Derek M on SoundBetter

Hey, I'm Derek—a Minneapolis-based audio engineer and lifelong punk/rock musician. I've spent years playing in bands, recording bands (live and in studio), mixing, composing, and a bit of mastering.

From my home studio in Minneapolis, I provide professional remote mixing with a musician's ear for clarity, depth, cohesion, and impact. I focus on bringing out the best fidelity hiding in your unmixed tracks.
I will work with you and specialize in making even the roughest and less than ideal recordings sound musical and a treat to the ear.

What to expect:

Fast, reliable turnarounds (varies by project/package)
3 revisions total—we finalize within them
Final files in high-quality WAV or AIFF (lossless) + MP3
Clear communication throughout—reference tracks welcome to match your vision

I’m passionate about helping artists and bands achieve professional-sounding results that stay true to their creative intent. Message me with your stems, references, or questions—let’s get your music ready to share with the world.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.
