Endorse Levi Lane

by Sean Grady
Levi did a fantastic job making several songs for my stream. Very communicative, easy to work with, and receptive to feedback. His creative touches were amazing, weaving melodies in between sounds and beats that I requested and adding different parts that I didn't know I needed until I heard them. He made a saxophone out of my voice based on some sounds I sent over for him to use in one of the songs! Very fun. Can't say enough good about him, but just know that he's worth his weight in gold. You won't be disappointed!

Levi is a true professional when it comes to production, mixing, and mastering. I've had the privilege of having him provide these services on multiple occasions and would absolutely recommend him.

Interview with Levi Lane

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I signed a track to deadmau5's record label mau5trap and produced, mixed and mastered it!
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: A 10 song album for my main client and a 3 song EP for another client.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: forsetî is an incredible producer, and I would recommend them for any electronic production or mixing needs!
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. Never restrict yourself to only one thing. Go back and forth and resample them against each-other.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: The job will get done with a passionate attention to quality and being unique.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The ability to show someone's strongest abilities and personality through art. I love helping the world get to know someone through music.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: They ask me if certain tracks of theirs work together well and how to organize it into bodies of work. I often give them options and try to find out which projects are similar and can best target a demographic.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That the process is naturally quick. My process is quick because I've refined it over many years and jobs.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What is your audience? What is your career trajectory? Who are your inspirations?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Don't settle for someone that mimics. Find someone that brings out your uniqueness and what makes you special.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Moog Matriarch, a computer with Ableton Live, the biggest speakers I'm allowed, Ableton Push, and something to DJ with.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been professionally working music for over 10 years. I have a degree in music production from Northwest University.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Like an earworm you can't get out of your head.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Charli XCX and MIA because they both have cut through the industry with their own unique sound that is so iconic. I would love to bring my flair to their sounds and see what happens.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Keep diving deeper into sound design. Never be satisfied with presets. Make it unique and your own.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Electronic (House, Techno, Bass) Pop (Hyperpop, Singer-Songwriter, Hip Hop) Film Music (Sync, Custom Scoring, and Trailers)
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Songwriting through Production. Production isn't just assembling a puzzle that is pre-made. It changes the final product so much. It is more like designing a puzzle that takes the person solving it the perfect amount of time to solve.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring the outlook of "How would a random listener view this, and would they find it enjoyable?" to all my work. It's important to be immediately recognizable and catchy but subtle and develop the idea at the right pace.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Create a hook or something that will get stuck in peoples minds, even if it's subtle. Then build the track around that, and add little ear candy around a solid structure.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Custom build PC running Ableton Live Suite. I have excellent reference monitors (Dynaudio LYD8 and sub) in a treated room. Lots of guitar pedals and synths for achieving an analog sound. Komplete Ultimate for my sound library and many, many mixing/mastering plugins.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: deadmau5, Skrillex, Hans Zimmer are all inspirations because they are unique and don't want things to fit into little boxes with labels. They are trend setters and work to have a distinct sound. I strive for this in all my productions.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I take an idea (demo track or acoustic guitar/piano and vocal track) and create a full production. Edit and tune vocals, and mix and master. It's a beginning to end process.
