Interview with Zomane

  1. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  2. A: A project that i worked on that i am extremely proud of is GLC's up and coming Album. It has features from Wiz Khalifa, Bj the chicago kid, Raekwon, and Tyre Hakim. Not only do we have some amazing features, its executive produced by No I.D, and co-production from him as well. I have production on every song and i am the mix engineer for this project as well. It is to be released through AWAL sometime this fall.

  4. A: I'm currently working with a company that No I.D is backing called Twelve majors. They have a PHENOMENAL artist by the name of Tyre Hakim that we are working at the moment. Tyre is next up!

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

  6. A: No i haven't searched the database to look at the members of Soundbetter Yet.

  7. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  8. A: Analog. It just sounds THAT much better than ITB. There are a lot of great plugins that emulate that analog sound. BUT there is nothing like the sound of audio coming through analog equipment. Which is why i've invested into a hybrid setup and use both.

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

  10. A: My promise to my clients is to always give my 100% effort to take their sound to where it needs to be to complete a record. This requires a certain level of trust from the client and over the years i have learned to gain and RESPECT that level of trust as a mixing engineer and producer.

  11. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  12. A: I LOVE the middle part of mixing a record, It's right after i've done everything in my dedicated work flow to achieve a certain sound. I allow the vibe to take over and manifest a unique sound that i had no intention of making, its the best part of finalizing a record. I enjoy it every single time and it allows me to have fun while working.

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

  14. A: " What's your turn around time? " 48-72 hours " How many revisions do you give? " 3 revisions, More can be negotiated if need be. " Can you make me sound like a certain artist?" No, I can not make you sound like a particular artist, But i can bring those elements into your world as a unique artist.

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

  16. A: I feel the biggest misconception about what i do is that every mix is the same, but that is absolutely false. Every mix is different and unique. And every mix also requires a different vibe to complete it.

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

  18. A: Mpc, UAD Arrow, Headphones,Midi Controller, Macbook Pro

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