Services

Mixing

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

Mastering

I can make crushing, coherent masters, that translate well onto all kinds of different listening systems – request a testmaster!

Recording

Let’s bring your vision to life and capture your songs with all their impact! We offer a world class recording environment with a big live room, as well as a smaller studio for mixing & overdubs or even the whole production, if you’re on a tight budget. 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

See samples of my work in the player above and a (very incomplete) client list here. Besides lots of great artists you’ll also find corporate clients there as well as lots of live mixing credits, as I have worked for some well established bands and solo artists as a live sound engineer as well.

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?
