What to Look for in an Audio Engineer
Verifiable credits — AllMusic, Discogs, Muso.ai, RIAA, or Billboard listings.
Work in your genre — a metal engineer and a pop engineer are different trades.
Transparent pricing — no hidden fees, no quote-only-after-call gating.
All three stages covered — recording, mixing, and mastering, or a clear referral chain.
A modern remote workflow — file transfers, revision rounds, streaming-ready delivery specs.
Real client reviews — not testimonials cherry-picked from the engineer’s own site.
Why Freshly Baked Studios
Most engineers are either affordable but unproven, or proven but priced for label budgets and booked months out. Freshly Baked Studios sits in the gap — major-label delivery experience with independent-artist accessibility.
Every project is engineered directly by Alexander Almgren — multi-platinum, 19 Billboard Top 20 albums, 3.3 billion+ streams, records delivered for Virgin, Universal, Warner, and 300 Entertainment. No assistants, no rotating roster. Same ear, every project.
One Engineer, the Whole Record
Whatever stage your record is at, there's a door for it in this room: mixing in Brooklyn, mastering with attended sessions, or the full mixing and mastering services ($250–$1,050 per song) — one engineer carrying the record from rough mix to release.
Not in New York? The same engineer and the same chain are available through online mixing and online mastering.
Audio Engineers in Brooklyn & NYC
NYC has no shortage of engineers — the catch is that most are attached to commercial studios where you pay for the room ($1,500+/day) on top of the engineer, or they specialize in a single stage and hand your record off for the rest.
Freshly Baked Studios is one room, one engineer, full chain — recording, mixing, mastering, and Dolby Atmos. The studio is at 332 Rogers Ave in Crown Heights, accessible by the 2/5 trains (Sterling St / Winthrop St) and the B/Q at Prospect Park.
Audio Engineers — FAQ
How do I find a good audio engineer near me?
Look for verifiable credits (Billboard, RIAA certifications, label deliveries), before-and-after examples in your genre, and transparent pricing. Freshly Baked Studios is in Crown Heights, Brooklyn — Alexander Almgren has 19 Billboard Top 20 albums and 3.3B+ credited streams, and works with artists across the US remotely.
Do I need an audio engineer who lives near me?
Not anymore. Mixing and mastering are delivered online for most professional records — file transfers, video calls, and async revision rounds. Clients from Las Vegas, LA, and overseas work with our Brooklyn room without ever visiting. Proximity only matters if you want to record or attend sessions in person.
What does an audio engineer actually do?
An audio engineer handles the technical side of a record: recording (capturing clean takes), mixing (balancing and shaping every element of the song), and mastering (final polish and loudness for streaming platforms). Some engineers specialize in one stage; Freshly Baked Studios covers all three under one roof.
How much does an audio engineer cost?
Hourly rates run $30–$150+ depending on experience and market. Per-song mixing typically runs $200–$1,000+ and mastering $50–$200+ per track at professional level. At Freshly Baked Studios, bundled mixing and mastering runs $250–$1,050 per song — every quote is instant through the rate calculator at freshlybakedstudios.com/rates.
What is the difference between an audio engineer and a producer?
The producer shapes the creative side — arrangement, sound selection, performances, direction. The audio engineer executes the technical side — tracking, mixing, mastering. On many records the same person does both. Alexander Almgren produces and engineers, so you are not coordinating between two people.
Where is Freshly Baked Studios located?
We are at 332 Rogers Ave in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY 11225. Easily accessible by the 2/5 (Sterling St) and B/Q (Prospect Park) trains. In-person sessions are by appointment.
Can you mix or master my song remotely?
Yes — most of our projects are remote. Send your files, get the first pass back, give notes over email or a call, and we revise until it is right. The workflow is identical whether you are in Bushwick or Las Vegas.
