Interview with Vernon Wallace
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: One of my favorite projects was The Pink Method song, "We Will Rise". I really felt like the song was special when I wrote it, but I knew it was good when my mother called and told me she was proud of me for writing it. That meant a lot.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Right now I am mixing a few new tracks for The Pink Method and I am starting a few new orchestral pieces.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: I work with a lot of great singers on Soundbetter. You can find a list on my profile page.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital mostly, but I have a few great tube pre amps. Digital is great as long as you can understand saturation.

A: I will work hard to meet expectations.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I just love finishing a song and knowing the artist digs it.

Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is very groove based. I am always looking for beat that makes you want to tap your feet.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would love to work with Ed Sheeran, JellyRoll, Morgan Wallen and Post Malone. These guys all have a great vibe and I feel like they are dedicated and believe in what they are doing. There are also a ton of older artists I would love to work with, but the list is way too long. Can you say Madonna!

Q: What's your typical work process?

My clients send me all the stems according to my specifications and I edit and mix everything to their liking. It is not always exactly like they may envision it in their heads, but I like this because it usually turns out better than they expected.
