Jamie Pullen on SoundBetter

Mix/ Recording Engineer + Producer with work featured on BBC Introducing. Voiceover engineering work has featured on Channel 4 + The Discovery Channel. I understand the amount of care we have towards our projects. When mixing, producing, or editing, I will do all I can to capture the feel and emotion, in ways that line up with your vision.

Hi, I hope you're well. My name is Jamie Pullen and I'm a mix engineer, recording engineer and music producer based in the South Coast (UK). There's nothing I love more than spending my time making and playing music.

I grew up on rock, hip hop, pop and metal to name only a few, and it was discovering artists such as Portugal. The Man, The Raconteurs, MF DOOM, Lorde and Earl Sweatshirt which made me realise that music was where I wanted to focus all of my time and energy.

When I'm not engineering I spend my time making beats and playing in my own band with four of my best friends. Because of this I understand how much work goes into getting an artist or band up and running. Therefor I make it my aim to be flexible and facilitating with artists of all sizes and experience, and do my best to adapt to a schedule and budget that works for you.

All in all my goal is to do whatever I can to help create music that we love. I want to get the most out of our remote sessions, so we can keep enjoying what we do, which happens to be the best thing, making music.

Thanks for checking my profile, feel free to get in touch to discuss any potential projects, questions or to just talk music.

Cheers,
Jamie

I worked with Jamie on a little outro cover I liked and had a very pleasant experience. He helped me a lot with the recording process, bringing my ideas to life and even having his own input to get the best out of the session and my own ability. It was a very calm and positive environment open to creativity which made the experience more enjoyable. I then left him with the mixing which was fast but efficient so I knew he’d given the attention to detail I wanted for the project, without making me wait for too long. I would recommend Jamie to anyone wanting a good quality, relaxed service

Interview with Jamie Pullen

Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Hearing new music! There's nothing like the feeling of discovering a new track you love, and then getting to be a part of making it sound as good as you can!
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: If you've got lots/ any questions, ask away. I know how much we care about our music, therefor it's important you're really happy with whoever you choose to work with on your projects. Finding a good fit is such a great thing.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My Soundcraft Ghost Console, EHX little big muff, (sounds incredible on the Korg Minilogue synth), my protools rig, my keyboard rig... (cheating I know), and finally my HS8 monitors, been using and loving them for years.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been recording my own music since about 2015. I then studied audio engineering in College, back in 2018-2020. One of my tutors owned a studio, so I started covering shifts at his spot back in 2019, where I still work now and run the place when he's off touring. It's been during my time at this studio where I started bringing in my own clients, and working on projects that really excite me.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: If they were still about... The White Stripes, so much raw energy, so cool.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: When the song is ready for the mix, and I've spoken with the client about their vision, I'll always start by listening to the references, the rough, or getting a quick 20 minute balance using broad strokes of almost only volume and pan. It's during this stage where I start to really learn the nuances of the track, and hear what I need to be doing. From then onwards I dive into the details using all the tools at my disposal to get the song sounding as good as I can.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My home studio setup is a hybrid one, making the most out of my protools rig, with a hefty amount of plugins, whilst still incorporating my beloved outboard and Soundcraft Ghost Console on a lot of mixes. Although a console is not a necessity in this modern age, I adore a hands on approach, using gear with a little character. It's a console that always makes me want to be making music. I also spend time at a couple of other commercial spots around Brighton, but almost all of my mixing these days is done here at my home.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Discovering Portugal. The Man and all the artists that inspired them in my early teenage years is what made me realise that I have to work in music, or at the very least, constantly be making music. I love mixers such as Manny Marroquin, Andy Wallace and Vance Powell, and I'm really loving producers such as 9th wonder and the Alchemist at the moment, what they've been doing over the years is really incredible.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Most of my work consists of mixing, recording, editing and producing all sorts of music. This goes from folk acts, through hip-hop all the way to rock and metal. I also make and sell beats.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Depends on what I'm working on! I love an aggressive rock mix, I love an intimate, dynamic singer/songwriter mix. If it sounds good it is good.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: "this one goes up to 11..."
