Interview with David Kandler

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm recording guitars and producing a song for a Czech famous artist.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I like both but I'm using digital because it's fast.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I will do my best to fulfill your vision so that you're 100% satisfied with the result.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I really enjoy working on new things, being creative and coming up with the perfect guitar track.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: To tell me their vision for the song. Also a reference is very helpful.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Guitar, amp, mic, audio interface and computer.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been playing for 12 years.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Soulful.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: John Mayer, because I love his songwriting and guitar playing. Also, his production is amazing.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Finding the few right parts that work together, rather than overdoing it.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Usually Pop, R&B/Soul, Funk and Rock.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Besides guitar playing, it's responsibility and quick delivery.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I try to bring creativity and the right guitar part for the song.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: First I discuss the vision for the guitar part with my client and I listen carefully to the song. Then I start working on ideas for the guitar part. I record the ones that are the best and tweak the sound to fit the mood of the song perfectly.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I'm working in Cubase Pro. I'm using Audient iD14 audio interface. I usually record through Neural DSP Archetype Cory Wong plugin since it's versatile and easily tweakable to fit the sound of the song. That way I can also send a straight D.I. signal if the client wants to tweak it themselves. If needed, I also use effects in the signal chain.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I'm inspired by John Mayer, Prince, Nile Rodgers, D'Angelo, Ariel Posen, Marcus King, Tom Misch, Doyle Bramhall II and countless others.
