    This is the last song on the album Alex and I are currently mixing and mastering together, and another one of a long line of songs we've completed together.

    I can't say enough about Alex's work ethic/style, professionalism, friendliness, and skill. He is a true collaborator and I'm so grateful I've had him by my side and supporting me through two albums now.

    Thank you so much and look forward to future projects, Alex!

    What I thought was going to be a very challenging project ended up being relatively straightforward due to Alex's savvy mixing and mastering, and what I believe to be an increasingly familiar collaboration style with each other. Looking forward to the next song!

Interview with dontaskalex

  1. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  2. A: Try to explain your goal as detailed as possible.

  3. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  6. A: I have been doing producing/mixing/mastering for over 10 years now.

  7. Q: How would you describe your style?

  8. A: My style is simplistic and straight forward.

  9. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  10. A: I would love to work with Post Malone because he just seems like a chill dude to hang out and to work with.

  11. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  12. A: Give it time and try to spread out your sessions over multiple days or weeks. Sometimes you just like an idea because you heard it too often in a row.

  13. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  14. A: I am working on lofi, indie pop, pop and chillout music. But i am really open to every kind of genre.

  15. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  16. A: Understanding the clients idea.

  17. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  18. A: I bring a lot of experiences from mixing and mastering hundreds of songs. Sometimes my own, sometimes working with other singers and sometimes for complete strangers. I think i can understand the ideas of other people pretty well and i can translate them into the song.

  19. Q: What's your typical work process?

  20. A: There is no typical work process for me, its different everytime and thats the reason why its never getting boring.

  21. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  24. A: I'm working on an album with a singer and i am also producing my own songs.

  25. Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

  26. A: There is another mixing and mastering engineer called Fred who does really good work.

  27. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  28. A: Digital, because a lot of digital plugins have algorithms implemented designed to reimagine analog tools, for example reverbs and delays.

  29. Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

  32. A: Its possible from everywhere and with everyone

  34. A: How should you prepare your pre-master: make sure it has some headroom about -6dB

  35. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  36. A: Even though mastering and mixing is pretty technical it has a creative component to it.

  37. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  38. A: Where do you want to publish your track and what sound should be accomplished.

  39. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  40. A: I am focusing on mastering single tracks, or tracks within a bigger project, for example an EP or LP. I am also doing mixing services, so there is the possibility to combine both services into one order.

  41. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  42. A: I am working on a Desktop PC with two KRK 8 ROKIT G3 Speakers and DT770 Pro Headphones. The DAW i use is FL Studio 20. I invested in a few Plugins from Izotope, Youlean and Soundtoys for mastering and mixing purposes.

  43. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  44. A: I am a big fan of the producer Rick Rubin. I just love his positive energy and the calmness in his approach of making music with different styles.
