My name is Bernard van Hoven, I am a full time professional Sound Engineer from South Africa. I specialize in audio editing, mixing, mastering, sound design and audio cleanup and I am passionate about what I do. Getting an exceptional product is one of my top priorities and I will always put the project first. NOTE: I no longer do demos on AI content due to a high amount of time wasting. I will only work on generated content with a contract in place. I have 7 years audio experience and 4 years industry experience. I have a diploma in music technology from Emendy Multimedia Technology Institute. I work in audio postproduction as a Final Mix Engineer in which I have mixed and mastered 7 Reality TV shows and documentaries of which one won the SAFTA(South African Film & Television Awards) for best documentary. What I do: -Audio Editing for documentaries, reality tv, podcasts, audiobooks, advertising content etc. -Mixing & Mastering with relevant loudness metering (EBU R128, ACX, streaming etc.) -Audio Production -Noise Reduction -Sound Effects & Foley -Music Production & Composition -Field Recording Communicating and revising until the work is great is important to me. I am happy to do short demos. I do loudness analysis for all my work to ensure optimal loudness levels for all the different sites and outlets available. I am proficient in most broadcasting specs and streaming site requirements, and can easily adjust to meet any parameter targets necessary.

I've edited The Expansive Podcast - winner of Podcast of the Year at the 2024 APVA's, and ranked in the top 1.5% most-listened-to podcasts in the world via Listennotes. I've also worked on The Short Fuse Podcast, based in New York City. I handle full podcast post-production so hosts can focus on recording: noise reduction, leveling, pacing, and a clean final mix, delivered on a fast turnaround. You send the raw file, I send back something ready to publish. I hold a Diploma in Audio Engineering and a Higher Certificate in Music Technology, and I also produce and mix my own music - so if your show needsl intros, jingles, or transitions, I can build those too. Send me a sample episode and I'll tell you exactly what I'd do with it.
