Alex is an excellent mastering engineer with the fastest turnaround times of anyone I've worked with. He also provided invaluable support across many facets of the music biz (playlisting strategy, press outreach, coding support, and more). His skillset is comprehensive and holistic, extremely responsive to feedback, and always takes my vision into account. It has been a pleasure to develop a collaborative relationship over the years and I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Alex is an incredible engineer and producer - I recently completed a mastering project with him. I have many years of working with various audio engineers and producers and I can easily say Alex is top notch.

I would highly recommend Alex Almgren and Freshly Baked Studios to any artist or production team looking to release and promote new work. Alex is a very frank and straightforward communicator, and his transparency about his work process, his time-tracking and his skillsets was a welcome relief. He doesn't overpromise, and delivers precisely what was agreed. Working with him primarily on Spotify playlisting and FB/IG ad demographic targeting, his work was efficient and timely and as our team had hoped. His decade+ of experience helped demystify elements of the process, and anything he didn't know off the top of his head was quickly researched and communicated to us. Go with Alex!

I had the pleasure to work with Alex on two new singles. He not only produced the record, mixed and mastered but also became a friend through the process. I sent him over a bare bone melody through a voice recording as well as sent him refrences of what I want the songs to sound and feel like. He was able to produce my vision with just the little bit of information I gave him. I am so proud of the music we created together. It's really hard to find genuine good people in the industry but he is a rarity. From the beginning he took my little vision and made it a reality and did it in a way I would not be able to do myself and he was quick! He works fast and hard and his passion radiates through the music. He wants to see the music succeed. He is a great producer because he genuinely loves the music!

After years of working with many engineers we have found “the one”. Alex is a great mixing and mastering engineer with a product that is 110% commercial quality. He is also fun to work with and is very organized with his schedule and follow up.

Alexander recently mastered the first release of my new label Rift Vision and after hearing how vibrant, lush, and polished the tracks sound, I can safely say he will be mastering all RV releases in the future! He has such an innate gift, it is a really unique way of hearing and shaping sound. Aside from his many talents, he's also a joy to work with - professionalism paired with a wonderful sense of humor. Could not recommend him enough!

Alex mastered my most recent single, "Murdara"---his work is stellar! As a producer and audio engineer myself, I understand sound quality, so I knew exactly what I wanted and he delivered my master in record time! I'm looking forward to working with him on the next project.
Renee Gagner
Recorded a voiceover job with Alex, and it was a great experience! He is a fun guy with great energy, works efficiently, and is very knowledgeable :)
Elek Moon
It was an absolute pleasure working with Alexander! After listening to “Maintainers” by MOMOMO, I knew I had to work with him. The mix I brought to him was lacking excitement and originality. In only one session, we were able to elevate the song's production, mixing and mastering to a total new level! His experience and knowledge was impressive; anything I thought of was quickly translated into sound. The studio was also very nice and comfy - the perfect setting for making music! I'm happy I found someone who understands my artistic vision while also adding fresh and unique ideas of their own. Would definitely recommend and am deff coming back!

Alex and I just completed mastering my second EP. The tracks sound amazing. This is the third time I've been back to get my tracks mastered at Freshly Baked. His technical skill and his ability is definitely not to be messed with (which I talked about in the last review)! Working with Alex has been a true collaborative process - a real back and forth. I allow enough space for him to do his thing and he allows enough space for me to do my process in a way where both our voices are heard together. It's really exciting to work this way since music comes back the absolute best it can be from both mine and his standpoint, and that is priceless. Thanks again Alex!

I met Alex at a 'Pie Off' in Bed Stuy two Novembers ago. He made his legendary Key Lime Pie for tasting which came fully packaged and branded - who was this guy? My contribution (my grandmother's Dutch apple pie) ended up being the victor but nonetheless we hit it off. We decided to work on 5 songs with Alex and we'd highly recommend working with him. Alex took the time to craft our vision through a combination of talent, technical expertise and experience. He created a calm studio environment, drawing the best performances and takes through a straightforward and low pressure process. All the tracks were built from our ROUGH practice space demos and he worked with the band to create a sophisticated and polished finished product without missing any of the original details. He was flexible and patient with varying and sometimes unpredictable schedules. Alex expanded on our ideas and brought his own to the table, enhancing our songs with harmonies, layers and small flourishes that complemented and completed our songs. Freshly Baked is beautiful, comfortable and full of primo equipment we had at our disposal which teamed with Alex producing, ultimately made the difficult process of recording easy and fun. On the final day of revisions, Alex cooked Curry for the boys to celebrate the records completion! What more can you ask for?

Alex is the best, took my rough mixes here to be mastered and he brought them to a whole new level. Excellent rates, and everything was done on time. Beautiful and professional studio (with great coffee, very important). Will definitely be bringing future projects to Alex.
Georgia Pullis
Alex is amazing to work with! He crafted an fantastic production of my song from a rough worktape, coached my vocal performance and brought my song to life in a way that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. His patience and attention to detail working on the project made for a very enjoyable experience making art! Would recommend and will work with again!
Amanda Steckler
Definitely recommend. Worked with Alexander (Freshly Baked Studios) for my most recent release. It was last a last minute request and he got it done super quickly but without taking any shortcuts. He worked with me to understand exactly what sound I was looking for and had input when I needed a second opinion. He's really into the work he does and it shows in the final product.
Shiffley
Our project would not have been possible without the flexibility and painstaking attention to detail of Freshly Baked. Alex puts his heart into every project. He's able to consistently deliver tracks that have all the power of the Top 10 but with handmade careful attention.
Randal Pierrre
Alexander is a great guy to work with and he is very good at what he does. He works with you to make whatever you have in your mind about what you think it should sound like and makes it comes to life. He is a creative genius and i can assure you that you will be satisfied at the end of the session.
Claudio Tarchi
Amazing guy and amazingly talented. He's helped breathe a new life into my music by implementing his expansive knowledge of sound and musical expression without compromising my artistic visions. Highly recommended!
Jonathon Baumann
This dude mastered my album and mixed down one of my tracks--amazing results. He definitely knows how to work in the studio. Well worth my money, will be coming back again next time I need more stuff mastered. I recommend!!!
Satellite Mode
Wish there was a way to rate this studio 6 stars. Alex is a delight to work with and is a true talent, as his passion shines through his every key stroke. If you have the chance to work with Alex on a track or album, hop in and enjoy the pristine, freshly baked results.
Jonathan Russ
Alex is skilled, professional, and friendly - and his mixes sound incredible. He took 20 channels of live audio with tons of bleed and made them into a beautiful track. He has a musician's ear, and works to serve the song first - and he doesn't shy away from gritty work. I can't recommend Freshly Baked enough, and I can't wait to work with Alex again.
Maurice Goldberg
Alex is a true mixing god! He knew exactly what to do with my track. He turned what was originally just some demo into a living breathing piece of glossy, professional audio. I'm forever thankful to him for his expertise! I would recommend Freshly Baked Studios to anyone interested in making beautiful art, because Alex knows how to make that a reality.
Jason Matuskiewicz
Spectacular producer! Highly recommended.
cocktail kisses
Great energy! Alex was super accommodating and professional. Understood my vision, and made it come to life and was very honest and patient with me! As an artist who likes full control of her/his work- it is important to work with someone who can understand that, yet still be able to give constructive criticism along with ideas: without being overbearing. He is super confident in his craft, talented and fun to work with!!!!
Michael Mason

Maxwell Tetrault
Professionalism and everything you'd need equipment wise from a stand up dude. Alex was accommodating to all of our needs, patient, and well versed in protools and all hardware associated with it. Man is a wizard. Two thumbs up, highly recommended.
Brad Roberts
Alexander really brought my songs to life.... was totally patient with me being new to home recording and taught me a couple of things. He is my go to for mixing and mastering.
Sami Fitz
Freshly Baked Studios is the best. It's a warm, creative, and collaborative space where you feel at ease with the creative process. Plus, Alex is a musical powerhouse who can make any song great. I'd recommend this place in a heartbeat!
