Music production and Mixing

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: How much do you charge for mixing and mastering. I work with the artist or producer budget and always try to be fair with pricing. Also, be careful with people that offer mastering services for cheap. Mastering is a unique speciality which generally to be done correctly requires very specific room, speakers and specialized technical experience. I do not provide a mastering service, however, I will prepare your mix for mastering.

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: I’m especially proud of my last 2 EP’s “ “Renegade Voyager” & “ Save My World”.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I’m currently working on projects for my upcoming EP as The Indiigo ChIld.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I personally use a mix of both and I have the best results when I use a mix of both analog and digital. Analog provides the warmth that I need sonically meanwhile the digital plug ins balance that warmth. Really makes for a nice sound.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: I promise to give your 100% and I only take on projects I think I can help enhance. If I feel your track is not ready for a mix or already is at amazing quality, then I won’t take on the project.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: Helping someone achieve their goals brings me satisfaction!

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: Have a vision or your project. Just by having a vision will help you articulate better what the track should sound like.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
