He works with Golden Melody award-winning artists such as The Girl and The Robots, Yeemao, and Yoga Lin.
He connected with award-winning mix engineer Matt Sim to get feedback on a mix he was working on for a song called 趙翊帆YI94 X 張瑚HU - 妳 (Rosie). Sim has mixed over 1,000 songs for artists such as Jojo Siwa, Jackson Wang, PH-1, Nafla, Tia Ray, Theo Croker, GEM, and Aya Nakamura. His work has earned him multiple Grammy nominations and international music awards.
This song hit the top of the R&B genre on the Taiwanese independent stream platform, Streetvoice.
STL says this about his experience using SongChecks: “It was so good to have this opportunity to have my mixing hero Matt Sim listen to my engineering work. Matt heard all the details of my mix, from something I knew there was some issue with, but I didn’t know how to fix, to some little ear candies that I’m pleased he liked. As a top mixing engineer in the industry, Matt precisely pointed out some frequency issues in certain tracks, and after I fixed them, it helped the mix become cleaner and better. I’m amazed by how solid his review was. It truly helped me a lot.”
