Hire the Best GarageBand Specialists in Austin, TX

Based in Austin, TX - Available for remote work worldwide Hey, I’m Nate Zivin, an Austin, TX–based multimedia producer with over two decades in music, audio, and video production. I’ve spent most of my life obsessing over sound, music, storytelling, and the small emotional details that make creative work actually feel alive. I started as a musician long before I ever called myself an editor or producer. Playing professional jazz gigs and corporate events, performing in jazz ensembles, spending thousands of hours mixing records, promoting and booking my own music festivals, performing original music in front of hundreds of people, playing guitar alongside Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, and engineering live sound for acts like Plain White T’s, Quiet Riot, and Jimmie Vaughan all shaped the way I think about creativity, pacing, and emotion. Over time that naturally expanded into video production, composition, sound design, dialogue editing, and multimedia storytelling. Since then, I’ve worked across a wide range of creative projects — composing music for media including a McDonald’s commercial, working as a radio producer, editor, and on-air personality alongside legendary Austin radio host JB Hager, recording and mixing a 20-piece Indian flamenco orchestra for live television broadcast on KLRU-TV, filming and scoring an intro video that has played in front of hundreds of thousands of visitors at the spiritual retreat center Ghost Ranch in New Mexico, mixing records for independent artists, and creating story-driven content for brands, creators, and businesses. I’ve also edited over 580 minutes of Hebrew educational lessons with a heavy focus on pacing, clarity, instructability, and cross-language understanding for a program designed to serve thousands of students. A lot of my background sits at the intersection of music, visuals, and emotion. Whether I’m editing dialogue, composing music, cleaning up audio, or shaping visuals, I’m usually thinking about the same thing: Is this the highest quality this can possibly be? Does this feel human? Will this emotionally connect with people in a way that feels inspirational, professional, creative, and intriguing enough to hold their attention? Technically, I’m comfortable across the full production pipeline — audio engineering, editing, composition, sound cleanup, voiceover production, color work, and post-production workflows — but I try not to approach projects mechanically. The goal isn’t just to make something polished. The goal is to make something people actually connect with. Services I offer include: • Music composition & film scoring • Multi-instrument session work (piano, guitar, bass, drums, vocals) • Creative consulting & content development • Video editing & post-production • Audio editing, mixing & mastering • Sound design & audio cleanup • Podcast & spoken-word production • Dialogue editing & voice enhancement • Short-form social media content • Educational course production • Color correction & visual storytelling • Voiceover recording & production • Live audio engineering If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves the creative process and can help shape raw ideas into engaging, professional work, I’d love to hear what you’re building.

Hi, I'm Luke. I've been playing the piano since I was a child, composing original scores and soundtracks for over ten years, and producing songs professionally for myself, and others, for the past year. Now, as a busy adult, I can still find a place of peace and presence when I compose that is hardly accessible anywhere else; it's my zen space. Not only is music something I genuinely enjoy creating, but pursuing it as a career has given me the education, training, and experience I need to help you with your projects every step of the way. Music Production | My 6 Step Process 1. Songwriting - I write unique melodies, bass lines, harmonies, chord progressions, and rhythms that match your voice and brand. I don't use stock loops or samples, unless requested, to ensure an original and authentic sound. 2. Arranging - I will arrange musical elements differently depending on whether I'm scoring to picture, video game, audiobook, podcast, or other media. This makes it simple and straightforward for you to implement my music into your project. 3. Recording - As an experienced pianist and keyboardist, I can record your music with a vast selection of virtual instruments and software. Rather than simply clicking and dragging MIDI notes, which results in music sounding digital and dull, I use high-end MIDI keyboards that give me more dynamic and expressive control while recording. This allows me as an electronic producer to create music that sounds alive, organic, and full of emotion. 4. Editing - I invest time fine-tuning and micro-editing each vocal and instrumental recording. This includes tasks like auto-tuning, quantizing, drum-comping, and more. I have edited hundreds of hours of audio, so my ears have been trained to notice subtle yet essential details. 5. Mixing - I use practices like volume balancing, track panning, effect automation, compression, reverb, delay, and more to make the song come to life and be sonically balanced. Depending on how well the individual tracks were recorded and edited, this step can be time-consuming or straightforward. 6. Mastering - This is the final polishing up of a mix before it's exported. I attended a 6-month mastering course which enhanced the quality of my mixes immensely. The benefit of proper mixing and mastering is that your music will sound great on all types of speakers, headphones, and stereo systems. This is one of the skills that truly sets me apart from the many songwriters and composers on Upwork. Thank you for taking a few minutes to visit my profile. If these services sound like something that could benefit you or someone you know, please don't hesitate to reach out with questions. Have a lovely day!

Greetings, my name is Derrick. Music Producer by day, UX Researcher by night. As a producer and as a researcher I love hearing my client's vision and bringing it all to life. You can count on me to find the bugs in your app and conduct heaps of research, all without missing a beat. I bring a positive mindset to work, manage my time exceptionally and have a keen sense for details. I originally got into UX Research after not being able to find a decent project management app for managing music projects. I needed an app that could handle diagramming, audio files, encryption and multiple ways to view the same data. The lack of such an app in the market sent me spiraling into a new passion; UX Research. Whenever I spoke to people about my work--as a musician--they were often surprised by how much software my job required. Most couldn't relate directly, however they faced their own UX nightmares of frozen windows, buttons that were too small and software crucial to their jobs not working when they needed it most. Through networking I lucked upon this same conversation, but this time, with two UX/UI Developers. On two separate occasions I was informed to look into UX Research; once I did I was in absolute love with the field. Today my work consists of music production, audio engineering and--drumroll--UX Research + UX Design Assistance. Research has always been a passion of mine; from logging and comparing stats on the best MP3 player I wanted for Christmas as a teen and now as an adult I still conduct market research during my spare time by tracking changes and keeping notes on the music industry, the tech industry and even the automobile industry. I love organizing notes, and spotting out new markets and products before they hit the public. Outside of contract work my passion is in leading and coaching entrepreneurs. I teach time management skills, project management skills and help aspiring entrepreneurs find the right apps to help bring all the pieces of their projects together. Ultimately, my goal is to do meaningful work, make life easier to navigate for anyone I cross paths with and then retire to do sync licensing, film animation and continue to provide guidance to future entrepreneurs. Currently the UX industry is my way to make life easier for musicians, everyday users and the companies who make the apps and products for us. I'm always ready to help and very easy to talk to. You can rest assured knowing that your experience with me will be exceptional. Below you'll find some highlights of my projects and skills. Thank you for your time and consideration, all the best!
