Sharing a project I recorded, mixed and mastered in Istanbul: S.ÖZ, a full-length album.
The goal on a record like this is a mix that keeps the vocal clear and forward, controls the low end, and still leaves room for the arrangement to breathe. Surgical EQ, careful dynamics, and a master that translates from streaming to car speakers.
I'm Mert, an audio engineer with 13 years of freelance experience (pop, hip-hop, rock, Turkish-language projects). I'm taking on new vocal mixing and mastering clients, with a discounted rate on your first song. Send stems and a reference track and I'll take it from there
A fast-paced short-form edit combining talking-head footage, news visuals, captions, B-roll, and motion graphics. Edited for strong pacing and viewer retention across Reels, Shorts, and TikTok.
