Fred Davies on SoundBetter

I strive to bring classic album sounds to your music, giving it the bite and soul that it deserves. My mixes have obtained radio play, and I have much experience playing, recording and mixing a wide variety of genres.

Learning through hands-on experience of live and studio recording, I am well equipped to lean into any recording's unique character and make it shine, using techniques and plug-ins emulating the great records of the 1960s and 1970s. I wear my influences on my sleeve, as this makes it clear to any potential clients if I would be a good fit for them, as shared passion is vital for a great-sounding product in this industry. My greatest experience so far has been with 'Plant Species', of which I am also a member, as this has given me insight into all aspects of the creative process and allowed for maximal experimentation with my processes, which are now refined to best translate the sounds that drive my passion for mixing, those of vintage classic rock. These records have a gritty edge unmatched today that very effectively puts you in the room with the band, hearing the instruments start to break up as the playing becomes lively, and likewise clean and mellow in quieter sections.
I will aim to capture these sounds for you in my mixes, using high-quality tape and console emulations to add subtle character and saturation to your multitrack before I even start sculpting the sound.
