Stephen Nicholls on SoundBetter

> I’m Steve Nicholls — a seasoned mixing/mastering engineer and multi-instrumentalist with 25+ years of experience in rock, metal, punk, pop rock, and country. I specialize in tracks driven by real instruments and raw energy. If you want your song to hit hard, sound clean, and keep its soul, I’ve got you covered.

Michigan-based producer, multi-instrumentalist, and mixing/mastering engineer with over 25 years in the music industry. I specialize in mixing rock, metal, country, hip-hop, and cinematic tracks with depth, grit, and emotion. Whether you're looking for polished radio-ready production or raw underground vibes, I’ve got the ears, gear, and instinct to get you there.

I’ve played and produced everything from guitar-heavy alt rock to banjo-led country ballads, and I know how to make each element hit hard without losing the soul of your song. I mix in Cubase 12 Pro with a suite of top-tier plugins (FabFilter, Mastering The Mix, and Ozone), and I bring the same care to every client project that I bring to my own releases.

Need someone who can bring your track across the finish line? Or maybe just a killer guitar solo, a solid drum performance, or full mastering? Let’s work. Your sound deserves to hit the way you hear it in your head — and I can help make that happen.
