stem-mastering, mostly up to 6 stems, and play piano/synths and program drums.

A: Not yet, I'm new here
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both!
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: You will be satisfied no matter how many revisions it will take
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Exploring new music while getting paid ^^
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: "Should I put a limiter before mastering" - Please don't!

A: Get the mix well done
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: No gear, just water :)
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I am in the music world since I was 7 years old, did this and that, got into mastering about 10 years ago
Q: How would you describe your style?
