Produce mix and master songs

Federico Alonso on SoundBetter

Music is vibration, frequency and intention. I don’t follow formulas — I tune into artists.

🎛️ Hey! I’m Fede, a 26-year-old music producer and mixing engineer with over 8 years of experience. I specialize in crafting songs from scratch — from beat production to vocal editing, mixing, and mastering — always with a strong focus on emotion, vibe, and clarity.

I work across a wide range of genres, but I thrive in modern sounds like R&B, Pop, Trap, Reggaeton, Urban, House, and Afro House. Whether you’re an artist with just a voice memo or someone who needs that final polish before release, I can help bring your vision to life.

I’m all about clean communication, fast delivery, and making sure the song feels authentic to you, not just “industry standard.” Let’s make something that feels real and sounds incredible.

Interview with Federico Alonso

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

  2. A: Come with references, a rough idea of the vibe, and an open mind. The more context you give me upfront, the better — but don't worry if you can't put it into words yet, that's what the conversation is for. Be honest about what you like and what you don't, feedback is part of the process. And trust that the human side of this matters as much as the technical — the best results always come from a real connection between artist and producer.

  3. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  4. A: Midi keyboard, computer, audio interface, headphones and a mic.

  5. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  6. A: I have been doing this for 8 years now. I studied music production in 2 different schools in Argentina, I have done several production, mixing and mastering courses and one in Barcelona, Spain. I play guitar since I was a kid.

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

  8. A: Catriel and Paco Amoroso. The way they take unconventional ideas and turn them into hits is something I find genuinely inspiring. There's a fearlessness in what they do — nothing feels safe or calculated, yet everything lands. That kind of creative risk-taking is exactly the energy I want to be around.

  9. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  10. A: Pop, r&b, trap, reggaeton, indie, house, afrobeat.

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

  12. A: It depends on the artist. Some want to be involved in every decision, others give me full creative freedom — I adapt to both. What's always the same is the starting point: a musical idea, a feeling, a reference. From there we build a structure, develop the arrangement, and keep refining until the track sounds clean, cohesive and ready for release. The process is different every time, and that's exactly what keeps it interesting.

  13. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  14. A: Ableton Live on laptop, SSL2+ audio interface, JBL studio monitors, Sennheiser HD 650 headphones, Shure SM7B mic, MIDI keyboard, Fender electric guitar, acoustic guitar and bass. Everything I need to take a project from the first chord to a release-ready master without leaving the room.

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

  16. A: My references span generations — from Quincy Jones and his approach to arrangement and emotion, to modern producers like Pharrell Williams, d'Mile, Mike Dean, Illangelo and Kaytranada. What connects all of them is intentionality: every sound has a reason to be there. I'm also constantly listening to new artists and emerging talent — I think staying close to what's happening right now is just as important as knowing the history.

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

  18. A: Full production, mix and master — but the technical side is only half of it. What I care most about is creating a space where the artist feels confident enough to show up fully. No judgment, no pressure to sound like anyone else. In my experience, the best performances and the most honest songs come out when the artist feels safe, not when they're trying to meet a standard. The human connection between producer and artist is where the real work happens — everything else follows from that.

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

  20. A: I think there isn't a project I am not proud of because all of them are a sign of the progress I have achieved throughout the years.

  21. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  22. A: I am always working on new songs that someday are going to see the light.

  23. Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

  24. A: No.

  25. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  26. A: Digital, because I was born in the 2000s.

  27. Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

  28. A: I promise they are not going to regret working with me. I am a very conscious and autocritical person that is getting better day by day and will never deliver a product that sucks.

  29. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  30. A: The possibility of always stay connected with my creativity and having the opportunity to share those creations to the world.

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

  32. A: None

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

  34. A: I usually ask clients if they are really commited to doing this project.

  35. Q: How would you describe your style?

  36. A: Catchy, modern and fresh.

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

  38. A: I love using sound effects plugins in order to develop new modern and spatial sounds and also mixing those with foley, organic textures.

  39. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  40. A: I think that my strongest skill is the possibility to make any song sound mainstream. Meaning that I am very good at creating catchy melodies, sounds and hooks, making everyone to like it but yet keeping a lot of complexity in the production process.

  41. Q: What's your typical work process?

  42. A: Usually I tend to ask the artist for music references in order for me to know which is the vibe she/he is looking for. Once we have a deep talk about music tastes, I start producing. Searching for the right vibe in order to inspire the artist to write and develop a song. I usually start with some chords and then I move forward.
