Austin Bridge on SoundBetter

Commercial studio trained mix engineer, producer, and songwriter specializing in worship, folk acoustic, and rock.

Professionally trained at Dark Horse Recording in Franklin, TN as a studio recording and mix engineer. I can remotely help with music production, writing, and song mixing.

West Virginia native and love all things authentic and folk. I have been playing drums since an early age and have been playing acoustic guitar and bass for over a decade. Songwriting is my passion that fuels helping other artists get to the story behind the lyrics. I work mostly in the folk/acoustic and worship space, though I have interest in almost any genre. Who doesn't love a good shoegaze jam?

- Every project is unique and can require different schedules and rates to serve each one in the best way possible. I give and receive feedback openly and view music production as a collaborative process.

- My mixing rate includes a 44.1k 24bit unmastered stereo mix WAV file. A typical song will, of course, need to be refined until we hit gold! To keep projects on schedule, I have a time limit of 30 business days from delivery of first pass.

-I can provide mixed stems for $25/song. A stereo master would be an additional $75/song. Alternative mix options can be delivered for an added cost.

- I am open to a discounted rate for multiple-song projects. Please reach out to discuss the details of what you need done and develop a working relationship!
