Alex Bispo on SoundBetter

Let me mix and/or edit your track! I'm a graduate of the University of York with a degree in Music and Sound Recording, and self engineered, arranged and mixed an entire album on my own. I am an intern for Noble Street Studios, so I'm aware of the working of the music industry. I specialize in Rock and Pop adjacent genres, but am versatile.

I'm an up and coming audio engineer with experience in recording, mixing and editing music of all kinds. I am strong on customer communication, and will only deliver the track to you after you are completely satisfied.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

Interview with Alex Bispo

Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: It's always fun to hear a song get fully polished and how it goes along throughout the mixing process.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Any reference tracks or specific stylistic choices are important to know up front.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Make sure the style you are looking for is fulfilled with the person you are asking for.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: If I were on a desert island I would bring my computer, a monitor, a good pair of headphones, a MIDI keyboard and my Epiphone Les Paul. With all of that gear I could do absolutely everything I would need to.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: My career path is just starting at the moment. I have been self producing since I was around 15, mostly recording guitar riffs and guitar-based songs, using programmed drums. While at university, I was able to record with musicians and have experience with what it was like working with a professional grade studio. I am now an intern at Noble Street Studios.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Definitely The 1975. Their style of music and production is so unique that I think I would learn a lot from them.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Listen through your phone. If something sounds good through your phone speakers it will sound good to 90% of listeners.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I work on rock and synthwave the most when I am working on my own. Guitar riffs and synth melodies are where I feel at home, and I like to incorporate both into my work.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is my ability to adapt. I like to work in different workflows and different genres as they allow me to learn different techniques and different sounds.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I like to make music accessible. I think having a clean sound that works on both good speakers, good headphones and just an iPhone speaker is extremely important.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My work process starts with me organizing all the tracks, and labeling things clearly. I like to know where important sections are, and I like my tracks to be all organized. After this, I get basic levels and panning down. Afterwards go all of the corrective effects, such as EQ and compression to make sure everything fits together. After this is where I allow my creativity to shine, adding things such as reverbs, delays, saturation, and other artistic effects.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I currently work from home. I own most industry standard plugins and work within Ableton and Pro Tools, depending what is necessary for the session.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I have many inspirations in many of the types of work I do. I'm a big fan of Jack Antonoff, Bob Rock, Butch Vig, Dave Jerden.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: My most common work I have done is mixing.
