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.
