Welcome to Alexzaviar.com
Greetings, my name is Alexzaviar, I am a Colorado based Music Producer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, mixer and remixer.
It is my job to provide you with the technical skills that will realize your artistic vision.
Production
Add additional production on to your demo, produce tracks for your vocals, or start from the beginning and build a track from the ground up. Contact us and tell us about your project and we can start shaping your masterpiece.
Remixing
Get a completely fresh and different take on your tracks. Remixes that will incorporate organic hardware, as well as in-the-box libraries combined with some organic instrumentation in order to set your tracks apart.
Editing
Drum and instrument editing, tuning vocals, and tempo mapping are just a few services that will tighten up your session. Such as taking out excessive breath, bass and guitar finger squeaks, or any other unnecessary noises.
Programming
From drum beats to synths to full orchestras, we can build MIDI elements taking your vision to the next level. Adding swells, risers, explosions, and additional elements to add excitement to your project.
Mixing
We can take your recorded tracks and blend them together to get your track to sound like those of the artists you love. Let us help you manifest your dreams by focusing on what you envisioned.
Session Preparation
Prepare your session to your specs, from organizing and naming tracks to color coding to gain staging. We can work with Pro Tools, Cubase and Reaper.
The Second Verse Is Where Songs Die
Verse one takes fifteen minutes. Verse two takes three weeks and still feels like filler. Here's the structural reason why, and how I fixed it.
Release Day Is Not a Verdict
Release day tests your notification reach, not your music. The songs that found an audience for me did it months later, and here's what that should change.
Print It and Move On
Keeping every sound editable forever feels like freedom, but it stops songs from getting finished. The case for committing tones while you track.
Change the Tuning, Change the Song
When a song won't come, don't blame the well. Blame the map. Retuning the guitar strips your muscle memory and forces you to write something new.
You Comped the Life Out of Your Vocal
The vocal is the one element where listeners hear a person, not your craft. Over-editing removes exactly what makes it sound human.
Bass Is Doing the Real Work
Bass is the instrument most independent producers spend the least time on, and the one doing the most for the song. Here's why your mix feels flat, and how to fix it.
Why Stacking Guitars Makes Them Smaller
A wall of guitars is not a count of tracks. It's two well-recorded takes given space to breathe, and why stacking eight makes it worse.
The Instrument You Start On Is Already in the Song
The instrument you write on imprints itself on the song. A chorus written at a guitar is not the same chorus written at a pad, and knowing this changes how you finish.
Your Defaults Are Eating Your Sound
The plugin chain isn't why your tracks all sound the same. The unconscious choices feeding it are. A method for finding and breaking your defaults.
