Interview with Tim Ratliff
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I will do my best to mix/master or play guitar how you want me to play, just describe what you would like to hear and I will try it. Or you can just turn me loose and let me play it how I feel the music is asking for it.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I wrote a song from scratch which was a first for me. I got GiGi Bella from Reverbnation to do the vocals and we recorded together via internet collaboration. I did all the music she did the vocals. A song called "Everyday Woman". I did all the mixing and mastering and production.

A: There is none, guitar music is guitar music either you like what you hear or you don't it's that simple.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
