I’m Ben Schwarzwalder of Black Forest Sounds — a producer, mix engineer, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist specializing in modern, commercial-ready mixes and hybrid analog/digital production. My workflow combines the depth and warmth of Neve, SSL, Avalon, and CAPI hardware with precise digital tools, giving tracks clarity, punch, and professional polish.

I work across pop, rock, alternative, synthwave, singer-songwriter, and commercial/ sync-ready projects. Sessions are collaborative: I adapt to your vision while providing guidance to elevate your song, whether it’s a single vocal, full production, or a complete mix.

My setup includes high-quality analog gear, instruments like guitars, bass, and synths, and monitoring for accurate translation across platforms. I can mix prepared sessions from high-quality WAV/AIFF stems, or collaborate remotely with artists needing creative input.

I also have experience performing live — I was in a regionally touring rock band and opened for well-known acts — so I bring both studio and stage perspective to my work.

Genres: Pop, Rock, Indie/Alternative, Synthwave, Singer-Songwriter, Hip-Hop, Sync-Ready
