Pavel Daniels on SoundBetter

I HELP METAL AND ROCK ARTISTS CREATE LABEL QUALITY RECORDS.

My background of classical music, being multi-instrumentalist and love for modern production allows me to fully submerge into any style of music and achieve Your desired result.

GHOST WRITING:

Pavel is not only a master of his craft, but also a cool and friendly dude who is always ready to help uncover song's true potential.

I was lucky to find Pavel for my first professional studio EP. Enjoyed working with him every day and the best part for me was his ability to actually feel the vision of the music I was trying to record, and produce it just the way I wanted. This synergy is what I believe you will find with Pavel too, since this guy has his ways of knowing his client and is up for the challenge 🤟

I've worked reached out to Pavel to help me with a few different songs and each time he has truly brought the best. Everything he touches is amazing and stands on its own. I will definitely be reaching out to Pavel for future work as well!

Our band came to Pavel to mix/master just a single. After we have got a final wav we were stunned by a quality of the record. That was a level we never dreamed of. So just in few months we decided to tape a whole live album in his studio. That was a great experience working with Pav. High level of professionalism and knowledge of how to make it best will lead us back to his studio again!

Working with Pavel has been an absolute treat. He’s extremely transparent in his terms and communication is thorough and clear. His artistic ability to create is phenomenal and his ability to share your personal vision while developing your needs as a band or individual are top notch. I could not recommend him enough.

Worked on the new album with Pavel - recording, mixing/mastering and it was beyond all the expectations. This guy knows exactly what he's doing, super attentive to every detail, full of ideas/suggestions, always on time and the quality of the overall production is stunning. Can't wait to work on more stuff together!

Me and my guys from Ape On The Rocket work with Pavel second time already. Two years ago he made beautiful post production of our EP "Deacon The Hornet" and now we work together him as producer on our new album. We really enjoy to work with professionals as Pavel.

Interview with Pavel Daniels

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Karybdis - In The Shadow Of Paradise album. That was my very first paying client. Guys in the past worked with legends like Mark Lewis, Russ Russell and I managed to convince them with my skills to come and do their next album with me. I tracked, edited, produced and mixed it all. Still to this day this is one of my favourite sounding records that I worked on.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Does it really matter anymore? It's not the type of tools that you're using that's important, it's how you use them.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What is your band/artist history? If you worked with other engineers, why are you looking for someone else right now? What is your song/ep/album vision? What inspires you? Have you got a release strategy? All these questions are important to me as I am driven by results and want my artists to succeed in their career.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Artists that want their songs to hit hard and sound massive. There's no better feeling than artist giving you a stank face after listening to your mix :)
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: You don't need all that fancy gear. First you need to practice a lot.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually work on a wide variety of alternative music: Melodic death metal, metalcore, hardcore, melodic hardcore, stadium rock, pop rock, indie rock.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: A fresh approach that will serve the song and elevate artists vision to the next level.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: George Lever, Andrew Wade, Tyler Smith, Joey Sturgis, Jordan Valeriote
