Mixing Engineer and Producer

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I prefer to use both. We have long passed the time when digital equipment sounded bad and only remains the bad reputation that follows it from that period. Both are great for different things and both sound good. There are some sounds that you can't achieve digitally that you can in analog domain and vice versa.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: I love everything about it! Meeting new people, working with them, discovering new music, new gear... Sound Engineering is the only thing I can imagine myself doing.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: I'd like to think of it as "underground". A little bit of lo-fi, 90's garage music - recording in a basement on a 4 track, but higher in quality.

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

A: "Can you do it faster?" No, just like your playing, mixing is a creative process as well, and it takes time to make it as best as possible

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

A: The biggest misconception generally in this business is that we are some kind of wizards who can make anything sound amazing! The truth is quite different ... The quality of the mix is equal to the quality of the musicians playing and the quality of the recording, as well. However, that doesn't mean I don't have a couple of tricks up my sleeve!

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: It's Rock/ Alternative Rock mostly, but I do encounter Pop and Rap/Hip Hop often, too.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Practice daily and get good! The better you are at your instrument the better the music will be.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Bringing out the good parts of something and removing the bad.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: An unbiased, objective opinion that is only there to serve the song.
