Producer/Engineer/Sound Design

Hello, I am John Hegger. I'm a valedictorian of a recording and audio college, with training from Carl Nappa, a multiple Grammy nominated engineer known for his work with Nelly, among other greats. The best thing about myself is my ear. If it sounds right, I'll know it. If not, I'll fix it. I can detect even faint flats and sharps.

I live in the Koreatown area of Los Angeles. While I do not have access to a true recording studio, I am equipped to record a solo vocalist, a small band minus drums, or a podcast. I am a Pro Tools certified user, and thus I know my way around the program very well. I can make tiny edits to make some mistakes go unnoticed, or I can boost part of your sound to increase the tonality. Foremost, however, is recording integrity. I will always go for the best recorded sound before I edit it.

As far as my services, I offer mixing (includes editing and effects), recording (includes basic mixing for balance), and production. I offer a full package, production with mixing, where I help you figure out what direction to take your song in. I negotiate all rates based on an artist's ability; a very good artist pays less because their takes will always sound good, with no overdub needed. I do not punish artists who make mistakes; I will always help you get the best recording possible via coaching, editing, and setup.

I may not be a long time veteran, but if you need a good demo that isn't prohibitively expensive, or just someone to mix your tracks, I am more than capable of doing so.
