This series of talks with successful and interesting people (musicians, producers, composers, manufacturers, sound designers, promoters, music marketers) has the motto “Learning about and learning from”. Today Rolf´s guest is Wytse Gerichhausen, the man behind White Sea Studio.

Audio Engineer, Youtuber, Studio owner and Recording adviser – Wytse Gerichhausen does it all – and very successfully.

He started White Sea Studio back in 2014.

After working 5 years in the EDM industry as a mixing engineer, Wytse decided to take a broader approach and open himself up to all music genres.

He has worked with artists like Cryosis, Dyro and Conro, Franky Rizardo, Zombie Nation, Funk Heven … just to name a few.

The number of views on his Youtube channel goes into millions.

Wytse is known for his absurd obsession with music, audio technology and sound.

He says his goal is to always find a way to give your music production just that bit extra to lift it to a higher level.

Every single detail in his work is thought out, even if it's barely audible.

He also likes to work super efficient and is always figuring out ways to make things easier for himself.

This way he can focus even more on what matters,

the music.
