Amit Peled on SoundBetter

Let's get your track going with top quality guitar tracks recorded in NYC. All styles and genres. Standard and Outlandish production alike. Contact me with any questions.

My job is to make your track sound great.
I'm excited to hear your music and add what I can to make it even better!

High quality guitar tracks produced with care, attention, and fantastic gear.

I am always excited working on a new project. It could be a straight-forward production with traditional sounds and set up or it could be completely wild and out of the box. I have been fortunate enough to record and play a lot of both and with a whole bag of genres.

Sometimes the songs calles for the classical guitar tone arsenal with clear electrics and acoustic instrumentation. Oher times, a song might need more of a sound-design approach with pedals and plug ins to take the production into a more ethereal state of mind.

In all of those cases, I'm delighted to do my job and fulfill the song's needs.
I also record Mediterranean instruments such as Oud, Baglama, and more.

Wow! Listened to Amit's reel and there was a specific sound I was looking to bring in to one of my tracks. He delivered that to perfection, going above and beyond what I expected. Turnaround time was within 48 hours, far faster than I needed but always welcomed. Communication was also great and he provided many variations for me to choose from, without me having to ask. Wouldn't hesitate to work with Amit again. A really, really talented professional and extremely versatile.

Amit is a total pro!
Only a few hours after I submitted the job he was already sending me the guitar tracks back. Everything sounded exactly like I wanted it to be and he even threw in an alternate version so that I have more to choose from while editing.
Great tone, great attitude, I'm super impressed.

by Ronen S.
My favourite guitar player on the planet and beyond. Unique, creative, versatile and inspiring. Amit sent me back the tracks so quickly, attentive to all my musical requests. On the technical side the files were in super high quality. The tracks were also musically conversing with each other, while each one was having its own independent character, if I need to isolate parts. Thank you Amit for your amazing work, putting your heart in every note.

Interview with Amit Peled

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I once had a live in the studio session with a grand piano tuned to 438 hz, a song written in Db which called for a Drop-Db-ish tunning, reading the chords was like going through a mirror maze. Worked out fine!
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: some old Mediterranean tunes, some old school be-bop, some Bach, and some 80's thrash solos. Never a dull moment.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Yes! Ziv Shalev (gtr), ZooBerry (bass), and Gal Gershovsky (drums) are all phenomenal musicians that would help your track sound great.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Whatever gets the job done.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Leave no man behind. I'm always happy to go above and beyond to make your track sound as good as I can.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The Process.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: "Could you get it done by tomorrow morning?" - yup!
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: The rates!
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: If you have a reference for the music you have in mind it could always be a great help. But I would just ask for a general idea or direction that they're hearing.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Less of an advice and more of an invitation. Feel free to contact me with any question about your music.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Depends on the Island.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been recording professionally for +15 years, I've been extra lucky that as a guitarist I got to specialize in many different styles of music which makes recording sessions always more interesting rather than playing just one musical styles.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: spi•cy spī′sē► adj. Having the flavor, aroma, or quality of spice. adj. Piquant; zesty. adj. Producing or abounding in spices.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Fiona Apple or MF DOOM. I mean come on..
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Safety first.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I'm fortunate enough that there's always something different coming through and keeping things interesting. It's never "more of the same".
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Patience.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: That extra thing that makes people raise their head up when they listen, usually for the better.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: It's rare that things would be typical, there's a certain workflow for more mainstream sounds but there's always an extra factor that would make the session special. Knowing the deadline always helps!
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Everything from your classical go to sounds - great pre-amps, signature sounding guitars and also piles and piles of one-of-a-kind pedals, plug-ins, and other string instruments.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Marc Ribot, Wes Montgomery, Buckethead, Aris-San, and Dimebag.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Guitar tracks: sometimes in a more standard direction, sometimes completely outlandish. I'd say that in many of the calls I get, people will choose me specifically if they need something that sounds unique and more out of the box, but it could also be because they need it immediately and we're racing against the clock.
