MIXING & MASTERING
Welcome to 4D Sounds. I'm Acle Kahney, producer, composer & guitarist for the band TesseracT. Based in Oxfordshire UK, I primarily offer mastering services while occasionally taking on mix work.
At 4D Sounds, I bring a wealth of experience (20+ years) and expertise to the table. While I've worked with and enjoy an array of genres, I specialize in rock, prog, metal and djent mastering. I have also mixed & mastered every TesseracT release.
You've probably spent a whole lot of time crafting your music. Would you prefer the last 10% of your songs, to be run through an AI preset? Or would you rather it have some soul? Treated with attention and care. Whether you're an aspiring artist or an established name in the industry, 4D Sounds ensures that your music receives the attention it deserves.
We can provide masters and different formats (and their varying LUFS targets) for CD, Spotify, Youtube, Apple, Tidal, DDP & Vinyl. Dynamic or loud - whichever your prefer.
Feel free to place an order at the bottom of the page or get in touch via the contact form. You’ll also find an array of my mixing tutorials and presets available at www.aclekahney.com

TESTIMONIALS
“Thanks again for the stellar masters on my songs. The first single comes out tomorrow, and I couldn’t be happier with the final product.
I work at an audio engineering and performance college here in Atlanta. Some of the instructors here, who heard earlier renditions of the songs, wanted to hear the masters yesterday. Everyone was absolutely blown away, and have been singing your praises ever since!
We also listened to “War Of Being” in our Atmos suite - an absolutely insane experience!
It’s hard to find reliable engineers who provide exceptional work, so thanks for all you do. “ - Shane Driscoll
“Oh man, I don't even know how to begin. I didn't even know what these songs were missing until they came back from you. Just hearing them illuminated in that way is a huge learning experience in itself. They sound incredible, the drums in Medicine took on a whole new dimension and the guitars sounded much less harsh on comparison. The whole arrangement is so well knit together, I couldn't be happier.
I love how the textural instruments melted into a tapestry. The bass is clear and distinct without causing the vocal to get squashed” - Kyle Pinckard
“Can I steal this Axe FX preset? It’s one of the best I’ve ever mixed”
Will Putney, Machine Shop
“Thank you for the amazing mastering, we’ll be coming back to you for our album for stem mastering”
Oestre
"Had a listen to the master with the lads, sounds absolutely beast and everyone is happy with it, which never happens with us so thank you."

“Your version is SO much better than theirs! Everything is warmer, the guitars sit way better, the low end compression is f*****g badass." Source.
