Superb mix and master! Nate is such a nice guy to work with, very professional and with flawless skills
check_circleVerified2nd time returning to Nate with Progressive House/Trance tracks, and as always, fantastic job tailoring the mastering to the genre and style/instrumentation of each track.
In the process, also gave me advice on the mix for one of the more sonically complex tracks which was very helpful in bringing out the punchy-ness, clarity and energy in preparation for the mastering.
check_circleVerifiedGreat communication with Nate and prompt delivery of the track. I would definitely recommend and work with again. He nailed it first try, he’s the engineer and remixer I’ve been looking for. First class!

Recently got my EP mastered by Nate.
I was extremely happy with the turnover time and the results, showing me a new love for the tracks.
Nate stayed true to the original mixes and subtly enhanced them where required, bringing out the energy it needed, removing all doubts I had prior to his masters.Will definitely be a returning/loyal client.

check_circleVerifiedNate is a beast! He was an amazing engineer and very patient with me. I'll be returning to him once the other tracks are finished!
check_circleVerifiedI asked him to mastering of the 80s discotheque song this time.
He works fast and I'm satisfied with the result.- check_circleVerified
A++ Spent extra time making sure I was satisfied with the end result. Would recommend!
check_circleVerifiedGreat working with Nate again!
check_circleVerifiedNate provided outstanding service and responsiveness. He's willing to go the extra mile and will happily answer any technical questions you might have. His reputation as Protoculture speaks for itself - hire him and you won't be let down!

Another awesome project done with Nate! Great to work with!
check_circleVerifiedNate is one of the world's elite Trance producers/engineers. He mastered my tune to be much louder, brighter, and punchier than I could. He provided a very quick turn around and was really easy to communicate with :)
- check_circleVerified
It is always a pleasure working with Nate. He is extremely talented, a great communicator, and very diligent when it comes to due dates and turn around time. Highly recommended.
- check_circleVerified
I highly recommend Nate. His work speaks for itself. He knew exactly what was needed to add some extra polish to my mix and delivered an outstanding master. Not only is he an superb engineer, but his communication is top notch and his turn around time is unbeatable. 5 stars.

Nate has done a fantastic job with my music. The track sounds perfect, much better than I thought it could. Also gave me great advice, and easy to communicate. I look forward to working together on future tracks.

Interview with Nate Raubenheimer
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work mainly ITB these days having sold off a lot of my outboard. With my tour schedule it pays to be able to go mobile with the studio set up hence most work gets done on my MacBook under Cubase Pro 9.5. My primary tools for mixing consist of Plugin Alliance, Sound Toys, Eventide plugins.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Predominantly mixing and mastering work to help clients add that professional polish to their mixes. I'm also extremely versatile, especially when writing dance music and have completed a number of tracks for clients which have gone on to be signed with major labels. I'm also a sound designer, most recently being commissioned to design presets for Brainworx and Knif Audios synths, Sonic Academy's ANA 2 Synthesizer as well as factory soundbanks for various UVI instruments.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My Herman Miller Aeron chair (no seriously, I spend hours sitting in this thing, its literally my favourite piece of 'gear' in the studio), a pair of Genelec 8040a's (I've worked on genius for 16 years and know them inside out), Black Box Designs HG-2 (Makes everything sound fantastic, seriously), my trusty MacBook running Cubase, Sound Toys Echoboy (I think this is the best delay plugin ever made... I use it in every project)
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been working in the industry as a producer and performing artist since 2002 after completing studies in Audio Engineering. I've toured extensively internationally over the past 16 years and released well over a 100 singles and 4 albums in that time.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I always list BT as one of my biggest influences... not only do I love the music, he's also an extremely talented producer as well as a serious tech head and gear nerd :)
