yougene on SoundBetter

I thoroughly enjoy mixing/mastering and I'm learning and taking in feedfack from any source I can fin. Most of my experience comes from mixing Church projects so I'm very familiar with Worship Music. I will try my best to get your mix to sound as close as possible to your requests!

I'm an aspiring mixing and mastering engineer trying to get exposure and experience to hone my craft. My goal is not to make money from this but to gain knowledge and experience through taking on projects outside of my comfort zone. So do give me a chance to work with you and I'll try my best to meet your needs to the best of my abilities!

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
