Tyler Cox on SoundBetter

Producer, engineer, mixer, drummer, guitarist, bassist. I can holler pretty well too if you dig that.

I've been doing music my whole life and started engineering over twenty years ago. Current active projects include my solo project Wrack and drumming for Oakland doom band Abstracter. I love making sick mixes. Get in touch and send me your tracks. I'm available as a session musician on bass, guitar, and drums. I can scream/growl if you like; check out Wrack for an example of my vocals. My specialty is heavy rock/metal, but I'm able to collaborate on just about any genre of popular music.

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

I’m a fan of Tyler’s drumming just based off the work he’s done in his own bands. So i was certain he could handle my project. I love his angular, synchopated style and his ability to internalize and emphatise with my track and vision. He’s done a lot for me to realize the vision for my track, which was particularly mechanical/counterintuitive. I especially appreciate that he’s dived deep into the track and rehearsed to prefect the take. He’s got knowledge of music production so tracks are clean

very talented artist . I was looking for a different feel for my new album and this guy nailed it down perfectly even with a very complicated song. Good communication and very easy to work with.

Tyler is absolute talanted and advanced musician (one could say "jack of all trades"). He did the brilliant bass line and great mixing. The song was not so simple (a lot of instrumental layers and tons of vocal tracks) but he hadled it easy and fast! I have no patient to collaborate with this guy again! Counting the days...

Interview with Tyler Cox

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: The latest Wrack EP "Repulsive Gravity." I wrote, recorded, and mixed this during a period of pandemic seclusion. I played every instrument and sang. This is a very raw and real recording that fans of heavy music should check out.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Playing drums in Oakland doom/black/death band Abstracter
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Heavy, raw, and real
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Remote mixing of songs and records is most common. I've also performed and recorded drums and electric bass tracks for songs that usually have programmed or MIDI placeholders.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Typically in the realm of heavy and weird. But there's a great intersection there with the beautiful. I like dynamics.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I have a strong ear for detail and the tenacity to ensure the entire sonic picture is within the bounds of intention.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I like artists who learn to take control of their own sound and extend their sonic vision into the Production sphere. Leon Macey, Jamie Saint Merat and Misha Mansoor are good examples.
