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.
