    As a veteran radio professional from one of Europe's largest stations, I had a vision: to transpose my extensive experience in audio editing and production to the dynamic world of podcasting. After all, what is a podcast if not a modern radio show? I've recorded and edited programs featuring highly regarded guests from the worlds of music, sport, and business. When I wasn't in the studio recording voiceovers and editing shows, ads, and branding, I was often behind the console capturing these interviews. I now specialize in elevating remote & in-person podcasts to broadcast-quality standards. I work with high-profile podcasters, established brands, and forward-thinking companies that recognize that a highly produced and great-sounding podcast is key to landing big-name guests and keeping listeners engaged! What I deliver ✓ Precise Podcast Audio Editing eliminate noise, pauses, and filler words for an engaging listening experience ✓ Professional Audio Engineering achieve a polished, broadcast-quality sound similar to top BBC radio productions ✓ Radio-Style Ads Production craft high-impact ads using your voice or AI voiceovers, for your sponsors and brand promotion ✓ Unique Sonic Branding infuse your podcast with custom sound design for distinctive intros, jingles & melodic transitions ✓ Engaging Social Media Clips create attention-grabbing video clips and trailers designed to skyrocket engagement ✓ SEO-Optimized Show Notes provide detailed show notes with keywords for discoverability and listener value ✓ Basic Multi-Camera Editing switch between cameras, sync audio to video, add transitions and visual elements. ✓ Hassle-Free Management handle podcast distribution across all platforms, freeing you to focus on content ✓ Strategic Consulting offer expert guidance on equipment, interviews, launch, and audience growth What I Charge Thanks to my years of experience in the broadcasting industry, I deliver fast, seamless edits using professional-grade tools and expert post-production techniques, allowing me to offer a starting rate of $2 per minute of the raw recording length. Estimate your cost by multiplying your recording's length (in minutes) by $2. That's only $60 for a 30-minute episode, which includes all essential services like noise reduction, volume leveling, filler word removal, audio enhancement, recurring intro/music, and a 24-hour turnaround. Please note that this is a starting rate and final pricing may vary based on the complexity of the project. Podcasts that involve multiple hosts, advanced sound design, or a trailer at the start take extra time which means extra costs. Contact me today for a custom quote - I'm happy to discuss your project! *** Releasing Weekly? Get 5% off all services.

I adore supporting other musicians and artists through my full-service music and media business, helping them as they perfect their sound. I’ve worked in the music industry for more than 23 years, professionally for the last 12, and I do it all. Music production isn’t a side gig for me -- for more than 15 years I have worked as a music producer, songwriter, singer, and recording and mixing engineer for Bad Language Records in Sweden. In this role, I’ve helped scores of talented musicians from across Europe and the world fine-tune their music at every stage, from basic ideation and songwriting to recording, mixing, mastering, and more. I am fluent in English and Swedish, but most importantly, I speak the universal language of music. I have experience working with musicians from all places and from every genre. My mission is to capture the special essence of every musical piece I help refine, enhancing the sound experience for your fans. Whether you need help with producing and sound engineering, mixing and mashups, or songwriting, vocals, or voiceovers, I have gigs to suit just about every need.

    Ciao! I’m Luca, an indie music producer based in the lovely land of Ferrari and Balsamic Vinegar. I love to record, produce, engineer, mix, and master music and I can’t live my life without it. My mission is to help artists communicate their art and find pleasure in being part of an artistic journey. I have a unique approach to mixing and mastering always looking for the little details that make a song and artist unique. I don’t have the same workflow or template for every song and I’m very emotionally driven in my mixes, this brings me to experiment a lot and get a professional sound that stands out from flat and sterile productions. I have worked professionally since 2010 producing many musical projects of different genres and careers from young and upcoming talents to world-touring bands and songwriters. I worked in many different genres like pop, rock, punk, hip-hop indie, trap, lo-fi, and many more. Right now I’m primarily working for indie pop and indie rock artists but I’m open to any new music and genre. I also tour with artists I produce who need help for their live shows as a session player (bass and guitar) or as a live sound engineer. This made me tour all around the world and play for many famous festivals like SXSW in Austin (TX, USA), Primavera Sound in Barcelona (ESP), The Great Escape in Brighton (UK), Reeperbahn in Hamburg (DE), MIAMI in Milan (IT) and many more. I also play bass in my Pop Punk band called WEL (Why Everyone Left), toured all over Europe, and played in many famous alternative festivals like Punk Rock Holiday in Tolmin (SVN), In Fest in Milan (IT), Bay Fest in Bellaria/Igea Marina (IT) and many more.

Sound Engineers Hiring FAQs

What is a sound engineer?

A sound engineer, also known as an audio engineer, helps to ensure ideal audio quality for a recording or a live performance by balancing and adjusting audio sources using equalization, mixing, and reproduction. Quality sound engineers, capable of handling a variety of audio needs, can be found on Upwork.

How do you hire a sound engineer?

You can source sound engineer talent on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a sound engineer.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview sound engineers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of sound engineer you need to complete your project.  

How much does it cost to hire a sound engineer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced sound engineer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their sound engineering services more competitively. 

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project. 

How do you write a sound engineer job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample sound engineer job post titles:

  • Need sound engineer for podcast production
  • Sound engineer and composer needed for film score project
  • Audio/visual engineer needed for performing arts venue

Project description

An effective sound engineer job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From regulating volume levels to mixing audio, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or venues, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Sound engineer job responsibilities

Here are some examples of sound engineer job responsibilities:

  • Prepare for recording sessions by selecting and setting up microphones and speakers
  • Mix and edit audio for live performances and for prerecorded events
  • Synchronize pre recorded dialogue and music with video
