A: I'm generally easy-going worker, where I take my time throughout my day to jump in and out of projects. When Im working on the project, I'm efficient, moving quickly and know exactly what I want to go for with a sound.

A: I work in essentially the worst possible space for mixing with a professional monitor/desk set up. Which is why I turn out a good mix. Why though?
