your music deserves to hit

HARDER.

Worldwide Mixing & Mastering for Modern Heavy Music

HeaR the DifFereNce.

Action Speaks Louder Than Words.

Before we dive into the details, listen first.

Use the player to compare raw recordings with the final mix and master from real Rock and Metal productions.

These are actual client projects, no demos, no stock audio.

What you hear is the result of professional mixing and mastering: more punch, clarity, depth, and translation across systems.

Selected Credits:
Credits include Pafero, VON GRAMBUSCH, DERHB, CF98, Conclusion Of An Age and other artists from the modern Rock and Metal scene.

Hi i'm MalTe

Mixing & Mastering Engineer for Rock, Metal & Hardcore.

I help bands with modern music production to powerful, release-ready productions with punch, clarity, and impact.

Background

My name is Jaan-Malte Brück and I’m definitely a musician first.

I didn’t learn mixing in a classroom. I learned it in rehearsal rooms, on stage, and in the DIY trenches of Punk and Metalcore.

With over 20 years of experience as a guitarist, producer, and engineer, I understand what heavy music needs to hit hard and still translate everywhere.

What defines my work

For me, mixing is not just technical.

It’s about capturing the energy of a performance and translating it into a sound that feels as intense as it did in the room, just bigger, clearer, and more controlled.

What I bring to your project:

Musician’s Perspective
I’ve been on your side for over two decades. I understand arrangements, dynamics, and what makes heavy music work.

Creative Input
If something is missing, I’ll tell you. From small details to arrangement tweaks — I help you get the most out of your songs.

Technical Precision
Certified Audio Engineer with a focus on modern Rock and Metal production.
Clean, powerful, and competitive mixes that translate across all systems.

Full Commitment
I left my corporate career to focus entirely on music.
Every project gets my full attention.

The Goal
To bridge the gap between raw emotion and professional production. So your music doesn’t just sound good, it feels right.

Let’s build something heavy.

why Audio puNCh?

Heavy music doesn’t work if it sounds “nice.”
It needs impact, clarity, and energy that translates everywhere.

That’s exactly what I focus on!

What makes the difference

From the Scene, Not Just the Studio

20+ years in bands, rehearsal rooms, and live environments.
I don’t guess how heavy music should sound. I know it from experience.

Specialized in Modern Rock & Metal

I focus on heavy genres.
That means faster decisions, better results, and mixes that actually compete in your scene.


Mixing + Production Mindset

I don’t just balance tracks. I think like a producer.
If something can be improved, I’ll tell you and help you get there.


Technical Precision that Translates

Certified Audio Engineer with a focus on modern production standards.
Your music will sound powerful on streaming platforms, headphones, and live systems.


Direct, Honest Collaboration

No ego, no gatekeeping.
Clear feedback, fast communication, and a process built around your project.

The Result

A sound that hits hard, stays clear, and holds up against professional releases.

The Audio Punch Promise: I don’t stop until the hair on the back of your neck stands up. If it doesn’t hit you like a ton of bricks, we’re not done yet.

Bachelor of Engineering in Audiology

Certified Mixing and Mastering Engineer

Still any Questions?

I specialize in modern Rock, Metal, Punk, and Hardcore.

That’s where my experience is. Both as a musician and as a mixing and mastering engineer.

If your music lives in that space, I know how to make it translate.

 

You can send your files via WeTransfer, Dropbox, or Google Drive.

Ideally, export clean stems starting at the same point (usually bar 1), without limiting on the master bus.

If you’re unsure, I’ll guide you through the process.

Yes. Revisions are part of the process.

We work together until the mix feels right and translates the way you want it to.

Clear communication is key here. I want you to be fully confident in the result.

It depends on the project, but typically:

Mixing: a few days per song

Mastering: 1–2 days

I’ll give you a clear timeline once I’ve heard your material.

Both.

If I hear something that could improve the track: arrangement, energy, transitions etc. I’ll bring it up.

You’re not just getting a mix, but a second set of experienced ears.

  • Your multitracks or stereo mix
  • A rough mix (if available)
  • Reference tracks (optional, but helpful)
  • A short description of what you’re aiming for

Both.

Whether you’re a full band or a solo producer, the goal is the same:

a powerful, professional sound that holds up in your genre.

Absolutely Yes.

I work with modern loudness and production standards to make sure your music translates across streaming platforms, headphones, and larger systems without sacrificing clarity or impact.
