Andrzej Hardie-Douglas

Remote Mixing Engineer

Andrzej Hardie-Douglas on SoundBetter

Hey. I specialise in Acoustic/Singer-Songwriter stuff. Either you're happy with my mix or you don't pay! :)

I am a graduate of Sound Engineering and Production at the Birmingham City University.

My journey with mixing started when I first learned how to play electric guitar. At some point, I decided that I should probably study sound production and do it for a living. I have always loved the singer-songwriter stuff, but can also mix any rock related genres. I am still relatively new to the game, but I promise to make your records as good as I possibly can.

Every mixer has its own style and I love clean and big mixes with a variety of reverbs sounding throughout the song. I believe I can help you achieve the much needed coherence in your productions.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

Interview with Andrzej Hardie-Douglas

  1. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  2. A: I have finished BSc Sound Engineering and Production in 2016. However, I have been mixing music since 2011.

  3. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  4. A: At the moment digital. It is portable and I like the ability of total recall.

  5. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  6. A: What do you expect from me? What type of sound do you aim for? Who recorded your tracks and how?

  7. Q: How would you describe your style?

  8. A: Open and clean. Probably contemporary. I am learning how to add more 'dirt' to the mix.

  9. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  10. A: John Mayer. I admire his songwriting skills.

  11. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  12. A: Do not be afraid to add significant amounts of bass to the mix. Especially if you come from electric guitar 'background'.

  13. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  14. A: If the stems are of great quality then I only add 'the extra spark'. If there are other problems I will try to fix them first.

  15. Q: What's your typical work process?

  16. A: Chop the stems, make the song balanced in terms of EQ and tracks volume, add effects then tweak the parameters. Repeat for as long as necessary! :D

  17. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  18. A: I mix exclusively in the box using Logic Pro X and various plugins. For monitoring I use Adam Audio S3A and Sonodyne SM 50AK.

  19. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  20. A: I love the work of Michael Brauer and Andrew Scheps.

  21. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  22. A: At the moment I only do remote, 'virtual' mixing.
