Jan Ilgner on SoundBetter

Passionate mixing focused on bringing out the emotions in your song.

I am a mixing and mastering engineer based in Münster, Germany. During my time in the Netherlands, I studied engineering and production. After learning all about the technical side of music, I started building my own studio in 2019 to work with artists and focus more on the emotional side of mixing and mastering.

Besides checking off the technical aspects, for me, the number one reason to hire an external mixer is to further enhance your creative and artistic vision. With the help of an extra pair of ears in a well-treated room, we can really work on conveying the feeling of your song and performance to the listener, making your music that much more engaging and relatable.

In the studio, I work in a hybrid fashion, treating your recordings with care while giving them their final polish.

Jan is exceptionally talented at what he does and he is incredibly easy to work with. He’s one of the few mixing and mastering engineers that I can fully trust with my sound.

So far, Jan has mixed and mastered five of my songs and I’ve never had any problem with any. The most recent song “Real Talk” has been getting a lot of great feedback especially about the quality of the mix. That’s all thanks to Jan.

If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your music and delivers at a high level, I highly recommend Jan!

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Jan for the past three years, and his contribution has been invaluable to us. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to grow our YouTube channel to several thousand subscribers.

Jan is incredibly skilled — he makes your voice sound like a pro and has an impressive ability to enhance and even rescue recordings that seemed beyond repair. I always look forward to hearing his mixes; they never fail to impress.

I can wholeheartedly recommend working with him.

Jan is truly passionate about what he does. He approaches the mixing process with both creativity and attention to detail. In the project we worked on, he managed to capture not just the technical side but also the emotional essence of the song. His communication was excellent, which made the whole process really enjoyable for me.
The result exceeded my expectations, and I honestly can’t wait to work with him again!
