Michael Heffernan on SoundBetter

Credits include Dermot Kennedy, Gavin Friday, U2, The Script and more..

I'm an Irish mixer and producer based in London. With 12 years of experience I have worked with U2, Gavin Friday, Dermot Kennedy, The Script..as well as plenty of up and coming Irish Artists/bands.

I love all kinds of music and I've been very lucky to have worked on so many different genres. Back in Dublin most of the artists I worked with had been repeat clients and I developed both a close working relationship and a genuine friendship with these artists.

I trained in STC in the heart of Dublin city. After my training I became an assistant in Temple Lane Studios, which was affiliated with the collage. After six months of assisting I was offered the position of head engineer. I was head engineer there for five years before leaving to open my own production/mixing room in Dublin's Portobello.

For me, mixing is all about feel and bringing out the emotion in the song. I pride myself on the details and everything I work on gets the same attention to detail. I've a great work ethic and pride myself on a quick turn around.

I've been working with Mick for 4 years now. Couldn't recommend him more. He's an absolute pleasure to work with, a fantastic producer, collaborator, mixer and all round sound guy. Very easy to work with, has a great work ethic, fast turn around and really great creative ideas with exceptional attention to detail. He's very accommodating with mixing and edits and always brings my songs to the next level no matter the project/genre. Highly recommend!

We've worked with Mick for nearly 10 years now as a sound engineer and as a mixing engineer and we're always delighted with the results. He has brilliant attention to detail and always responds without fail when we need stems or have any questions!

Mick mixed my album - no small feat. His workflow is impressively fast and to the button. He took every song to a level I'd never imagined with a combination of creative mixing and technical prowess. He is also a gentleman and always enjoyed speaking with him both inside and outside of the mixing work :)

Mick mixed my latest track and I couldn't ask for cleaner, crisper better results! He knew exactly what i was looking for and delivered within a short time span, can't recommend him as an engineer enough!

It's always a pleasure to work with Michael. I've worked with him for almost 10 years now. His mixing is the perfect balance of technique and creativity! Very empathetic to serving what the intent behind the music is and bringing it to the next level with his mixes. He mixed my debut album and my new second-upcoming album! He's a gem.

Mick is an amazing professional to work with. He produced and recorded our 4th album which turned out even better than we imagined. He is full of ideas and his work rate is phenomenal. He's also one of the best mixers in the business. He has a natural talent on how to get the best out of any track. Very easy to work with.

Michael mixed my last two films, both of which went on to be nominated for Irish Academy Awards. He was brilliant to work with and brought each film to another level. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
