Interview with Alchemy Sound Labs (online)

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Do you want me to add any special effects, or are we simply going for clarity.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

Q: What's your typical work process?
A: First I play through the song multiple times and take notes on any aspects I want to change. After my first initial sweep, I then go through multiple playbacks and adjust until the audio has no elements that are unsatisfactory. Then I begin additive measures. I then boost appealing frequencies, increase clarity with compression, and begin widening the the stereo field. Afterwards I guarantee you will notice a huge difference in the audio quality, clarity, and over-all appeal of your track/tracks.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I Have Krk Rockit 8's aligned perfectly with acoustic treatment placed accordingly throughout the room for an environment with no false reverberation or frequency build up. I also have a second pair of monitors (mackie cr-3's) that i use to check to make sure songs sound good on multiple types and sizes of speakers. I work in Ableton Live 9.

A: Chris Travis Bones Tory Lanes Kodak Black Niykee Heaton Playboi Carti Rex Kudo Fki Suicide Boys Emi Smino

A: Mastering: Volume maximization. Peak Limitation. Equalization and Compression Stereo Widening. removal of harsh frequencies. I am also very well versed in vocal engineering, i.e. vocal effects, thickening, adding additional harmonics, creating ambient depth within a vocal.
