I have had several songs over the years mixed by Corey and always have been happy with the results. He doesn’t stop working until it sounds the way you want it to sound.
Corey has been working with us closely for the past 10 years and has recorded and mix for our label “Gproduction music group”. Very professional and always on time.
Interview with Corey Stocker
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Mixing for independent and major label release, some tracking work, studio integration and wiring.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I'm really inspired by the energy in the music of the newer artists coming out these days.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: depends on the project, I try to tailor my process to best fit the current client's needs.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: pop, urban, EDM, some singer/songwriter
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: laidback attitude. very deadline oriented. I like aggressive mixes for some songs but soft and glossy on others.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started as an EDM dj in the late 90s. After that I attended Fullsail in 2001-2002. From there I moved to D.C. where I began tracking for urban and rock, mostly indy releases. Then in 2005 I decided to move to Atlanta. Once here in Atlanta I recorded a radio single for Dem Franchize Boyz on my first day and haven't really stopped since then.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: a life raft, axe, lighter, sat phone and water purifier. Anyone that takes recording gear to an island with no power would quickly regret that decision. That stuff is heavy!!!
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Be upfront with your requests, it makes communication easier.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What's the style of sound you are shooting for?
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: i get to listen to great music and when I'm not doing that, I get to set up the rooms where others will do the same for years to come.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: That it will sound much better when we are done or we will work on it until it does, with no additional charge.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Pro Tools HD. Antelope clocking, UAD converters, Yamaha and Focal monitoring, outboard gear by API, UA, Pendulum Audio, Bryston, power by Furman.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: A great ear for vocal pitch and a desire to make it the best it can be without losing any of its energy. Also a measured understanding of the sonic qualities of similar songs currently in rotation.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Will it sound cheesy if I say listening? It works for both the client and song.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: these days less is more. focus on timing and space. Space is super important in great music.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Deadmau5, I've always been a huge synthesizer freak.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Can we negotiate on price? Depends on the music.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: The analog digital debate is now mostly about money. With the cost of true analog recording climbing faster and faster it is completely outta reach in regards to the price of media to record on and the added time needed in studio to record to 2 inch tape for most people. These days only the largest project budgets can afford the money and time needed for an all analog recording and mix. Since it is so cost prohibitive there is no longer a level debate field for the 2 formats.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Currently mixing for some exciting new artists and producers here in Atlanta. Recently finished new studios for Ludacris as well as a 5 Room studio for an entirely new company to Atlanta.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Daniel Groover
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Recently mixed new songs for artists in Mexico,Singapore, Germany, and Ireland. Also Consulting on acoustics and room tuning in a new mix room for 14+ grammy winning engineer Leslie Brathwaite.
