Michael Mckinnie on SoundBetter

Producer with specialty in dark, moody or heavy tracks. From projects that just need that final percent, to projects that need to be built from the ground up, I will make sure your ideas are executed flawlessly.

Communication is everything. I want to hear about your needs. What music means to you and your vision for yourself and your project. I want to help you find your perfect sound, whether that is slammed and hyper-produced or raw and emotional.

I've been writing, producing, mixing and mastering my own music for 5+ years and am now offering my experience to the public. I started out with a laptop and a dream. Making music that I love and sharing it with the world. My journey has taken me through metal, EDM, pop, orchestral and many strange places in between.

What services I can provide:
- Full score for Film/TV or Video Game implementation
- Production elements for your music Orchestra, Drums, Guitar, Synths etc.
- Songwriting assistance
- Mixing/Mastering

If you choose to work with me, I promise you will receive high quality results from someone who cares about you and your vision and I will offer as many revisions needed to get us there. Please do not hesitate to contact me to see if I am the right fit.

Interview with Michael Mckinnie

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Don't be afraid to back out. Having a conversation doesn't bind you in any contract. Shop around and find the right person for the job. You wouldn't buy the first car you test drove would you?
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Always get your quality from the performance/source. Try not to rely on in-the-box production to get the sound you want.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Communication. It's crucial to understand the people you're working with and to be patient. Everyone's language is a little different and I pride myself on trying to understand the intention and not just the words.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Big ol' computer with an Apollo interface, two Adam A7X monitors and a Impulse 49 Keyboard! Disregard the guitars and miscellaneous gear all around :)
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Christopher Larkin (Hollow Knight) Mick Gordon (Doom) Marcin Przybylowicz (Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077) Erra, Northlane, Spiritbox, Sleeptoken Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, WILLOW, Kendrick Lamar Sungazer, Snarky Puppy, Intervals, Plini Grimes, The 1975, The Neighborhood, Of Monsters and Men
