Paul Whalley on SoundBetter

Over 10 years experience, Platinum Award Winning and over 1 Billion streams globally. I have Produced, Written & Mixed songs for over 200 different artists across almost every genre.

With over 10 years experience Producing & Mixing for 100's of different artists, My career began working as a session musician before transitioning into Production & Mixing.

Over the last decade I have written and produced over 200 released songs for every Major Label and many large Independent Artists. I love getting to understand an artist, their experiences and their influences to create a unique sound for every record. Having my own private studio allows me to have a wide range of solutions to fit every need from In The Box Production to Analogue Mixing and Mastering. I have been a resident at Tileyard Studios in London since 2015 where I have my own studio which allows me to be highly flexible and efficient.

I trained as a classical Musician gaining a Masters in Classical Composition from The Guildhall School of Music. This understanding of Music Theory and Orchestration along with a vast amount of experience across many genres whilst producing and mixing helps me understand on a unique level how to craft the right sound for your record every time.

I am a true believer that every detail of a song makes the difference down the the last vocal tuning edits or finding that perfect snare sound. I'm excited to hear about your next project and how I can help bring it to the next level!

Interview with Paul Whalley

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Various albums and artist development projects. Helping Artists find their sound and create their vision.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both! You can't beat the ease of revisions digital brings but having access to analogue gear, both outboard and synths, gives you a unique sound every time.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love getting to work on so many different genres and getting to transfer skills across them, for example a drum mixing trick I learned on a rock record might be the perfect solution for thickening up a vocal on a ballad or Rap track.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I always love to hear your references, to truly understand what you're aiming for and to be able to speak the same language about a record.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I began working in studios as a session musician. Originally doing arrangements for strings & brass on various records I gained a knowledge of Pro Tools & Analog recording before transitioning into Writing & Production.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Clean up that low end! Don't be scared of carving or worried if something sound weird on its own. If it sits well with everything else then that's the magic.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Attention to detail. I love diving in on every little corner and finding those little fixes or hidden bots of magic that can make a record.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a large recording space in the heart of London with a mixture of many pieces of classic equipment and modern items that allow me to craft whatever sound is needed and make it unique every time!
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Production & Mixing. Be that being there form the writing of a song or coming in at the end to bring the final touches to it, I'm always happy to try anything to final that last 2% magic!
