Derek Linzy on SoundBetter

2× Grammy-nominated producer/engineer | Former Audio Engineer/Producer for Prince at Paisley Park Studios | Pro Tools Certified Instructor | Educator in Recording Arts, Mixing, and Music Production I help artists and producers fix what’s holding their mix back in real time through live Zoom sessions inside Pro Tools and Logic Pro.

I specialize in live mix and production consulting sessions for Pro Tools and Logic Pro users who want clearer, more professional-sounding records. Instead of guessing what’s wrong or relying on repeated mix revisions, we work together in real time to diagnose issues, improve production decisions, and fix problems directly inside your session.

As a Pro Tools Certified Instructor and multi-instrumentalist, I don’t just adjust mixes—I help you understand why your track isn’t translating and how to consistently fix it moving forward.

My background also includes work with artists such as Coolio, Chuck D (Public Enemy), Adina Howard, Crucial Conflict, Bushwick Bill (Geto Boys), and production for television projects including Oxygen Channel and The Rickey Smiley Show.

You don’t need more mix revisions—you need clarity on what’s actually going wrong in your session. I bring Grammy-nominated experience, Pro Tools certification, and real-world engineering and production work at Paisley Park Studios with Prince into live, hands-on Zoom sessions where we fix problems at the source.

Derek is so talented, patient, understanding and creative. Recently I had the pleasure to work with him on one of my project and he gave me a masterpiece. He only needs a little description of your idea, he gets it real quick and captures your idea so well. 💯 honest when I say I will be coming to him for all of my future projects. Thank you so much🙏🏼🙏🏼

Derek is an extraordinary artist and producer. We asked him to create a soundscape for a unique and dramatic song — we couldn’t have been happier with the results.

Besides having an awesome sound arsenal and first-rate studio, Derek possesses an extremely rare talent: he listens carefully. He took our half-baked ideas and transformed them into a fresh and modern arrangement — it was masterful.

If you need something unique and extremely well-crafted, choose Derek…you won't regret it.
