Marc Matthews

Hi, I'm the ultimate musical multitasker! As a guitar shredder, producer extraordinaire, and mixing/mastering magician, I've done it all. I spent over 8 years in the metal quintet Engraved Disillusion, touring Europe and releasing killer albums that'll make your eardrums bleed.

After earning an MSc in Music Engineering and Production from the University of South Wales, UK, my passion for sharing knowledge led me to also become a Qualified Teacher. I love teaching other producers how to take their tracks from meh to magnificent!

But wait, there's more! I'm also the host of the popular podcast Inside The Mix, where I get up close and personal with the big names in the mixing game. Want to know their secrets to create killer sounds? Tune in and find out!

Eric Mitchell

Contrary to a large portion of the people with careers in this industry who tend to specialize in one area, I have all the bases covered; equally skilled across the board with a well-seasoned history of success to back it up: songwriting, production, tracking, mixing, mastering, live sound, commercial audio, multi-instrumental/session performance and beyond. This applies to every genre except for country. The largest portion of my clients are electronic artists and labels and I find modern electronic music to be the most extreme end of engineering. Becoming reliably performant in that realm has made engineering any other genre easier. Also, if any listeners are fans of Glassjaw, I've been responsible for how they sound live since 2018 and I also remastered the 20th-anniversary vinyl boxed set release last year.
