Interview with Alexei Paredes

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Various projects.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both are good. Analog is warm and true, and digital is modern and commercial.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I'll give you an excellent job. You can be sure!
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The possibility of creating nuances that make all the difference.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Play in your sound, without fear. The music is made of that brilliant moment; they are marked forever.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My MacBook, DX7, phones, MIDI and audio interfaces.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I graduated in keyboard, piano and arrangement by CIGAM, in Rio de Janeiro. It's 20 years of experience.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Eclectic.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: The Wailers. I love reggae music, man!
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Try it all. Record multiple takes. Stick with the one that is your sound.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Reggae, pop, rock and worship.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Synths (leads and pads, I love it), keyboards (organs mainly) and piano are my strong points.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: The experience of more than 20 years on stage and recordings. I know exactly what works and what doesn't in a song.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Usually I receive the music with just the voice and an instrument. I always ask them to send the beat, but that's not always possible. From this material, I begin my creative process.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I always finish my tracks in Logic. I love the sound of this DAW. I can even start with Ableton or Bitwig, but I'll finish with Logic. I use FM sounds a lot, I'm passionate about this synthesis; my DX7 and plugins like Dexed and Arturia's DX7 V are almost mandatory in any production.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Aston Barret Jr., Manudigital, Johnny Essi, Peter James, Fabrício Martins, Jaime Hinckson and more.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I usually record keyboard and synth tracks in online sessions. In the studio I work not only as a musician, but mainly as a producer and arranger.
