Almark on SoundBetter

Your music will sound like you, with 24 years of mixing and mastering, professional quality is the #1 goal. Will work with artist daily until music is complete.

As an electronic artist, starting in 1998, using DOS software, Fasttracker II, to form his electronic abstract sound. Almark by the year 2000 began using software such as Cooledit Pro, Samplitude Producer, Reaper to help form his craft in mixing and mastering, later settling in Ableton live, Cubase, etc.

By learning how to mix from years of study by simply experiencing both his own music and others, the quality is unique as well as professional every time.

By working with the artist until both sides are happy with the results, audio is above all the most important aspect to any mix, making sure your music sounds like you in the end.

Taking the approach that digital music can sound warm as well as have an analog quality to them.
Almark has worked with indie professional artists since 2014, and is owner and founder of the movement #WEATNU with its label WEATNU Records.

Mixing, mastering, sound restoration are all offered via Studio SynthoElectro.
A mix that is balanced is key to a proper sound overall.

Endorse Almark

by Sound Engraver
Almark has mastered for me 4 albums, 1 EP, and a handful of single tracks. He is the go-to for mastering electronic music. Not only does he show extreme care in the details, he's patient with the artist's feedback. He makes sure you're happy with the final master. And his timing on sending back mixes is great. I've talked with other engineers in the profession, and I'll recommend Almark every time.

Almark mastered an album for my group Shadows and Mirrors titled Video Girl in 2017. He maintained excellent communication throughout and made sure I was happy with the final product. Highly recommended!

I have turned to Almark for a number of projects. This guy definitely knows what he's doing and you can have confidence in his work and masters. Almark will often do multiple masters of the same track to reference slightly different feel in the audio, which I really like. Almark ensures each master fits the artists specifications but also uses his skills and audio knowledge to bring out the best in the final product.

Highly professional with great communication. Highly recommended!

I had found Almark through various music venues, and asked him to help me with the mastering of my album, after I had mixed it. He was very easy to work with, did an excellent job, and always let me make the decision that best suited my needs. Almark is someone you can completely trust!!

I've turned to Almark multiple times and always felt very comfortable with every interaction, his software equipment and deep knowledge of sound waves. We often discussed about different solutions for the outcomes of songs and in many occasions I got a selection of final mastering to choose from. I find him competent, passionate about music and truly committed to every job he does. He’s also accurate and precise in his work which he manages to deliver fast and easy. My albums and singles sound solid thanks to his expertise and always satisfied with the result. Highly recommended.

Interview with Almark

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Years ago I worked with a German artist named Lie Craze, her album was lost due to an artist she worked with who dropped her and left everything in scattered about. Mixes were bad, mp3s were left as the only way to get some songs to work right. It took a while but after putting it all together and mixing and remastering bad mixes, the album turned out to be a real thing of beauty, it's an electro pop album and I'm very proud to have worked with her on it.
