Derek M Brown on SoundBetter

I'm a composer and multi-instrumentalist with over twenty years of experience in audio engineering and music production, and I approach every project from each of these perspectives, not merely as a technician. I particularly love working with singer-songwriters and rock bands.

Some of my qualifications include a degree from SAE Institute of Technology in Audio Engineering & Music Production, Waves mastering certification, certification from the University of Edinburgh in music theory, and completion of the Music Theory for Producers course from Abbey Road Studios.

While I mainly work with singer-songwriters and rock bands, my hybrid approach--which relies heavily on outboard analog gear for tracking, mixing, and mastering--imparts a warmth and depth that flatters every genre.

    I have recorded multiple times with Derek over many years and have been exceedingly pleased with the results. He finds ways to bring out the best in my songwriting, and when I record with Derek he elevates my recording performance by encouraging me to give more emotion and passion, helping me to grow as a performer and artist. His unique style of engineering and arrangement brought my songs to another level. His studio has the old school analog style reel recordings, every song he has produced for me sounds exactly how I wanted it to! Warm
    Derek is also kind, easy going, patient, and driven!
