Welcome to Integraudio
Integraudio was launched in 2020 as a blog for music producers and engineers who are looking for tips, guides, tutorials, reviews & more!
We’re a team of Musicians and Music Production enthusiasts interested in Audio VST Plugins, Kontakt Libraries, Production Tips, Sound Design, Audio Books and Mixing & Mastering Tricks.
The site was started by Viliam Sulek, who founded this blog to share his discoveries of great VST plugins, sounds, effects, hardware and software.
Vil has moved on to other projects but left a great legacy as he authored a lot of the blogs entries and has left the site in the capable hands of the Integraudio team that he created.
Here we dive deep into the latest software, offering in-depth reviews, tutorials, and comparisons to ensure you stay ahead of the curve in music production technology.

Berk Oztuna
Berk is a multi-instrumentalist musician from Istanbul, Turkey. He’s been playing guitar, handpan, and percussion for over ten years.
He started his music journey as a teenager learning guitar and playing in several bands, and started with the handpan in 2016.
“I fell in love with the instrument the first time I heard it and started focusing more on handpan and percussion skills after that.
Since then, I have been playing in streets, festivals, bars, and stages in different countries.
I also compose, record, and produce my own music, combining different instruments and exploring various genres.”
Jack Cockrell
I am a music producer, songwriter, mixing and mastering engineer, sound designer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and musical artist. Yeah, I know, it’s a mouthful. Basically, if it involves music, I am super into it. I recently became a full-time freelancer in the music space, having dabbled in it for around 10 years. I started playing guitar at 7 years old, and I am now almost 30 (almost!). Music has been a main part of my life since I formed memories. I literally cannot remember a time before music. I adore every aspect of creating and working on music, from starting a song to mastering and polishing the final piece. It’s all incredible.
I’ve worked on many projects over the years, including my own. I release pop/indie music where I do everything, from writing to recording to mixing to mastering, and I even create all the content around it. I do this under the name Mauve Shores. A big passion of mine is metal/alternative music, so I release music with my band Midnight Paradise. The band is literally me and my best mates, so it’s super fun. I do everything except for play drums and bass in that. The final project I release under is called Heavy Blink, and I put out LoFi Beats. I’ve even had tracks reach over 250k streams on Spotify.
Outside of my own projects, I have worked in a variety of genres. I’ve written, produced, mixed, and mastered pop songs for the artist No False Feelin’, one of which got in the UK Top 40 Spotify playlist and has almost 1 million streams. I currently create drum and bass remixes for a client, some of which have over 2 million streams. I’ve done mixes for events such as a dance recital and a business event. I’ve also done some audio cleanup and sound design for a live voice over group that do their anime in person. Right now I am working on a mixture of my own stuff, and with clients. For example, I am beginning to produce, mix, and master a death metal album, and also at the same time a teen pop style song. I love the variety that comes with this line of work.
I am also super nerdy about the gear and technology revolving around music. I could talk for days about my favorite plugins for specific things. Don’t even get me started on EQs. I began as just a guitar player, so my gear obsession has definitely been more towards pedals, but the more I got into production, the more this expanded to everything.
Outside of music, I am into a lot of different things. I love to connect with nature, whether this is through hikes or even making terrariums. I really enjoy skateboarding, playing rugby, and running. I’m also into creating things in general, I always have some DIY projects going, whether that is woodwork, or electronics. Before going full-time as a freelancer, I was a software developer for 6 years, so programming is something I still enjoy and do in my free time. Of course, we can’t forget about how much I enjoy spending time with my wife and my friends.
