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.
Your EQ Can't Fix a Voicing Problem
If two tracks sound fine soloed and bad together, that is an arrangement problem wearing an EQ costume. Separation comes from note choice, not from carving.
Your Chorus Isn't Small. Your Verse Is Too Big.
Your chorus doesn't lift because of what it contains, but because of the distance between it and the eight bars before it. Contrast is built in the verse.
Your Dummy Lyric Was Right
The gibberish you sing over a fresh melody is not a placeholder. It is a transcription of the melody's physical shape, and most finished lyrics quietly break it.
Your Demo Beat Your Record
The demo doesn't have magic, it has fewer problems. Three things that go wrong between the voice memo and the master, and the level-matched A/B that names them.
The Humanize Knob Won't Fix Your Drums
The humanize knob makes a machine slightly worse at being a machine. Real drums feel real because a drummer reacts to what everyone else is playing.
Your Tempo Came From the Riff, Not the Song
Most producers set a tempo from an unaccompanied riff and never revisit it. Here's the ten-minute vocal test that finds the tempo the song actually wants.
The Song Is in the Guitar's Key, Not Your Voice's
Guitar players write in guitar keys, and the chorus ends up sitting too low to lift. A range test that tells you exactly where the song should live.
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.
