Gene on SoundBetter

I mix like an artist — and master like an assassin

I’m Gene — LA-based mixing & mastering engineer, guitarist and a voting member of the Recording Academy.
I specialize in heavy music: modern metalcore, post-hardcore, alternative metal, djent and aggressive rock.

My approach is simple: translate your emotion + your identity into a polished, punchy, loud but musical final mix that stands next to major label releases.

What you get working with me

competitive, high-impact mixes that hit hard on streaming platforms

clarity, width, depth, and modern low-end management

optimized vocal presence (aggressive or airy — whichever serves the song)

radio/playlist-ready masters that don’t lose dynamics

fast communication + artist-friendly revisions

Why artists choose me

I’m a real artist myself (Next Door To Heaven) — I understand songwriting, arrangement, riff weight, and vocal emotion

I know how heavy music should feel when it hits

I treat every song like a release — not “just another file”

If you have a reference track for the sonic direction — even better. Tell me what you love in those mixes, and I’ll match the energy + quality to your own identity.

Let’s make your track sound like it truly belongs in today’s heavy scene.
