I'm listening!

I'm ListeningMy name is Patrick Sasso. I started Uncommon Sound in 1998 while producing and writing for myself and others, pushing my productions to be as unique as the individuals I produced and recorded. I am a self-taught, self-starter who learned his craft on analog gear and borrowed mics. I am a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and composer and I can help you shape your sound and sound great.

My goal is to give you a sound that highlights your uniqueness and captures your own personal style and artistic vulnerability.

My decades of producing, recording, mixing and mastering have given me a special understanding of the balance or creating art and building relationships in the studio and my many years as a musician have given me an ear for when to be experiment and when to keep it simple.

I’ve produced, created, mixed and mastered audio of all kinds and all formats—from broadcast to podcast and everything in-between.

Let me help you bring out your best, your warmest, and your brightest qualities that make you uncommon.PS Initials

WHAT WE DO

Produce, Mix and Master Audio
for Modern Broadcast and Distribution

Independent
Music Producer

Remote or On-Location Recording - Artists and compositions are unique and deserve a fresh and unbiased treatment. I act as an extra pair of ears and stage hands to bring your recordings to life. I can simply act as an agent and facilitator or simply a solid sounding-board; or I can get in there and help you flesh out tracks and build on ideas that give your recordings that extra something special. I use any and all available tools.

Mix

Inside-the-box with primarily Logic, and Pro-Tools for broadcast and film. I have mixed on all Adobe products and Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve. While I prefer to mix with my go-to plug-ins, mixes can be a collaboration as well as a solo project so I have and can employ several of the commercial plugins or use stock plugins. Sometimes you just want someone to build on your vision and that’s great so I can accommodate and way that’s most convenient for you.

Mastering

All stereo broadcast and distribution platforms.
I have a simple approach to mastering—I master what is mixed. I’ll balance and bring out the best in your mix or master what I mix for you. I can do a stem master for more control, or—what I prefer—a single stereo track. I’ll give your track the loudness that it can handle and make sure it stands up to the competition. Uncommon Sound is a certified Apple Digital Master.
