Interview with Wade Alin

  1. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  2. A: The goal is always for listeners to feel what the artist felt at their highest point of inspiration. I often start by refining individual tracks on a technical level - tightening a beat, replacing a sound or two. Adding or enhancing an existing sound. I’m first and foremost a programmer and have a deep understanding of how sounds work in unison. I am also very well versed in orchestration and will often add symphonic elements to the tracks I produce.

  3. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  4. A: Both. They are both immensely poweful tools for making music sound great! In conjunction, even more so.

  5. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  6. A: Focus on finding your voice, your sound. That one thing that sets you apart. Don't sweat the details, I will : )

  7. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  8. A: A long time. I have been a Universal Music recording artist, a remixer, a beatmaker, a composer for film and television, a mastering engineer. I've worked on hundreds of releases and worn every hat as both an artist and as a producer.

  9. Q: How would you describe your style?

  10. A: A cross between FKA Twigs, NIN, and Massive Attack.

  11. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  12. A: Learn to use transient designers, don't overdo it!
