Interview with Joshua Frawley

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Recent projects for Rockgu here on soundbetter because it was a great experience working with him and he was very happy with the results.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Currently working on a rock/metal album of own, and just finished a couple projects working with Rockgu here on soundbetter
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Clients ask for specific mix requests, specific songs to use as reference, minor mix revisions, and the answer is always yes.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: Music has been a life long obsession for me. I have always done something with it whether it was writing my own songs, playing in bands, or recording and mixing for others.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: After I receive tracks to be mixed from a client, I import them into my DAW and get to work mixing. I prefer yo mix from the bottom up going from individual tracks, then to sub mixes, then to stems, then to the master fader. From there I export the mix and dump it into a master project where I get the overall mix sounding competitive as far as tonal balance and loudness.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Bobby Torres, Graham Cochrane
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: if you dont have access to a studio, record your tracks in a dead sounding space with little to no background noise. also be sure to avoid clipping when recording. a quieter signal is better than clipping that cannot be fixed later.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: a pair of monitors, an pair of headphones, an 8 channel audio interface, an sm57,
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: i strive for loud, wide, and clear mixes with enough punchy dynamics and warmth
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I mix and master entirely in the box with analog warmth added in with plugins
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Any talented artist in the heavy genres. Im a fan of the music and enjoy helping bring it to life.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Over time ive learned that less is more when it comes to EQ and not to use EQ just for the sake of it.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Heavy rock and metal genres
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Mixing
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: A well balanced mix with plenty of volume, punch, and clarity.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Jordan Valeriote, Bobby Torres, Andy Wallace, Chris Lord-Alge
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Mixing and mastering
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital. Nothing against analog ive just mixed entirely in the box from the beginning and dont feel a need for analog equipment. I believe that achieving a good mix is more about workflow, techniques, skills and experience and less about the gear being used.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I promise to do whatever it takes to achieve the best quality mix and/or master that i can every time.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Mixing heavy music. I love mixing heavy tracks together to make them sound glued together, polished, present, and punchy.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: The need for analog gear. These days you can achieve a decent mix with just a DAW and a handful of stock plugins. Its more about learning how to properly use the tools that you have.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Do you have any mix requests? Are there any songs that you would like me to reference?
