Crafting cinematic heaviness inspired by Loathe and Sleep Token
I’m Antoni Potera, a multi-instrumentalist and producer based in Denton, Texas. My focus is crafting emotional, cinematic heaviness — music that feels as deep as it hits.
I’ve studied modern metal production under Adam Bentley (Arch Echo) and George Lever (Loathe, Sleep Token) through URM Academy and Nail The Mix, and I continue to refine my craft daily. As a drummer, I study with Cameron Carbone (Absentia, Altermind), honing rhythm and feel to translate naturally into my production work.
I’ve worked with artists such as Alyssa Day, creating sounds that balance atmosphere, aggression, and clarity. My approach blends the precision of modern metal with the emotion of cinematic sound design — bringing weight, texture, and intention into every mix..
My Services
The final stage — where every detail comes into focus.
I approach mastering as both a technical process and an art form, preserving the emotion and depth of your mix while giving it the polish and power it deserves. Each track is shaped for clarity, impact, and atmosphere — built to hit hard without losing soul.
Using a hybrid digital chain that includes tape saturation, Vitamin, and the L2 Ultra-maximizer, I balance warmth, width, and precision to ensure your sound translates flawlessly across every system.
Subtle. Loud. Intentional.
Where balance meets impact.
My mix and master process focuses on preserving the emotion of your performance while enhancing every detail — from the depth of the low end to the atmosphere in the highs. I blend warmth, clarity, and aggression to create a sound that feels immersive, powerful, and intentional.
I use a wide range of professional tools, including amp and cabinet modeling from Neural DSP, ML Sound Lab, Universal Audio, Waves, and STL, as well as SSL channel emulation and analog-style compression to add cohesion and texture. My drum work combines organic dynamics with precision layering using Steven Slate Trigger 2, ensuring every hit lands with purpose and weight.
To top it off, I use a hybrid chain of analog-style processing, tape saturation, Waves Vitamin, and the L2 Ultramaximizer. My mastering process will bring your tracks to life with punch, width, and precision — ready for release on any platform.
From the first note to the final master — this is where your sound takes form.
I handle every stage of the process: writing, tracking, reamping, editing, mixing, and mastering. My goal is to capture the emotion and intent behind your music while elevating it through detail, tone, and atmosphere.
Using a wide range of tools from Neural DSP, ML Sound Lab, Universal Audio, Waves, and STL, I shape tones that feel alive and cinematic. Guitars are re-amped through high-definition amp models, drums are blended and reinforced through Steven Slate Trigger 2, and vocals are sculpted to cut through with depth and clarity.
Every project is treated as a collaboration — built to translate your vision into something massive, immersive, and unforgettable.
