Mark Spencer Nelson is an independent, Minneapolis area based audio engineer and musician that specializes in mixing and other audio work for bands, musicians, songwriters and home recordists looking to document their projects with the help of an outside objective ear.
Mark works out of Ugly Swan Audio, which is his home project studio and mix room. He is a believer in getting your music out into the world no matter what level of profession you are working at. Mark cut his teeth recording bands in fairly Gorilla style fashion…a living room, a low ceilinged basement, an abandoned warehouse. These situations were usually less than ideal and very fly by the seat of your pants, but these experiences did offer many valuable lessons. After a number of years of putting audio in the backseat, he is now in a position to hit the ground running on the next project. Currently accepting projects for mix work, mastering for digital, and mixing, editing and finalizing for podcasts.
