Benedikt Hain | Outback Recordings

Here's What I Can Do For You

Mixing

No matter if you’ve recorded on your own, or at a studio – send me your tracks and you’ll get impactful and exciting sounding mixes that bring out all the raw energy, emotion and power of your songs.

Mastering

Wanna get a coherent master, that translates well onto all kinds of different listening systems? I’ve got you covered! – request a free testmaster!

Recording

Let’s bring your vision to life and capture your songs with all their impact! We can use a world class recording environment with a big live room and an analog console at Ghost City Recordings near Nuremberg, as well as my own studio, Outback Recordings for mixing & overdubs. And if you live on the other side of the globe, that’s not gonna hold us back! I’m happy to travel, pick a studio and work wherever you want me to work with you! Whatever you chose, creativity is king and a relaxed, enjoyable studio experience is guaranteed!

Editing | Programming | Reamping

I can make sloppy performances sound tight, good performances even more accurate, tune vocals, program drums that sound really natural, or take your DI tracks and turn them into killer guitar or bass tones!

About Benedikt

Hi everybody! My name is Benedikt Hain and I’m an engineer, producer and mixer with a special passion for alternative and heavy music. Working with lots of different artists, labels and corporate clients all around the globe, I have experience with music of all styles, but the focus has always been on rock and alternative sub-genres like punk, metal or hardcore.

If you are into any of those genres, you know that many people struggle to get this kind of music to sound punchy and modern, while keeping the feel, raw energy and emotional impact of the performance. It often sounds either weak and amateur, or artificial. I have dedicated my whole career to making professional, high-end recordings and mixes that deliver all the energy, emotion and power of your songs to the listener.

Aside from all the technical things, I’m always focusing on making the whole production process as fun and pleasant as possible. You should not only get the best results, but also an enjoyable studio experience, that inspires your creativity.

Want to make your band’s records sound exciting and powerful?
