ABOUT

1986

MY NAME IS SCOTT ECKLEIN AND I AM A MUSICIAN AND AUDIO ENGINEER THAT HAS BEEN MAKING RECORDS FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

I HAVE BEEN OBSESSED WITH SOUND FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER.

I BEGAN SOUNDS BY SWAYZE WITH THE IDEA TO OFFER MASTERING SERVICES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SOMEONE THAT HAS BEEN ON THE OTHER SIDE AS A MUSICIAN AND MIX ENGINEER. I ALWAYS HONOR THE ARTISTS VISION ABOVE ALL ELSE.

2010

EVEN WITH ALL MY EXPERIENCE, I OFTEN FELT MYSTIFIED OR LOST BY THE MASTERING PROCESS, WITH IT AT TIMES FEELING LIKE A DARK ART AND SECRET KNOWLEDGE. ONE DAY, I HAD THE IDEA THAT IF I COULD LEARN MORE ABOUT MASTERING, IT WOULD HELP ME BE A BETTER MIX ENGINEER. 

SO I SET OUT TO LEARN. 

THE MORE I LEARNED, THE MORE I LOVED IT. I FOUND IT TO BE THE DISCIPLINE OF BALANCE: THE PERFECT BLEND OF ART, CREATIVITY, AND SCIENCE.

AS I FURTHER HONED MY CRAFT, I CAREFULLY CONSIDERED THE PRINCIPLES UPON WHICH I WOULD DELIVER AN EXCEPTIONAL CLIENT EXPERIENCE. I SOON REALIZED THAT IT WAS RATHER SIMPLE:

LISTENING AND COMMUNICATION.
THESE ARE THE FOUNDATION FOR TRUST AND CONFIDENCE, ALL OF WHICH IS AT THE HEART OF ANY WORTHWHILE EXPERIENCE WHERE SOMEONE HANDLES YOUR ART. 

I’D LOVE TO HEAR WHAT YOU’RE WORKING ON, NO MATTER WHAT THE STAGE. I LOVE MEETING NEW PEOPLE THAT SHARE THE SAME PASSION FOR THE ART OF SOUND (EVEN IF WE NEVER WORK TOGETHER). I CHERISH COMMUNITY OVER COMPETITION, ALWAYS. 

SEND ME A MESSAGE! DON’T BE SHY! I’M VERY DOWN TO EARTH : )
