A for Aleph on SoundBetter

Remote Analog/Hybrid mixing & mastering facility with a selection of boutique analog outboard hardware available for world class results. Specialise in rock and progressive genres.

My name is Umair Dar, and I'm a Producer, Mixing & Mastering Engineer as well as a guitarist. I am the founder of A for Aleph, Pakistan's premier recording studio and music production facility. I specialise in organic sounding mixes - going against the grain of modern, over-processed, over-edited and ultimately sterile sounding production styles in favour of more 'real' sounding production which puts the emotional heart of the music front and centre. I like using a combination of modern technology (plugins) and old school analogue hardware in order to achieve my sonic vision. I prefer not to use drum samples in my mixes, and would rather re-amp guitar DI's through one of my boutique tube amps than use amp modellers; if you are looking for modern polish in your productions without sacrificing the 'feel' in the musicianship, I am your guy!

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

    I had a great experience Mixing and Mastering my track with A for Aleph. The delivery was earlier than expected. They didn't hesitate for any revision request. The communication skills are perfect. I really like the sound quality of my track now. Highly recommended for recording, mixing and mastering. Amazing work. Glad to work with them.

    A for Aleph is a hidden gem in Pakistan. As a member of a band seeking to fine-tune our production, the professionalism and expertise at A for Aleph were nothing short of exceptional. The studio brought out the best in our music, allowing us to produce sounds that exceeded our expectations.
    Actually it’s more than a studio and I can’t recommend it enough! I've had the opportunity to meet and jam with an array of talented musicians on these Friday open jam sessions. The atmosphere at A for Aleph is welcoming and the staffs dedication is encouraging.

    I recorded a live studio album at Aleph and this is probably the only new studio in Pakistan that has the technology and facilities to be able to produce that level of quality. It was an absolute pleasure to work with the team and in fact am already working with them on a second album! Can't wait!

    As a new artist a for aleph was the best option for me. Recorded my debut EP here. World class equipment and space. Endless options and possibilities. The only limit is your own imagination and abilities

    Recorded a live EP for the band here. Probably one of the only places that could accommodate a setup like that. Great equipment, great gear and an amazing team to work with ✌

    When our band Tamaasha wanted to launch a debut single, we knew we could look no further than A for Aleph - one of the best equipped and most professional recording studios in the country. It was a dream of an experience recording there! Would recommend anyone and everyone to get in touch if they want the best work done!

    Recorded an Album called Kahyal with Aleph Studios. The entire space is equipped with top of the line recording equipment and gear. One of the best studios in Pakistan actually.

    One of the best equipped studio facility I have recorded at. Have worked on several projects, albums and singles here and it's always been a great experience. Top of the line equipment, spoilt for choice with the gear options and an absolute no compromise attitude towards quality and creative essence.
    Highly recommended. Great people to work with.

    As a professional artist, I had the privilege of participating in the A for Aleph Residency where I created my debut album "Mahal". It was an incredible experience that had a profound impact on my artistic growth. A for Aleph is more than just a recording facility; it's a place that nurtures artists and helps them grow. During my residency, I had the opportunity to learn about songwriting, sound engineering, and post-production work. I highly admire A for Aleph's policies for promoting independent art and artists. For reassurance, you can listen to my album "Mahal".
