Mix Engineer, Producer

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I'm always growing my business. New services and packages for my music production company are being added at website.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

Analog brings a certain character or coloration that can't be fully copied. It can get close but there will always be a slight difference that favors the actual hardware.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: I generally ask about the project but y questions are mostly depended on what service I'm booked for.

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

Also if you're not sure how to send files to mix engineer then I suggest doing some research. There is hundreds of videos on youtube on how to prepare files to a mix engineer or mastering engineer.
