Randy Nieto on SoundBetter

Mixing and mastering that brings your sound, thoughts, and ideas to life.

Your music deserves to be more than just heard, it should be remembered. I help artists, producers, and labels transform raw tracks into release ready records that hit hard, sound clear, and feel alive. With mixing that gives every element its perfect place, from tight drums and full low-end to detailed highs and vocals that cut through, and mastering that delivers commercial loudness while preserving dynamics and consistency across platforms, your sound will stand out professionally. Every mix and master is custom-tailored to your unique style, no generic presets, plus fast delivery and unlimited revisions to ensure it's exactly what you want. If you want your music to sound polished, powerful, and pro-leveled, I'm here to help bring your vision to life. Let's collaborate and create something special.

Interview with Randy Nieto

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I had just 2 weeks to record, produce, mix and master a song from scratch for my capstone at Full Sail University. Me and my band worked day and night and got it done within a week.
