Mark Cake on SoundBetter

Producer/mixer, multi-instrumentalist. Worked with Joy Crookes, Tom Grennan, Speech Dabelle, Steve Reich. 10+ years industry experience, anywhere between playing in a horn section on the pyramid stage at Glastonbury to mixing on the SSL 9072 console at Metropolis Studios. @markcakemusic

I graduated with 1st class honours from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where I studied jazz saxophone/flute and music production.

I mainly play saxophones, flutes, guitars, bass, synths as well as programme drums and electronics. I'm also an avid collector of obscure musical instruments so which I very often use to sample in the music I produce. On top of this, over the years I've built a network of amazing musicians we can hire in as session players.

As a Mixer and Mastering Engineer, I work in a wide variety of genres. The right mix will take any song from amateur to professional, and I have years of experience doing just that.

I also specialise in live electronics so I'm also available to help plan/talk through a live performance using track, integrating laptops, midi clocking, live fx, ableton live, modular synths etc

5 Free Revisions- Most projects need less, and if we need more than that, we can talk about it because I try to only charge for revisions as a very last resort (like we're going in circles).

First half of payment is non-refundable upon commencement of work because I spend a lot of time on each song.

As is standard, vocal recording/tuning/timing not included with production.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

    Excellent communication, fair pricing, and—oh yes—wonderful saxophone player! Mark recorded a long-ish tenor saxophone solo and additional sax motifs that I had written for a rock song. We were both working in Logic Pro, so he was able to send me the full project, with two microphone options and extra takes included. Recording quality is excellent, and the tone and feel of the performance is spot-on. Very pleased with the results. I look forward to working together again, down the line. Thanks!
