Frankie P. on SoundBetter

I strive to be the guy, (where in this day in age where everyone can get a laptop and software), who takes pride in the art of mixing, and can give my clients a lifelong physical and audible memory of the amazing music they created. I’m a bass player and engineer, let’s connect to take your music to the next level.

Clear, focused, and energetic, are just a few words used by listeners to describe productions, mixes, and mastering projects emerging from Frankie P.

I have been involved in audio for over 15 years and specialize in the art of mixing and producing. I mix everything from my studio and love working with all different types of music. Using Pro Tools, and Logic, an abundance of world class plugins and some outboard gear, taking your songs to be radio ready, is my number one goal.

Guys like Frankie P just don’t come along too often. From his welcoming smile to his “can do” attitude, this dude wants you to succeed. From writing to producing to mixing and mastering, Frankie is the kind of guy who really gets involved in your dream. From full start to finish projects to “hey this doesn’t sound right” projects…Frankie is the guy to do it - I can’t recommend him enough.

Frankie is my “go to” producer. Period! Whether I am on the road or have a fresh idea that needs some life, Frankie ALWAYS delivers. His reputation and work has quickly spread throughout the industry and I am very fortunate to have him in my musical corner. Great communication, professionalism, and knowledge of the industry standard, as well as being in tune with what is “current” makes his stamp on your work unbelievable. Highly recommend!

Frankie is one of my go-to guys for when we need something from nothing. He's able to do magic on our live recordings and make them listenable. His work on studio records is also top notch. Please consider Frankie next time you have a project you need to sound fantastic.

Working with Frankie is an absolute joy. He is patient and opened to any ideas you have as a creative. Working with producers can be a daunting task but with Frankie he allows you to feel super comfortable in a fun, freeing environment!

Frankie is my go-to guy for mixing my saxophone quartets. Having known him for over a decade and seeing him go through so many experiences leaves me trusting his ear and his ability to understand the goals of each arrangement that I do more than I would anyone else. He brings out the best in the music hands-down. I would readily recommend Frankie to anyone looking for mixing and mastering.

Interview with Frankie P.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am mainly working in the country and pop world
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My bass. My hard drive. Anything else can be replaced
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been doing mixing for over 15 years and I am always looking to learn and improve with this ever changing industry
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Ryan Tedder. He's an absolute genius and one of the most talented people on this planet.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Country, Pop, Rock
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Listening, and hearing potential in anything, and then making it a reality
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I am an in the box mixer using plugins from waves, slate, the CLA bundles, plus much more. I exclusively work in Pro Tools and Logic
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Ryan Tedder, Shane Macanally, Chris Lord Alge, Andrew Schepps, Dave Pensado, Greg Wells
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both but mainly digital. Personally, I think that a great mix engineer can make anything sound amazing and radio ready. Yes, there are different nuances when you record to tape, but in this amazing world we are in today, you can make an amazing sounding record with the right people who know what they are doing.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Excellent work and great communication throughout the mix process
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I get to hear music as it could be not as it is. Many people listen to things at face value. A demo to someone may sound bad simply for quality but I listen to it as what the song is and could be.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I ask about deadlines, advertisement for the work I will do to make sure I am credited, and if they are signed or working with a manager that needs to be brought into the conversation. I will also ask what is the sound they are looking for and will ask examples of music that they want to sound like or sound similar to.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: There's a lot of engineers who can be cold, or not personable, what you get with me is someone who understands not only audio, but the creative process and musicians. I am one of the easiest people to work with and with hiring me, I not only want to create great music, but life long and repeating clients.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I take music and the arts very seriously. Time is money and time should be valued on both ends of the spectrum. If you're someone charging a lot of money to mix a song, don't take forever to mix it. I am punctual on my mixes, and I set deadlines for almost anything I do. My philosophy is work smarter not harder. You won't find me grabbing plugins on every single track, if I think a sound is good straight from a client, I am not going to fix it if it's not broken.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Its all about gain staging and levels. Many times people will run and grab the nearest plugin or buy the newest plugin because it made your track louder or sound different and all of a sudden you have level problems. I take pride in spending a lot of time leveling my tracks and gain staging before I even touch a plugin. Lastly know what the plugin does to its fullest extent.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring life, clarity and punch to your mixes. I take something and create a piece of music that is ready to compete with the music on the radio and streaming devices today. I want the artist to feel confident and that when they hire me, they get anxious and excited to know the next time they hear their music, they are thrilled about the quality it transformed to.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Mixing music to create a lasting piece of artwork that the artist can be proud of

Turnaround time varies on the particular job. I try to spend 2-3 days on a mix. I will try to meet any deadline that you have! I allow up to 4 revisions.
