Igor 'almost real' Shin on SoundBetter

19 years of experience | 20+ five-star SoundBetter reviews | Credits include BONES, Chris Travis, OmenXIII, Leonid Agutin, Shy, Devin Will, Braxton Knight, i61, Boulevard Depo and White Punk.

I started making music when I was 15, and for the past 19 years I have worked continuously to improve my craft as a mixing engineer, producer, and musician.

Before becoming an engineer, I was an artist myself, so I understand the creative process from both sides: creating music and helping other artists bring their ideas to life. My experience as a producer and teacher has also helped me understand the challenges artists face while developing their own sound.

Sometimes the things artists consider imperfections are actually the elements that make their music unique. With experience, you learn that a great idea can be hidden behind technical limitations. My job is to help artists recognize that potential and bring it into reality.

I specialize in hip-hop and rap, with a focus on creating clear, powerful mixes while keeping the character and emotion of each track.

Typical turnaround time is 3–7 days, depending on the project. When contacting me, please include your genre, number of stems, references (if any), and any important details about your project.

I also compose original music and create soundtracks for video games and multimedia projects, including the Japanese visual novel Kidnapped Girl, available on Steam.

    Great response time throughout entire process, especially during mixing stage when every detail counts! Was able to take what I put down in words and turn it into reality with both instrumentation and vocal audio effects.

    High quality of work, very professional and timely. Also personable and easy to work with.

    Amazing guy. Really great to work with, I had a few issues with uploading my tracks for mix and he helped me all the way. Most importantly too the final product sounds great and he was more than happy to accommodate to my suggestions and requests.
