clients' voices

Michael Dean Bergmann (songwriter)

"Max Emil is a versatile, very relaxed and caring producer, musician and artist. He has created an atmospheric, cozy and inspired ambience and the attention to detail runs through all aspects of our work together. I'm always amazed at the sound Max conjures up in his studio!"

Monada (label)

"Max Emil is an artist of various disciplines and musical genres. With Samt & Opal, the multi-talent has created 3 original tracks that bring forth an evenly elegant and mystical soundscape with a lot of artistic finesse. Schnekkno enthusiasts and downtempo lovers can expect to be carried light-footedly and gently through beautiful alchemical melodies. With compositions that are full of instrumental, organic highlights, Max' opens up dreamy realms with strong emotional depth."

Nyala (band)

"Working with Max on the artwork for our band, Nyala, was a fantastic experience. Despite the distance between us (we're based in the Netherlands and he's in Germany), the collaboration was smooth and enjoyable. Our communication through video calls and WhatsApp was relaxed and personal, making the process feel very connected. We are super happy with the end result! Max took the time to really understand our music and vision by listening to our tracks and checking out our bio and photos. We created a mood board with some of his previous works and our own ideas, and from there, he developed sketches that perfectly captured our style and concept. The result was stunning: a beautiful cover art, two single designs, and a CD digipack design that we absolutely love. Additionally, Max was clear and transparent about financial aspects, agreements, and deadlines, ensuring a seamless workflow. We couldn't have asked for a better artistic partner for this project!"

Music Mixing Berlin by Max Emil Hurlebaus – sound studio, recording, mixing, audio

about me

Since 2018 I do music mixing in Berlin as a freelancer, working with various bands and artists. I do recording sessions and editing/mixing for recorded music, audio dramas, podcasts and other audio content.

My musical and audio-engineering journey began with a cassette player which I used to record my favourite songs from the radio and create mixtapes. As an early teenager, my first kind of DAW was the game Music Creation on the Playstation 1.

At the age of 14 I got my first bass guitar and founded a ska band with friends from school. By the age of 17 we booked our first studio session and released our first CD Album in 2010. The Bachelor of Music degree was achieved in 2017. During this time, taking part in the band Lemon Lights led to recording an EP and eventually two Albums.
