Mixing, Mastering, Producing

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: For the moment I am only working on some projects of my own. I have noticed that the demand dropped since the pandemic.

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: To be honest, no.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I have tried analog and digital. I would say that the regular listener wouldn't even spot the difference between digital and analog, unless you're in a competition, this matter is rather irrelevant, just work with what you can afford. There are also emulations out there that sound very similar to the original analog gear so if you're an audio geek, knock yourself out with analog products, if not, digital is a great alternative.

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

A: I promise my clients a great service or their money back. I am not only here for the money, but for lasting relationships and creating connections. I might need one of my clients for a vocal of a track of my own, so I need to leave a great impression for them to want to work with me.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: What do I like about my job ? the full package

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

A: What's your rate. My answer is, I am flexible, I know how hard it is to manage as a musician when you still don't have a source of income. So when it comes to money, I can reduce the prices.

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

A: The biggest misconception is that some people think that audio can be restored, so they send samples of really low quality, and I'm supposed to make that work. I mean I can just destroy it with distortion and throw a filter on it, but that's not how it works, you need clean audio.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: I usually let them do the asking

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

A: My advice is that the customer should always know what he's aiming at and to never rush things.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: As I mentioned above, my gear is in my computer, so I'd need my headphones, my computer and my synth.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I have been making music for over 7 years. I started it for fun, nothing serious. But it wasn't long until I got hooked, I started to make covers and remakes back when EDM was taking over the world. I then started to work on my own music, was weak in terms of quality and originality but hey, we all started somewhere. So It wasn't long before I got into mixing and learning about improving audio quality. It took me a while and a lot of hard work to get to where I am today, I am now a signed artist who ahs developed his own signature sound, or that is what everyone tells me at least. So here I am, looking to make a living using my musical knowledge that I have acquired over the years.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: My style is a mixture of European electronic music and the warmth of the Arabian music.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My strongest skill is the ability to work on a project for an extended period of time. Because music is obviously all I like to do.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: My studio setup is quite minimalistic, I believe in the old saying. It's not the gear, it's the ear. I use a couple studio monitors, soundcard, midi keyboard, a pair of studio headphones plus a synth with a vocoder. That's pretty much it, all the mix and master equipment I have are purchased in vst format.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: I don't like to pick because I love a lot of artists work. But in terms of creativity, Monolink, Astrix and Queen are one of my favorite artists/ bands. In terms of audio mixing, I'll have to go with chris lord alge.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: I usually mix and master my clients songs and podcasts. I also get beatmaking requests but they are not as frequent as the services previously mentioned.
