Atanas Gospodinov on SoundBetter

1 million YouTube views across 2 channels, thousands of subscribers. 8 albums produced and hundreds of instrumentals available. 10+ years of experience. Combination of powerful and emotional productions/mixdowns/masterings with impactful crisp drums/percussives and captivating deep melodies.

With an experience of 10+ years, I specialize in the audio technical perfection of Hip Hop and subgenres (Drill, Trap, Boom Bap), but I am not limited to it. I am a big fan of engulfing cinematic instrumentals, not only in Hip Hop, but also genres beyond. Passionate about bringing clarity, power and character to any kind of music.

By working very in-depth with my own methods I will give your track all the details and power of your favorite hit records.
I love getting feedback - positive or negative - and we will not stop working and communicating until we found the sound that you wish!

Interview with Atanas Gospodinov

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: My latest project is my alternative YouTube beatmaker channel called DEATHLESS Beats and I am really proud of it because for about 4 months I managed to develop it better than my older channel which was more than 10 years. I created 100+ instrumentals with a lot of traction and with improved sound after each one - all of them with a lot of feedback and impressions from people all over the world.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: A separate cinematic instrumental project.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Personally, not, I do not know anyone, but Mixing, Mastering and Production is a sweet science, so if someone has many satisfied customers and achievements, then it is not possible to not recommend them, depending on your style of course.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital, because currently I cannot afford Analog. However, I pray that one day I will be. I really love all the knobs and buttons and of course, most importantly, the liveliness that analog gear brings to sound.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The Freedom and the purpose.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: They are often interested about the turnaround. Usually, I work quite quickly, because I just love it and can't help giving all of my attention as soon as possible. Of course this comes together with some natural rest, so that I can make the best decision for my production, but in total my turnaround would be 24-48 hrs.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: You tell me, hehe.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: No questions asked. If you are serious about your process and you have chosen me, then it would be impossible to not just blend in and bond.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: I cannot see my own back, but I am a very disciplined multi-faceted individual with a hard-working character. If you are looking for a professional and humane attitude, then let's get linked up! My life has changed for the better and keeps on doing so ONLY because of music - the people I've met, the communities that I'm part of, the places I've seen, the wounds I've healed - I owe all that solely to music.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Yamaha HS8 - that's all xD
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: It all started in a small home set-up with a USB microphone and an old PC with some counterfeit Adobe Audition and some FL Studio.~ 12 years and ~ thousands of projects later, this has grown to the biggest love of my life.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Dark, Engulfing and Impactful
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I have been a musical nerd for as long as I can remember myself. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of artists across many genres that I absolutely dream working with. I can only count a few (mixed genres) - Dead Can Dance, Jedi Mind Tricks, Psycho Realm, Pink Floyd, Throwdown, Terror, Madball, Pantera, Bahramji, TOOL, etc. etc.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Never underestimate the importance of peace of mind! All else comes secondary.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Hip Hop/Cinematic
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Discipline
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Live, Power, Energy and Character
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: A desktop PC with powerful processing and memory - working on Ableton Live with some VSTs for additional quality sauce. I also own Yamaha HS8Beyerdynamic DT 770 PROAudient iD4Novation Impulse 64Rode NT1000Marshall Major IVSound-Proofed/Acoustincally Measured/Treated Studio.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: My life has always been based on music - this is the air that I breathe. For one reason or another, since a very young age, I have been a fan of many (often contradicting) genres, because for me everything has its own place and time for your feelings. Some of my inspirations include Dead Can Dance, Jedi Mind Tricks, Psycho Realm, Pink Floyd, Throwdown, Terror, Madball, Pantera, Bahramji, TOOL and this also encompasses all of their sound qualities (not only the songs).
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Mixing, Mastering, Instrumental Production, Arrangement.
