Modern. Heavy. Polished.
From coaching your pre-production to delivering competitive mixes, I've got you covered.
About Matt
Welcome!
I'm Matt Grou, a rock and metal drummer / producer.
I help artists take their music to new heights by dedicating myself to the creative journey. This leads to music that's competitive, impeccably polished, and primed to distinguish itself in the most coveted playlists.
If you like what you hear below and think your project has potential, we should talk!
I also offer consulting for aspiring producers.
Recording
Getting it right at the source is what separates the amateurs from the pros. The right gear, the right ear, and the right performance all amount to a huge difference in the end result.
I oversee every step of the process and make sure that no detail is spared, no time is wasted, and that you perform at your best to bring your music way above your expectations.
Or maybe you just need help to do it yourself?
Let me know what your needs are and we'll figure out the way forward!
Mix & Master
Mixing sits between technical knowledge and art. I love this art!
I've had the chance to mix many genres from metal to pop, from punk to folk. My aim when I mix is to arrive at a piece of music that sounds polished and human, yet highly modern.
Listen to my portfolio and see if my sound signature is a good fit for your music!
Mastering is included in my mixes if you want it.
I also offer consulting if you're stuck in your mixes and need guidance.
Drum Tracking
Your band is only as good as your drummer!
I have tracked drums for multiple artists in various styles ranging from chamber metal to folk. I write drum parts for the music and perform them to my standards, which are pretty high, as you might expect.
Listen to my drum portfolio and see if you like my style.
Don't just settle for programmed drums or a badly played track. Get the real thing done!
