    Working with Alex has always been very collaborative and I feel we have gotten to know each other to a point where we also understand each other's styles a lot better. Consequently the work product has improved. Thanks for all the hard work!

    What's left to say... Alex has mixed and mastered dozens of tracks for us.
    He's been challenged by the level of detail we have on our music, the complete different styles from one song to the other, the complexity of certains songs and he's always given us the right suggestions when asked.

    For sure one of the best (if not the best) on the platform.

    Vocal tuning is not natural. At last, I tune and mix the song myself. Sorry.... but i expected better quality. Nice person to work with tho

    Good quality mixing and mastering with great communication.
    Alex worked on my song until the result suits me. He delivered each revision within 24 hours.

    Alex deserves his 5 stars reviews.

    Just finished the mixing and mastering of my second lofi album with Alex, and am so grateful for his knowledge, skill, generosity, patience, easy-going working style, and partnership.

    Alex is a true professional. He gives each project, each song, his all. And most importantly, I feel I can have open and honest conversations with him about the art we're creating together. At the end of the day, isn't creating good art together what this is all about?

    Thank you again Alex, and talk soon.

    This is the last song on the album Alex and I are currently mixing and mastering together, and another one of a long line of songs we've completed together.

    I can't say enough about Alex's work ethic/style, professionalism, friendliness, and skill. He is a true collaborator and I'm so grateful I've had him by my side and supporting me through two albums now.

    Thank you so much and look forward to future projects, Alex!

    I can't recommend Alex enough. As a newbie to SoundBetter, he guided me through the process with patience and kindness, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. His talent for mixing and mastering is evident in his work, and I hope we will have the opportunity to work together in future.

Interview with dontaskalex

  1. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  8. A: My style is simplistic and straight forward.

  9. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  10. A: I would love to work with Post Malone because he just seems like a chill dude to hang out and to work with.

  11. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  12. A: Give it time and try to spread out your sessions over multiple days or weeks. Sometimes you just like an idea because you heard it too often in a row.

  14. A: I am working on lofi, indie pop, pop and chillout music. But i am really open to every kind of genre.

  16. A: Understanding the clients idea.

  17. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  18. A: I bring a lot of experiences from mixing and mastering hundreds of songs. Sometimes my own, sometimes working with other singers and sometimes for complete strangers. I think i can understand the ideas of other people pretty well and i can translate them into the song.

  26. A: There is another mixing and mastering engineer called Fred who does really good work.

  28. A: Digital, because a lot of digital plugins have algorithms implemented designed to reimagine analog tools, for example reverbs and delays.

  34. A: How should you prepare your pre-master: make sure it has some headroom about -6dB

  35. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  36. A: Even though mastering and mixing is pretty technical it has a creative component to it.

  37. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  38. A: Where do you want to publish your track and what sound should be accomplished.

  39. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  40. A: I am focusing on mastering single tracks, or tracks within a bigger project, for example an EP or LP. I am also doing mixing services, so there is the possibility to combine both services into one order.

  41. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  42. A: I am working on a Desktop PC with two KRK 8 ROKIT G3 Speakers and DT770 Pro Headphones. The DAW i use is FL Studio 20. I invested in a few Plugins from Izotope, Youlean and Soundtoys for mastering and mixing purposes.

  43. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  44. A: I am a big fan of the producer Rick Rubin. I just love his positive energy and the calmness in his approach of making music with different styles.
