Alan Siegler on SoundBetter

Mix Engineer & Producer / Owner of Cardboard Alchemy: SoHo, New York.

While growing up in Virginia Beach, I was exposed to a huge range of music which cultivated my appreciation of many types of music and carries over into my work today. It isn't uncommon for me to jump from a Dub track to an experimental electronic track, then to a hip hop track in the same day.

Interview with Alan Siegler

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Where do you envision this record being played? How/what do you want people to feel from this record? What do you feel works about the rough mix? & what do you feel doesn't work about it?
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Alex Aldi is a talented mixer - he mixed most of the Ghastly City Sleep catalogue that I worked on. & I don't know them personally but Matt Bishop and Ben Etter mixed tracks that I wanted a different perspective on through SoundBetter: both of them did wonderful jobs and are great mixers. If you don't go with me: be sure to check them out.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog for 3d depth, Digital for recall and automation.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is more of an anti-style (especially while mixing) If I do my job correctly, people experience the song directly and my presence is completely transparent.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Sound selection, and context is key. A stock sound that sounds ridiculous on it's own can sound amazing in the right context.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work in a hybrid setup. Mostly in the box, and then analogue gear on summing and master 2 bus.
