Jon Buice on SoundBetter

Mixing and mastering from an LA engineer/producer of 8 years+

Welcome to my profile! I hear you're looking for a mixer..

1 insanely amazing mix you'll be eager to endlessly play for your family, friends, and colleagues AND 2 revisions.. not that you'll need them.

I like to cross my T's and dot my I's so your music sounds it's best. That includes:
-Editing/cleanup
-Vocals tuning/timing
-Alternate exports upon request (karaoke version, stems, etc.)
-Hi-res .wav and .mp3 bounces

I owned and operated my own recording business in Washington, DC for 5 years where I produced and mixed countless records and met some amazingly talented people. Now I'm in LA with the same mission, so shoot me a message and give your music the attention it deserves!

Endorse Jon Buice

I've known Jon for a very long time. I met him when I recorded commercial voice-overs at his studio in Virginia and we crossed paths again when I was looking for someone to finally help me master a song I'd wanted to perfect since forever. I cannot thank him enough for helping me make it happen. He really listens and is super talented. And he works really hard to make the finished product perfect in a timely manner. Best of all, he's a great person. Very kind and so easy to work with. Thank you, Jon, for everything.

Jon is the man! Professional, talented and responsive. The turn around time for my single was incredibly fast and I love how he interpreted my mixing notes and was able to take my song to the next level. I would recommend him every day of the week for any genre and any style. The man knows what he is doing!

Working with Jon is so easy. He knows exactly what to do to make your mix sound amazing in all the right ways. If you want, he’ll also add some creative choices to the mix that help bring an even more nuanced and flavorful feel to the final product. His communication is great, turn around times are as quoted, and the final product speaks for itself. I am looking forward to our next project together!

Jon is amazing at what he does. He’s worked on 4 of my tracks and each one was mixed to perfection! If you want to work with someone who produces pro results, Jon is your guy!
