Rock & Metal Mixing/Mastering

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I love the workflow of analog and try to emulate it when working in the box. For more fine tuning, I prefer digital because of its transparency and accuracy.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: Communicate how you feel about a rough mix, even if you feel like it's a harsh thing to say. If you don't tell me what you dislike then you won't be happy when it comes to release.

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

A: My laptop, headphones, guitar and interface. It's all I really need!

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: I would love to work with Periphery, Muse, or Northlane.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Check the phase!!!

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

A: Rock and Metal are my favourite genres to work on.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My strongest skill is doing whatever it takes to get a mediocre recording to sound good. I have worked on some less-than-stellar recordings before from when I was a beginner so I know how to enhance them and get them to a good standard.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I usually put all of my faders down, bring the most important part of the mix up and then set my levels based on that. After that I will do basic EQ and compression and then do the more complex processing and sends.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I work entirely in the box, but I occasionally get to try some analog gear.

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

A: Adam 'Nolly' Getgood is a big influence on my drum processing techniques and, for me, set the gold standard for real drum sounds in the modern rock and metal space.

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

A: I mainly mix and master clients' songs to ensure they are sounding as good as they can, ready for release
