Interview with CrispE Production
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: That there is always new tech to play with.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Set everything is stages make sure you know where you are at in the production. If you have just have done a recording and it's what you are sticking with, you need to clean it up first by EQ and compression etc. I used to jump the gun and what to just add effects like Reverb and distortion before cleaning up the tracks to see how they sounded first it never works out, at least for me =).
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Sound Design
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What are you looking for where is this project heading
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Understand what they want is the most important, provide a reference track or sound of something they desire for you to edit or create.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Use everything get the signal from Analog equipment and edit digitally, get the best of both worlds use EVERYTHING you can
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Work that they will be satisfied with, if they do not like it they DO NOT have to pay for it.
