Nigel Rome on SoundBetter

I'm interested in artists with stories to tell and I'm committed turning them into songs. I will produce, mix, master, and write for you.

I'm a hard working and quirky producer, engineer, and songwriter. I'm not looking for 'clients', I'm looking for people to make music with. I started writing songs at the age of 10 (and poetry slightly later) and eventually started to learn about production and I can work in Pro Tools, Ableton Live and FL Studio but I can still work with people using other DAWs as long as they send me the necessary audio files.

Your music means a lot to you and I'm here to help you turn it into something great.

Send a message, we can talk, ask as many questions as you want (seriously, as many as you want) and we can see if we're on the same page.

Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.

I worked with Nigel on two projects - part of a beat for a track that I was writing, and he provided mixing and mastering for a piano and vocal track that I did. Nigel is an excellent communicator, especially considering that we were working remotely. I am very appreciative and happy with the quality of the work I received back!

Nigel was amazing to work with, he has a knack for creating vivid and unique lyrics. He was so professional and I'd love to work with him again.

Interview with Nigel Rome

Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Every book I've read, every tutorial that I've watched and most importantly, that musical moment that I find inside myself and inside whoever I'm working with.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Split the mid/side of your tracks and automate the volumes or just use a stereo imager. You are so so welcome.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I'm flexible but alternative, pop, R&B, hip-hop, and soul mostly.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I have more free revisions then anyone I've seen on this site, I want to give you everything that I have because I know that your music is the world to you and I can relate.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Music all day! I'm not good at other of things.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Them: Can you make this sound? Me: Done!
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That I have a good answer to that question (I don't)... I guess that I don't like people, I love people, it just has to be someone you can relate to.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Can you do this or that? You'd be surprised, I don't specialise in dubstep for example, but I could.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Don't worry about if you're wasting my time, ask me a hundred questions and even if you don't work with me, I'm still happy because I got to talk about music. I don't know about the other people on here.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Laptop, headphones, audio interface and mic. Just those four, if you can't work with the least, you'll never know how to do the most.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I taught myself, I started writing at 10, learnt more and more from every source possible.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I have no style, I'm not a cool kid. But musically I push boundaries.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Adele... Are you really going to ask why?
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Finding great ideas that some people can't see.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: As soon as it's a routine, it feels less artistic so I chase inspirational moments in the music, one leads to another and before you know it, we've made art.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: It's effective, there are countless million-dollar record deal albums being made in home studios (seriously, just Google it) so I'm not after things that I don't need right now. I have a laptop, some great headphones and monitors, a mic, an interface, a MIDI controller and an assortment of amazing plugins.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Adele, The Weeknd, James Brown, Arethra Franklin, Ariana Grande, Michael Jackson, Lorde, Beyonce, Major Lazer, CHVRCHES... We'll be here all day if you let me go on.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: A lot of people will ask either for production or songwriting, it's hardly ever both at the same time.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: My first beat, it was awful but it was mine and it was the moment that gave birth to all the other moments.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Projects for some great artists!
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Me... I'm just gonna say that like I'm kidding and not have a follow-up answer, I have no shame.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both, you realise that instead of arguing about which to use, you could actually just make music?
