Interview with Adrift Audio
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: The EP "This is For You" that I finished a couple months back was a great achievement for the band, and had the most fun time recording with them.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: A single for The Band Good in Austin called Bill Murray, and two solo albums.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Rob Murray of Poolside Audio is a great option for Pop, and indie pop artists with more of a budget.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: These days? kind of depends where the music is going to be listened to, and there are pro's and con's for either. Digital wins on ease of use for sure.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: That you will never feel like your concerns are not being heard or addressed. My goal is to make your music the way you want it!
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Writing and Producing! It's always fun to create and add something to a song.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Depends, but I would say length of time before completion, which of course varies depending on the project. On average, a Mix takes at least a week before first version, Masters at least 3 days, and Producing can take a week.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That anyone can do it, and do it well.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: way to many to post here, I like to get to know my clients and their influences. I legitimately like making meaningful connections with the people I work with, where in music after all!
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: If you want professional results in a timely manner without compromises, this is the place for you!
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: A solar generator, a wifi hub, my macbook, my Apollo, and my Mojave microphone.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been playing music for 18yrs, and recording, mixing, producing for the past 7. Music is my career.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Eclectic, and prone to change with the times.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would love to work with Andrew Scheps and some of the producers that have been in the game for 30+ years, those guys have seen everything.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Subtlty can be a good tendency, but don't make it a habit.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Rock, Indie, Pop, Classical, and any variation in between, but I am always open to doing any Genre!
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Recording, and playing percussion.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I always try to add that sense of spacing and dynamism to a performance and to the depth of the music. Sometimes I will add a small midi instrument or go crazy with reverb/delay layering. Anything and everything to make a song great!
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I do everything very step by step and in a sequential process.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I use a Mac with Protools; with a combination of Izotope, Waves, Slate Digital, and other plugins. JBL's as my main monitoring, in tandem with a Kenwood system for reference. I use a UA Apollo as my main digital audio converter.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I really enjoy the recordings from the 70's. Some of the best sounding and dynamic music ever tracked down.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: In most cases, I like to have the whole process on lock. I can do the recording from scratch, and I have more control over my mix environment to work with. A lot of bands really like this approach because they can ge input into improving the recording process for a better final mix.
