Ergosphere Studios on SoundBetter

Enhanced mixing and mastering for modern metal artists who want heavy, clear, release-ready tracks.

I provide enhanced mixing and mastering services for modern metal bands and artists who want their songs to hit hard, translate everywhere, and stand up next to current releases.

I specialize in modern metal, metalcore, deathcore, and progressive metal, focusing on tight editing, powerful low end, clear guitars, and aggressive but controlled mixes.

My process is collaborative. We start by aligning on your vision, references, and goals, then I handle editing, sound design, mixing, and mastering so you can focus on writing and releasing music.

Services include precision editing, custom guitar tones, drum enhancement, atmospheric sound design, post-production elements, and unlimited revisions until the song feels right.

If you have strong ideas but need help turning raw recordings into a finished, release-ready track, I can help.

Contact me through the green button above and let's get to work.

Interview with Ergosphere Studios

Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital. It allows precision, recall, and flexibility, which are essential for modern metal production.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Clear communication, honest feedback, and unlimited revisions until the song feels right.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Helping artists hear their own music the way they imagined it in their head.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: “Will this sound competitive?” Yes, if the material and vision are clear. My job is to make sure the final result translates and stands up next to current releases.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That mixing and mastering alone can fix everything. Strong results come from good performances, solid editing, and clear direction, not plugins.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What references are you aiming for? What do you like and dislike in your current mixes? What stage is the project at and what does “finished” mean to you?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Look for someone who understands your genre and asks the right questions about your goals. Technical skill matters, but communication and alignment matter more.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started as a guitarist and songwriter, then moved into production and engineering as my focus shifted toward shaping complete songs. I’ve been working in music production for more than 10 years, specializing in modern metal.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Modern, heavy, controlled, and detailed. Aggressive when it needs to be, clean when clarity matters.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Any band that values intention and vision over trends. Those projects always lead to the strongest results.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Great mixes start with arrangement and editing. If the song works structurally, the mix becomes much easier and more impactful.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Modern metal, metalcore, deathcore, progressive metal, and related heavy styles.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Translating raw recordings into mixes that feel heavy, controlled, and clear without losing aggression or emotion.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Perspective. I help shape ideas into something focused, powerful, and coherent, while keeping the band’s identity intact. I’m not here to overwrite your music, but to make it hit as hard as it should.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: We start by aligning on references, goals, and the sound you’re aiming for. Then I handle editing, sound design, mixing, and mastering, sharing versions and refining the track through feedback until it matches the vision.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio is built around an efficient, modern metal workflow focused on editing accuracy, mix translation, and fast iteration. The goal is reliability and consistency across systems, not gear for its own sake.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I’m inspired by producers and artists who balance heaviness with clarity and intention. People who understand that impact comes from arrangement, tone choices, and restraint, not just loudness.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I mostly work with modern metal bands who have solid ideas and recordings but need help turning them into cohesive, release-ready songs. That usually involves editing, sound design, mixing, and mastering, often with some production input along the way.
