Alex Fisher on SoundBetter

I have years of experience writing and recording indie pop, indie rock, and singer-songwriter tracks. I am here to help you put out a radio-quality track with the sound you want.

I'm a multi-instrumentalist musician, songwriter, and mixing engineer from Austin, Texas. I can help you create a great track by writing and recording acoustic/electric guitar, piano, keys, backup vocals, and writing lyrics.

If you have a simple demo and need it to be filled out with lush instrumentation, mixed, and mastered, I can do that! Alternatively, if you just need certain instruments recorded or just have it mixed/mastered, I can also do that.

If you would like to hear my writing style, simply look up "Tiny Dolphin" on any streaming platform. If you would like to hear my mixing/mastering, visit my website or just reach out to me and ask to hear my most recent work!

Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.

Very very very patient with me! This track is my favorite so far. Alex was so creative with this one. I requested an 80s funk type of beat and sound and it was delivered so perfectly. He truly is an amazing artist.

Alex is very patient and very diligent. I had asked him for a lot of revisions and gave him pretty nebulous feedback and he was still able to produce the sound I wanted and was a pure professional throughout. He really takes the time to achieve the sound that you want.

Alex Fisher was a JOY to work with. Absolutely ZERO ego and really works to create a song YOU want. He's an extremely talented musician and has a real ear for what sounds good, so his advice and musical input are really helpful and useful when he gives it. He's very quick to return edits and different versions and has a can-do and excited attitude to make your song the absolute BEST it can be.

Excellent as always! I had two songs beautifully produced and mixed by him. He's extremely responsive and willing to do whatever it takes to get your song to where you want it to be. I'm also really impressed with how many instruments he's skilled at, especially piano! Will be working with Alex again. :)

Alex helped me produce every song on my EP and also helped master the EP itself and I could not have asked for a better job. All the songs came out exactly how I imagined them thanks to his work. I highly recommend him, he's very easy to work with and does a fantastic job.

Alex produced and mastered my song in under 2 weeks and was able to nail the sound after just one phone call. I'll continue seeking out Alex for my future projects.

Alex wrote a gorgeous track for my meditation channel with all kinds of pads, pianos, strings, choirs... it was exactly what I was envisioning! He made sure I was happy with the final product and was communicative, kind, and professional throughout the whole process. I'll definitely be working with him again!!

Alex was awesome to work with. He brought a lot of interesting ideas to the table and was always open to feedback and trying different options. He transformed my rough demo (voice, guitar, drums) into a track with a lot of vibe and character. Highly recommend.

Alex did a great job with a really quick turnaround. He made my song sounds as I had imagined, even when it was hard for me to articulate exactly what I wanted. He was able to figure it out and create a masterpiece!

This was my second time working with Alex. My respect for his skills as a producer and a musician grew even more this time! There were different approaches to the song, exchanging ideas and simply trying out things. The communication part worked really well like last time and in the end, the song turned out just as I hoped, I really love the results. Thank you again, Alex :)
