Carlos Mena on SoundBetter

You need bass that feels right, locks perfectly, and shows up ready for the mix. I’m Carlos Mena, a NYC-based session bassist delivering electric and upright bass for film, TV, video games, and recording projects—on time, in tune, and production-ready.

I help composers, producers, and artists get clean, reliable, great-feeling low end that supports the music and translates in the mix. I’m fully comfortable working to click, tempo maps, cues, and charts, and I deliver tight, mix-ready stems with fast turnaround. Whether the project calls for subtle underscore, cinematic depth, or groove-driven tracks, my focus is always on serving the music and the production.

My experience includes Broadway, studio sessions, remote recording, and live performance, and I regularly work across cinematic, pop, jazz-influenced, Latin, contemporary, and hybrid orchestral styles. I record from a professional home studio and communicate clearly throughout the process to make collaboration easy and efficient.

Reliable, detail-oriented, and producer-friendly — I aim to make your session smooth and your track sound better.

    If you need arrangements, or bass or guitar played on your track Carlos is your guy. He arranged a variety of songs for me in the most rich and flexible way imaginable. You can ask him to make your song sound like any style you point at and Carlos will render it.
    I definitely recommend his services while I'll keep commissioning him works for myself.
