Hello everyone, my name is Ahmed Baatout, but you can call me AB. I'm a freelance music producer and audio engineer from Tunisia, currently residing in Mississauga, Canada. My expertise lies in songwriting, recording, and mixing. Recently, I've also been involved in post-production and editing vocals for podcasts.
I'm very passionate about music and audio, holding a diploma in audio production and engineering from Metalworks Institute. I'm always eager to team up with talented artists to create outstanding art. While I mainly work from my small personal studio, I also utilize professional studios with mixing consoles and analog equipment to give mixes a unique character and sound.
I have a keen understanding of how a song should sound and strive to help it reach its full potential. Additionally, I produce instrumentals and hip hop beats which are available if needed. I enjoy collaborating closely with artists to develop their distinctive sound.
In my mixes, my top priority is client satisfaction and delivering the highest quality sound that meets your expectations. I guarantee your satisfaction, and if there are any adjustments needed, I am more than willing to revise the mix until it's perfect for you.
Tell me about your project and how I can help, through the 'Contact' button above.
