BP is a great producer and beat maker. I have consulted with him on various projects ranging from creating custom beats to engineering dialogue. Brandons professionalism & promptness are just a couple of the many reasons we call upon him and his services.
Brandon has great vision and even better ears! I've had the pleasure of working with him on multiple projects where he has had the opportunity to showcase his recording and mixing skills. His workflow is both clear and efficient; allowing you to understand what is going on during different steps of the process. He has yet to disappoint!
Interview with Brandon Pirrone
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: I get asked whether to send things dry or wet most frequently. I will always tell them to send it in a way that sounds best to them. It's easier for me to enhance what you've already created rather than chasing your mix.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: I'd say that mixing can't save everything. It can enhance a record and make it translate well on different mediums, but you need to start with great writing and recording.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I'd like to think I bring my own flair to a track, but in a manner that contributes to the style of the music and artist, rather than hijacking their sound.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Kanye West is one of my biggest inspirations, I've listened to his music since I started making music.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a dedicated mix room in my New York apartment so the commute is minimal. I use Protools for recording and mixing and Ableton for producing. I work mostly digital with an Apollo Twin, a Macbook Pro, FabFilter, UAD, Soundtoys, Waves etc plugins. Beyond just producing and mixing, I am also a proficient drummer.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I bring my best to every project in a creative and unique way, doing what's best for the song. I strive to make my mixes competitve with todays top music.

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Feel free to reach out. I will take the time for enough communication before we start.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I like to start by talking with the artist about the direction of the song and get a few reference tracks to know the target. Then I'll start on the mix and shape all the details step by step. Next, I'll send a first pass to the artist and make adjustments as needed.
