Nobuyuki Tabata
Sound Expert
High answer rate
I'm Nobuyuki Tabata, a Tokyo-based music producer, professional bassist, audio engineer, music curator and Groover Sound Expert.
More than just feedback — I help independent artists improve their music and discover opportunities to reach n...ew listeners.
Alongside detailed, professional music feedback, I actively promote selected artists through my Instagram community of over 10,000 music-focused followers and my original artist discovery series.
Professional Background & Experience
My experience covers the entire music production process, including songwriting, composition, arrangement, instrumental and vocal production, recording, editing, mixing and mastering.
As the bassist and screamer of melodic metalcore band DATE BACK TO DAWN, I have extensive experience in music production, commercial releases and live performance.
I performed on, mixed and mastered our album "Reminiscence," released through Sleaszy Rider Records. The album received an 8/10 "Excellent" rating from Metal Temple, including a 9/10 score specifically for production.
My professional work also includes producing multiple original songs for Japanese creator Russian Sato, whose YouTube channel has over 1.17 million subscribers, and leading a commercial theme song project for Saray Kebab, which received coverage from 19 Japanese news and media outlets.
I also hold a qualification in audio engineering.
My Approach to Feedback
Every track I review receives honest, detailed and constructive feedback from the perspective of a professional musician, producer and audio engineer.
I evaluate songwriting, hooks, arrangement, performance, tone, sound design, recording quality, mix balance, dynamics and mastering.
My goal is not simply to judge a track, but to help artists recognize their strengths, identify opportunities for improvement and take their music to the next level.
I am particularly passionate about modern metal, metalcore, progressive, alternative and emotionally driven rock music, while remaining open to distinctive artists from other genres.
Artist Discovery & Promotion — Beyond the Feedback
I believe great independent music deserves to be heard.
Beyond providing professional feedback, I actively introduce selected artists and their music to my Instagram community of over 10,000 followers who share a passion for music.
Instagram Stories — Artist Promotion
Tracks I select for promotion can be featured on my Instagram Stories (@nobu_dbtd), helping independent artists gain exposure to a dedicated, music-focused audience.
NOBU'S GROOVER PICKS — Featured Artist Spotlight
For music that truly stands out, I run "NOBU'S GROOVER PICKS," an ongoing artist discovery series featuring promising independent musicians.
Through regular Instagram Reels and curated artist spotlights, I highlight exceptional tracks and introduce emerging artists to new listeners.
All promotional features are independently selected based on musical quality, originality and editorial fit. Instagram features are not guaranteed.
If you're looking for professional feedback, constructive advice and a genuine opportunity to introduce your music to new listeners, I'd love to hear your work.
