Interview with Lane Studios

Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Guitar for sure. I've played since I was 10 years old, so I have the most amount of time put into that
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I find myself continuing to scale down as the years go by and technology continues to improve. Nowadays I just have my UAD Thunderbolt Apollo interface, and my Retina 5k iMac. Mixing is done 100% "inside the box" aka: in the computer
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both.. but if I am forced to pick one, then: Digital. There are so many analog emulations that are spot on. Plus as the days go by it becomes more and more difficult to use true analog gear for certain things.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: 100% Satisfaction. It is important for the client to be happy with the outcome of the work. I will continue to do revisions and communicate with you until we land on the result you want.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Its fun! and I genuinely enjoy it.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: "Can you make my song Radio ready?" both Yes and No. I have found that sometimes people have a misunderstanding of what this means and also what process will get it there. As long as the tracks don't sound like they were recorded in a closet with a USB mic, then yes, I can get your song "Radio Worthy"
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Most people think Mixing can "save" their song or "fix" it. If the song quality is poor going into the Mixing process, it will still sound fairly poor coming out. Mixing is not a cure all. Its meant to take something thats already great and make it better.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I like to know who did the Production work. I love sending business to people if I can. So if someone does great work, I'll send people their way.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Communication is key. Let me know what you are looking for, some examples of other artists you want to aim for.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: 1. Generator/Computer 2. Guitar 3. UAD interface 4. Avid Eleven Rack 5. Slate VMS
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: hmm... maybe Starset? because their sound pallet is ENORMOUS and would be a ton of fun to Mix.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Get it right at the source. Music is not about cleaning things up at the end. Make it sound great from the get go and it will sound AMAZING once its done
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: All kinds really. Although my specialty is rock
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: over 20 years of being an instrumentalist and over 10 years of being a Mixing Engineer. I have a music oriented mind so I can relate with the artists very well because I also write music.
