    Alexander is a great professional with a great ear for detail. His sound can compete with the best Mastering Engineers in the world as well for a fraction of what these guys charge. The best part about working with him was how much care and attention he put into his work. He has been extremely helpful along every step of the way and I will definitely be hiring him again soon

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

  16. A: I get the sources, upload them to Har-Bal (new version) https://www.har-bal.com/, analyze and make corrections. Be sure to focus on reference tracks at all stages. After Har-Bal, the material gets into Reaper DAW and then I work with the best products from https://www.acustica-audio.com/

  17. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  18. A: In my studio, I use equipment that I carefully selected for my room, for example, a monitoring system was made to me by a special order. My main monitors were developed by the leading engineers at n-acoustic ( http://n-acoustic.ru/ ). The acoustic design of the studio was developed by engineer Max Poluektov (development and implementation of audio systems for Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini). The perfect room and monitors are complemented by the best Trinnov ST2 PRO correction system ( https://www.trinnov.com/st2-pro/ ). All of these components provide uncompromising precision.

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

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

  30. A: I can't make an awfully mixed track sound good, but I can make a well mixed track sound amazing.
