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

A: Most commonly my clients ask me the difference between mixing and mastering.

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

A: There is a 'one size fits all' solution to every track. There are definitely similarities between the processes that I undertake on each piece of music, but I prefer to approach each song as its own entity.

A: My main question is what do they want from me - how can I turn their music into

A: I usually begin by having a deep conversation with my client to hone in on exactly what they want from their record. This usually involves discussions about reference and inspiration tracks, as well as music trends and changes. From there I can advise and suggest routes that we take together to match and exceed their dream. Once we have decided on a vision for the record, I will go away and make that happen, providing drafts and demos along the way for feedback.

A: My studio is a bespoke setup, tucked and isolated away inside my house. I keep my setup simple in order to allow for focussed and streamlined work.

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