Ben Hardie on SoundBetter

Great communication, friendly and ready to work!

I’m an Australian mixing engineer, musician and songwriter with over 15 years of experience working across live sound, studio production, television and touring. I currently work professionally with The Wiggles as a sound engineer and production specialist, with credits spanning recording, mixing, post-production, camera operation and songwriting.

My credits include recording and mixing work across numerous Wiggles albums, TV productions and live projects, including a professional songwriting credit on “Dorothy Doll” from Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!.

My passion is working with songwriters, bands, composers and artists across Blues, Rock, Country, Metal and Pop. Alongside mixing and mastering, I also offer acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass and vocal recording services for artists looking to bring their songs to life with real musicianship and feel.

I pride myself on strong communication, a professional work ethic and delivering mixes and performances that serve the song.

Every project starts with a conversation about your vision. What are you aiming for? Are there any artists, tones or productions you love? Once I understand the direction, I can help shape your track into something special.

Whether you need a full mix, mastering, guitar layers, bass, vocals or all of the above, no project is too big or too small. Feel free to get in touch.
