Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Blended for the best result. Always depending on the project at hand.

A: Making lots of almost invisible tweaks that all together have a significant impact on a song.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Q. Can you make it louder? A. Why?
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I provide mix tweak ideas (if needed) so I don't have to do anything unnatural to your song when mastering.
Q: What's your typical work process?
