I’m Max Gilbert — audio engineer, producer, and session/live gig drum player trained at Dark Horse Institute. Multi-genre but rooted in country, R&B, and hip-hop. I blend analog warmth with modern clarity to deliver mixes that hit hard, feel alive, and sound radio-ready.
I’m Max Gilbert — an audio engineer, producer, and session/live gig drum player trained at Dark Horse Institute in Franklin, TN. I work across multiple genres but specialize in country, R&B, and hip-hop, blending the heart of live instrumentation with the precision of modern production.
My goal is simple: to make your music sound real, dynamic, and emotionally powerful. I focus on warm, balanced mixes that hit with clarity and depth—capturing the soul of country, the groove of R&B, and the punch of hip-hop.
Whether you need professional mixing, mastering, vocal production, or live drum tracking, I bring a seasoned ear and a collaborative mindset to every project. I love helping artists translate their sound into something that feels both polished and authentic—ready for release, playlists, and live performance.
