Mixing and mastering services helping independent artists get killer releases.
Hi, I’m Scott — co-founder and lead technical engineer at Somni Studios in Bend, Oregon. Since 2016, I’ve worked with artists across the country to bring their musical visions to life — whether that’s crafting a polished, release-ready mix, providing additional production layers, or helping a song evolve from demo to full-blown single.
I come from a background in classical and jazz performance, and I bring over 25 years of musical experience into every session. My approach to engineering is rooted in capturing authentic sound — the emotional core of a song — without burying it behind flashy mixing tricks. If there’s motion and meaning already in the track, I’ll help bring it forward.
Trusted By Touring and Indie Artists Alike
I’ve had the pleasure of working both in studio and live with artists like Adam Deitch (Lettuce), Mark McGrath (Sugar Ray), Leadbetter Band, Double Jump, and LAIK, among others. While Somni Studios is based in Oregon, I regularly collaborate with artists outside the region through structured remote workflows — from Zoom production reviews to clear timelines and quick turnarounds.
Whether we’re building your track from scratch or dialing in your final mix, I keep communication sharp, the vibe easy-going, and the results aligned with your vision.
