I'm Daniel, a 28 year old Music Producer from Portugal. Have been mixing and producing professionally for 10 years. Studied audio engineering at SAE London and won a student version of the Grammys for "Best Recording/Mix" out of 600 entries in their 40 campus world wide competition. After my studies came back to Portugal and opened my own studio

I work from my own private studio, offering mixing, music production/writing and beat making services. As many revisions as needed to get your vision and message across your songs!

Interview with Daniel Rodrigues Studios

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: A rock project that i recorded and mixed for my brother's band. A final mix of that got me a grammy related award, from all the 40 something SAE Audio Engineering campuses around the world, there were 600 entries to the Best Recording/Mix and i won. Had a great week in L.A. Also produced the track with the band, even though i didn't submit in that category.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: It's an ITB set up, Pro Tools HD as main DAW (beat making is done in Ableton) with plugins from most of the biggest brands including UAD. ADAM A8X speakers as mains, Alesis m1 for nearfields. Command 8 control surface and Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro Headphones.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Is there a rough mix for reference? Are there any mix references from other artists?
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Working on the album of an MTV EMA Best Portuguese Act nominated artist, a single and a new artist's ep.

A: All my attention and intention in making your songs sound the best they possibly can!

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Modern sounding, aesthetic.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Files get sent back and forth through Wetransfer or any file sharing system you'd prefer along with mix notes. I like having a skype call to talk about the songs and what you're looking for. In terms of revisions i don't really count them, i like the process to be interactive, not just "here you go, a mix". This way we work towards achieving the sound you want from the get go.

A: Plenty of people from all over the place!

A: Balance is key
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: My background is heavy rock music but also work with a pop/electronic music oriented management company.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I like to think i bring that extra vibe or livelyness the song needs to get the message across. Make it groove.
