Interview with Chris Shrift

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I have worked hip hop, indie, rock, punk, instrumentals. I don't think I particularly have a specific type
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Recording and mixing
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I can bring whatever is needed from additional instruments to just sound advice.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: If I am writing and working on my own song then I begin with the writing and typically have a list of recent riffs or melodies written out to choose from and basically just go from there. Start a demo that will eventually turn into a mastered track. With other people I start where ever they need to start. Whether that is for a beat or from scratch with a fully recorded song.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I switch my set up quite a bit depending on the project but I have a few mixers/interfaces I use, mostly work on protools 12 these days, switch out different mics that I have been using for a while, an Akai MPK 49 as a MIDI controller, a pair of Mackie CR3 Monitors, and a few different amps.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Recording, production and mixing
