Soren Andersen on SoundBetter

I have mix credits with a multitude of diverse artist including; Amy Macdonald, Within Temptation, The Cranberries, Boxer Rebellion, Katie Melua, Rick Astley, Joan Armatrading, The Darkness, Jack Savoretti, Jeremy Loops and many many more.

You've got a banging track, which you've worked hard on for a while.. So why does it not take off when you play it at your friends party? ..and why have you not got any response from the radio plugger even though you sent it to them weeks ago? Even after the guys at the studio mixed it again - it's still not quite there?

These are some the most common questions that everyone (including me) asks themselves. And when you've asked yourself everyday for 20 years you begin to get a good idea why.

If you have this issue with your song, then hit the contact button at the top of the page and let's have a chat. It doesn't cost anything to talk.

I have extensive experience and great success mixing for radio networks in the UK. If this is something you're aiming for then please let me know.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

Interview with Soren Andersen

Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The happiest time is the start of the mix. Going through and discovering what drives the mix forward and makes it work is something I never get tired of.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: What format should I send you the multi-track in? Send me WAVs at the resolution you've recorded them in (ie. 44KHz or 48KHz, 24bit or 32bit) Make sure they all start at the same point (ie. Bar1) Always include a super dry option of the lead vocals (uncompressed if possible) Pro Tools sessions are also accepted.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: "It's nearly there so it won't take you long" It takes 10% of the time to get it to 90% It then takes 90% of the time to get the last 10% nailed.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I'll typically ask what their situation is. Are they signed, unsigned? Previous releases? Then of course I'd like to know what they are hoping to achieve with the mix.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Be genuine. No need to BS.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I studied music and I have a have a Tone Master degree from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Copenhagen where I was born. I've lived in London for over 20 years now where I've worked as a sound engineer in the music and TV/Film industries having collected many awards along the way.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I've setup this profile hoping to find some new talent to work with.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: For most genres there are three stages of the process. Writing, Producing, Mixing. Make sure you spend enough time on all three. They can be combined but you might wear yourself (or someone else) out if you decide to change the lyrics in the chorus during the mix stage.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: A wide range of genres centered around mainstream pop of all genres.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I am a musician myself and I have a great understanding of what my clients are trying to achieve.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Whatever it needs by any means necessary!
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Listen to the premix, cup of tea, listen once more. Then I get onto the multitrack. I tend to look at the most problematic areas first just to be sure that I can sort them out. If needed I'll do some primary EQ'ing and then a quick rebalance before I make a plan of attack.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My Studio is a hybrid setup with Pro Tools at its core. Stereo up to 7.1.4
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I do a lot of mixing that is specifically tailored for radio airplay. This is a process that is sometimes undertaken along side a radio plugger who can have valuable input on the (desired) direction of the networks. I also do Dolby Atmos mixing (7.1.4)
