Mixer

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: First few moments is listening to the song as I setup some routing and session organization. Then I dive into tackling instruments with multiple mics... checking for phase alignment, level, stereo field. Then I try to get a rough mix in the first hour or two with minimal automation. Take a break, send client rough mix to see if they like the direction. Come back, start automating and polishing. Check the mix on various systems.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Digital. Full recall.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: I tend to like clean sounding, groove forward mixes.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Using other good sounding tracks as reference is a fantastic tool to use at any stage of production, but especially during mixing/mastering.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: I spent years as a dialogue editor so you can be sure that every click, pop, and mouth noise is going to get edited out of your lead vocal and delicate acoustic guitar track!
