Raymond on SoundBetter

I'm a producer & beat creator from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I have done multiple big pop productions as well as beats for rappers and other artists.

I am a music producer, remixer, and ghost producer who can turn your demo, into a radio ready record, or turn your single into a professional remix!

I have experience in pop, EDM, and hip hop/rap beats & productions but have contributed to projects of various genres. Feel free to reach out to me for further information as I am flexible with both pricing and services.

I specialize in a number of different things, mainly:

- producing, especially turning your ideas into a real song
- beat creation, with over producing more then 200 beats a year I'm more then sure I can help you with your next rap song (afrotrap, trap, drill, chill vibe etc.)
- ghost producing, I have a lot of experience with ghost producing in the EDM scene
- remixing, I can turn your song into a great remix with refreshing sounds

I love to work with a briefing/demo of your idea, but starting from scratch is also totally fine.

I am very quick and can turn around a full production in a few days if need be. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have and I look forward to collaborating with you :)

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

Interview with Raymond

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I did some great songs with a upcoming pop artist Larakay as her main producer. I am working with her for the past 5 years and we really managed to create an own sound.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Most of the times Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Planning to go to Los Angeles later this year.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I have to go with digital since I'm most of the time working in just Ableton. I'm saving up some money for some cool analog synths though!
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: That I will go for the best possible result.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The freedom and all the nice people I meet in my career.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: How long does it usually takes to make a production/beat? As long as necessary, until you are happy ;-)
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: I think most people don't realize how much time goes into music production and how many years of experience you need to find your own sound.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Tell me more about your project, the vibe of the song/EP/album and some reference tracks or demo's would be great!
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Tell the provider as much as possible about your project. In most cases this leads to the best result.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Macbook Pro, Focal Studio Headphones, Apollo Twin, Genelec 8040's and a generator to power all of that I guess ;-)
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started as a DJ on weddings and small parties when I was a little kid, when I was 14 (12 years ago) I started making music in FL studio. A couple years later I started working in Ableton and went to the Herman Brood Academy.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Unique with catchy sounds
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Central Cee (love that UK sound)
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Don't force anything, just go with the flow and be creative!

A: Pop and hip hop/rap beats.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Being fast when needed to and being able to perform under pressure.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: A lot of inspiration and good vibes, during the past 10 years I created my own sound.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Most of the times I start a song with some basic melodies just to set the vibe. Then I will add drums for the bounce and later on I will start adding and changing sounds
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Currently I'm using my Apollo Twin with Genelec 8040 monitors when I'm in my own studio. On the road I love to work on my Focal studio headphones.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Mac Miller, I love the fact he could produce his own beats, play a wide variety of instruments and was a master in writing great lyrics.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I do a lot of pop productions lately as well as beats for rappers.
