Alfredo Paz on SoundBetter

Remote Music Production, Mixing and Mastering Services. Give your productions that radio ready sound! I have over 30 years of professional experience working from independent artists to major international talents and companies including the BBC, Warner Brothers, José Carreras and Jamie Cullum

I am a Producer, Audio Engineer and Sound Designer with an incredible passion for music and audio post-production. I always treat my clients' projects as true collaboration and I provide a personalised service achieving great sounding mixes full of life and emotions. Most of my clients always describe me as honest, passionate and they are always impressed with the sense of space I give to the mixes. Collaboration is paramount for me, I only take jobs that transmit emotions and passion. I like working with many styles of music, so, I can mix and master more than the advertised list. Additionally, I will always offer genuine recording advice and production tips if your music needs any extra work previous to being mixed. Please get in touch to discuss your project or to ask any questions.

I leave you with a segment of a review of an audiobook I recorded and mixed (On Purpose) where the reviewer made a comment on the feeling the voice of the narrator transmitted to him; "As you listen, it feels like he's here with you. He's got your back"

I was very satisfied with Alfredo's work, he work on my track and mixed it within few days after few back and forth feed backs. He was very professional with his service and he help me making my track sounding professional. I absolutely recommend Alfredo.
by Daniel Hale
Excellent service. Sent a number of tracks recorded in various locations (and sound quality) and Alfredo got every single one sounding great. Couldn't be happier.
by B. Edwards
Alfredo and the team worked on some tricky episodes of a podcast series. I threw loads of curve balls and they knocked them all out of the park. Rare to find such great workmanship and diligence at a reasonable price. Looking forward to working with them again soon.
by Daniel Matthers
Fantastic option if you need top quality mixing. No regrets.
by Klaus White
Alfredo has done some incredible mixing and mastering for me. I generally need a quick turnaround for my TV and soundtrack projects and he always creates outstanding results in record time. Highly recommended.

Interview with Alfredo Paz

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Producing and arranging a Dark Covers EP (project) with a fantastic singer collaborator. I'm also recording and producing folk album for a fantastic UK based band.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started about 30 years ago by recording my bands and my own compositions for films. I then worked as an audio engineer for a radio station for two years. After this, I went to University and studied two BA degrees ( Film Making and Recording Arts). This followed by working 3 years as the Chief Sound Engineer in a professional recording studio until it sadly closed down! This forced me to move to the live sound industry, which I have been alternating with my freelancer studio audio engineering career since then. I have done live sound all over the world, and I have worked with many world-renowned artists such as The Black Eyed Peas and José Carreras. Studio-wise, I have recorded and mixed 100's of tracks including orchestral music in both my studio or major recording studios such as Air Studios in London. I have also sound-designed and supervised award winning Films, TV documentaries, and much more.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Sound Designed and Re-Recorded (this is a term that means mixing in the film world) three features films. Why, am I proud of them? Apart for the thousands of hours of work, there is nothing more rewarding than hearing great feedback, reviews and not to mention to feel the reactions of a live audience when you watch the film back in a cinema. Also, knowing a few film projects were officially selected or awarded in mumerous international film festivals including a Cannes Film Festival selection and a BAFTA short film always put a smile in your face. Music wise, I always love working with one of my long term's client, Ramón Ruiz. His music is so dynamic, complex, expressive, and so well performed that it always a pleasure to mix and master.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Honesty, passion, hard-work and obviously a radio ready song.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Contact me and we will discuss your project prior to the submission of your stems. I'm here to help you achieve your goals.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Work on the arrangement, a good arrangement equals a great mix. Then, listen carefully, and listen again.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Acoustic bands, Jazz, Flamenco, World, Classical, singer-songwriters, pop, soft rock, latin, etc. I basically love most type of music. I also, work with films, TV, Podcasts, and Audiobooks.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Well balanced and spacious radio-ready Mixes and Masters full of life and emotions.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: It depends on the project and requirements. Firstly, I listen to the project a few times to get familiar with it and to try to understand all the parts before touching anything else. I will then compare the client's notes and my initial notes and take it from there.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: 5.1 Surround Studio with high end Blue Sky Audio and Neumann monitoring. Excellent acoustics treatment. I have a combination of analog and digital gear, but, experience, passion and a set of good ears beat everything else.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Music Mixing and Mastering. Music Production. Audio Post-production (Sound Design, Audio Editing, and Re-recording Mixing).
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Clean and spacious.

A: Any talented and inspiring musician out there!
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Listening to clients' visions, and reproducing their visions into professional-sounding results.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Good ears!
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I couldn't live without music or sounds.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Their expectations and what are they trying to achieve.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: The list is endless.
