Interview with Mr.Brik

Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital, because analog for a client is very unaffordable.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I promise to transforme the idea that the client has in his mind to reality and to make him feel like it's him that's mixing is own song.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Trasforming the client idea to reality and to make him feel like it's him that's mixing is own song.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I'm an Italian beatmaker and Dj that has been in the game since 2014. I played in some discos and at some events in countries near him, in events where the musical theme was mainly Trap/Hip-Hop/RnB. So I have started to make beats, and with some luck and consistency (and studying), I have reached many objectives like a +50k streaming, 1k of sell, and see the joy of a client to have their song mixed or mastered by me.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Behringer Umc404Hd, Rode Nt-1, Superlux 303, Mackie Mc-250, Yamaha Hs7, Fx Audio 6
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Headphones, Audio Interface, Pc-Portable, Audio DAC and a Eq.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I have multiple styles in making beats, some are cloudy and relaxing, others more harsh and dirty.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Sometimes, 10 well-searched sounds are better than 100.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Usually, Trap/Hip Hop beats, and also Trap-Reggeaton and Indie-Trap beats.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Clarity, Punch, Thicness, Energy, Groove.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Usually, I start with the fundamentals of the song, like Kick, Snare,808 and Voice. So I balance everything with the "5 fundamentals" to reach the best starting point for a clear mix.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I love Chris Lord Alge, Lu Diaz, Scheps, Jonathan Wyner and Francesco Bonalume mix and mastering style. In production, I love Yung Gud, Yung Sherman, Beats By Jeff, Big Fish, Big Head, Smokeasac, FishNarc, Chris Nolan, Sick Luke, Low Kidd, Ruby da Cherry styles.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: The most common job that clients ask me is to mix/masters their voices/songs to transform them into the single that could be heard on national radio, or simply to make a qualitative leap in their songs in terms of audio, without having to spend too much money on professional studies. I also produce instrumentals since 2014, and my styles are sometimes inspired by a more cloud instrumental, and other times by a more powerful one such as a no melody type beat, also going from much more melodic instrumentals with very light guitars or synths, to much more hard ones.
