“Music is the one language where we don’t just hear — we feel, understand, and connect beyond words.” - Leopoldo Lopes

Music is universal, yet deeply personal.

It's the one language that transcends barriers, speaks to the soul, and connects us all without needing a single word.

In our studio, we don’t just work on sound — we craft emotions, tell stories, and build connections that go beyond the ordinary.

This was our first time working with Markbass, and the results were not as good as expected. We managed to post-produce those results to sound really great, but that’s not how we like it.�We love to capture almost the final sound of any instrument and use a little bit of this and that in the post-production stage (mainly mixing), but we do not entirely change its tone, dynamics, or sound.
Living and learning - as a tip, try to use the fewest pedals possible when recording guitars and bass - only if it’s part of your signature sound.

Difficult Roads Often Lead to Beautiful Destinations.

Life and our work journeys are full of bumps, twists, and unexpected turns — moments that challenge us, push us, and sometimes feel like a lot to handle. But it’s in these tough times that we really grow. Every obstacle teaches us something, helping us see things more clearly and shaping us into who we’re meant to be. 🌟

The end goal might look a little fuzzy — a thought, an idea, a dream. But it’s out there, just waiting for us. We must keep moving forward, giving our best, and putting our hearts into the people and projects we care about. Because at the end of those tough roads is where the real beauty is. That’s where the magic happens. 💜

There's something about punk that we could be more fond of. While in Germany, Leopoldo Lopes worked almost daily with punk and punk rock bands, producing, recording, mixing, and mastering countless songs. However, it never was and still isn't a style he likes to work on.

😉 Sometimes, we must be the professional artists and bands seek. We should understand the language and can still elevate the music these artists bring us to the next level. In that case, we do it without even blinking.

🔥 Bombshell Rocks is one of those bands Leopoldo Lopes had to work on, co-producing and mixing 6 songs for their second studio album, "Cityrats & Alleycats," 📅 released today in 2000.

"Cityrats & Alleycats" grew up on Leopoldo Lopes while working on it, and it was not just another punk rock album since Mathias Färm (from Millencolin) fully produced it. Färm added a layer of sophistication to the fast-paced riffs and anthemic choruses that still resonate today.
Blending classic punk influences like The Clash with a modern edge set them apart. Critics hailed its gritty energy and tight construction, and tracks like "Radiocontrol" became fan favorites.

This album also has a deep meaning for the band; they dedicated it to their late friend Linus Holmberg (1977-1999), adding an emotional layer to its punk anthems.

One of the things Leopoldo Lopes loved about working on this album was the band's determination to keep things authentic. ✨
Bombshell Rocks packed each song with explosive energy, layered with fast-paced shredding guitar solos, tight rhythms, and a mix of vocal styles that made every track feel fresh.

😊 To us, albums like this are all about capturing the moment, the spirit, and the raw energy of the artists in the studio. We're so grateful to be a part of this album's history. 🙂

If you're looking for a punk record that'll get you up and moving, give Cityrats & Alleycats a listen today!

🏢 Since 9/11, the world has witnessed a surge of albums and songs dedicated to this dark American episode. Bon Jovi's eighth studio album, 'Bounce,' released on this day, 📅 on the 8th of October 2002, is a mournful addition to this narrative, carrying a profound emotional weight and reflection on that era.

💜 "Bounce" was heavily inspired by the post-9/11 world, focusing on themes of resilience, hope, and the ability to bounce back after tough times.
Jon Bon Jovi mentioned that the album's title was about America's strength to "bounce back" in adversity.
Tracks like "Undivided" and "Everyday" capture those raw yet hopeful vibes that so many connected with.

💡 Did you know that when recording "Bounce" at The Sanctuary Sound II in New Jersey and Capitol Studios in LA, the band was determined to blend their classic rock sound with a heavier, introspective edge and that Leopoldo Lopes was one of the assisting producers on tracks like "The Distance" and "Open All Night"?
Leopoldo Lopes feels proud to be part of this project and to have worked closely with Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Tico Torres, David Bryan, and Hugh McDonald.

Despite facing mixed reviews, the album shot up to No. 2 on the Billboard 200, marking Bon Jovi's highest debut then! 🔥

The album's success is a testament to the band's evolution and determined commitment to capturing the spirit of the times. Despite the heavier themes, the band remained true to their signature sound, creating an album that serves as a true time capsule of that era.

🌟 To us in the studio, this is what music is all about — capturing emotions and stories in a way that resonates deeply with listeners.

📌 Getting your music heard can be tough, but we've seen firsthand how a few DIY PR hacks can help local artists gain exposure.

Here at Sound Pressure Studios, we know it's not just about creating amazing tracks — it's also about getting them out there. So, we've put together some tips to help you connect with your local scene and get well-deserved attention!

First up, connect with local media. Your city or district likely has radio stations, blogs, and magazines focusing on the local music scene. Reach out to them with a brief, friendly email introducing yourself and your music. A press release about your latest single, album, or upcoming show can go a long way. Send you EPK! Don't be afraid to make it personal — let them know why your music matters to the community. Building a local fanbase can start with just one good article or radio spin.

Leverage social media to showcase your local roots. Share stories about your favorite venues, local hangouts, and experiences in the city's music scene. Tag locations and use hashtags relevant to your area to help local fans find you. Also, get involved with community events and open mics. It's a fantastic way to meet other artists, network, and build a genuine presence in the local music community.

Another great hack? Collaborate with local businesses. Partner with cafes, bars, or record stores for small events, performances, or giveaways. When local companies share your content, it exposes you to their customer base, which often includes passionate music lovers. And when you show that you're invested in the community, people are more likely to support your music.

Lastly, remember the power of DIY flyers and posters! A little bit of old-school promotion can still make a significant impact. Put up eye-catching flyers at local spots where musicians and fans hang out. Include a QR code linking to your music or social media.

Let's continue to foster our music community by being innovative and establishing relationships!

💪🏻 Today, we're turning the volume up and revisiting Static-X's third album, "Shadow Zone," which dropped on October 7, 2003! We're proud that Leopoldo Lopes was part of this project as the master transfer engineer on the tracks "Control It," "So," and "Transmission." The band recorded this one at NRG Recording Studios and Pulse Recordings in LA, pushing their signature industrial metal sound into more melodic and emotional territory.
Wayne Static once said, "We wanted to keep the heaviness but explore different ways of expressing it," and you can hear that evolution throughout the album.

⚒️ ”Shadow Zone" was produced by Josh Abraham alongside the band, marking a significant shift in their sound. The album features a mix of intense guitar riffs, electronic elements, and raw vocals while adding more structure and hooks that made tracks like "The Only" fan favorites a testament to the band's dedication to their fans.

Despite mixed reviews, "Shadow Zone" is celebrated for its daring approach to industrial metal. It proves that blending aggression with melody can create something truly powerful.
It's that kind of experimentation we live for here in the studio — making every mix, riff, and lyric resonate! 🤘

💜 ”Proud Like a God" wasn't just another rock album; it became a massive success, especially thanks to the hit single "Open Your Eyes," which topped charts across Europe.

Today, we're returning to 1997, when Guano Apes released their debut album, "Proud Like a God"! This album was a game-changer in the rock scene, fusing metal, alternative rock, and even some rap-rock vibes.
The band's willingness to blend heavy guitar sections with catchy hooks was truly ahead of its time, setting them apart in the late '90s alternative scene. This blend of aggression and melody, along with Sandra's powerhouse vocals, gave the album its iconic status. 🏆

✨ We also want you to know that Leopoldo Lopes was an assisting producer and recording engineer on tracks like "Wash It Down" and "Suzie." It was a thrill to capture the raw energy of Sandra Nasić's dynamic vocals paired with those intense guitar riffs! The album took shape mostly at Horus Studio in the Netherlands, where the band worked tirelessly, pouring their hearts and souls into carving out their unique sound.

👂🏻 Finally, we'd love for you to know that these songs and our entire portfolio are available on our website and Spotify profile, with three selected playlists: Latest Releases, Work Highlights, and Complete Works. 📌 https://lnk.bio/soundpressurestudios
Enjoy.

We have to confess: 😊We're not die-hard fans of punk rock. However, the album 'More Betterness!' by No Use For A Name is a game-changer 😎. It showcases the band's evolution into a more melodic approach to punk rock while still retaining the raw, emotional energy they're well-known for. 😉 This album is a testament to the fact that punk can evolve without losing its essence.

📅 Even then, we want to remember Leopoldo Lopes's work on No Use For A Name's fifth album, "More Betterness!" which was released today in 1999.
He worked as an assisting producer and mixing engineer on tracks like "Why Doesn't Anybody Like Me?" (one of this album's best-known songs) and "Sleeping In."

With tracks written by the incredible Tony Sly, "More Betterness!" delves deep into introspective lyrics wrapped in irresistible, catchy hooks, making it a musical gem.
We love how they even brought in cello and piano elements, adding a new texture to their punk sound.

Fun fact: they covered "Fairytale of New York" featuring Cinder Block on vocals, showing their willingness to experiment and play with genres.

💜 It's that kind of spirit we celebrate in the studio every day!

🔥 It's now 25 years of "Ghosts".

📅 On this day in 1999, Rage dropped their 14th album, "Ghosts," one of those unforgettable albums where one of our favorite bands took their heavy metal fingerprint blended with orchestral and symphonic elements.

As a team effort, the production and post-production teams collaborated to drop this album as one of their favorites.
💪🏻 Leopoldo Lopes teamed up with Jörg Umbreit on the mixing and Hans Jörg Maucksch on the mastering. The recording process was done in two studios in Germany, Principal Studios and Pyramix Studios, where again, Leopoldo Lopes had the chance to engineer and record some of these amazing orchestral and symphonic pieces. 🌟

Produced by Peter "Peavy" Wagner and Victor Smolski, "Ghosts" shows how bold experimentation can redefine a band's sound. Tracks like "Love and Fear Unite" feature crushing guitar riffs and intricate orchestral arrangements. This kind of fusion makes the album so memorable and unique to work on. It's the magic we aim to capture in the studio daily.

📌 The engineering on this album was a complex and intricate process, a delicate work of crafting soundscapes where heavy guitars coexist harmoniously with piano and strings.

Every choice made during recording and mixing was about creating a captivating world, a sonic journey that listeners could lose themselves in.

🔥 Albums like "Ghosts" are a reminder that music has no boundaries.
It inspires us to keep exploring new sonic territories with every artist that walks through our doors. Keep pushing those creative limits, everyone! 🖤
