Interview with Damjan Ilic
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: what's the price of the service? my answer always is the same, How much you pay is how much you get.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Hybrid,. There is a beauty in the analog things, if you ask me. The electricity ads a lot to it, on the other hand, nothing sounds cleaner than digital synthesizers, compressors, eq's, etc. It always depends on what you want to accomplish, what you are aiming for.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Creative layering.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I can bring your ideas to life. I can bring energy to your mix, life to the arrangement, and a professional sounding product to the table.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: We either start from scratch (I make a beat and you write to it), or, what many of my clients do, and what I prefer to do, is they will write a demo (either to piano/guitar or even a Youtube beat they found), they'll send me a voice memo, and I'll build the song around their idea. Some of the best songs I've made have stemmed from voice memos. Usually, my clients will send me 2-3 references songs so I can can get an idea of how they want their song to sound. We'll toss ideas back and forth and I will produce the song to completion and do revisions until the client is 100% satisfied. For mixing/mastering: The client sends me the stems (all tracks rendered as separate files–e.g. kick.wav, lead vox.wav, claps.wav, etc). Then, I mix them and send it back for any feedback/revisions. Then I continue with revisions until the client is satisfied.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Producing, finishing projects, mixing, mastering, creative layering, editing, tuning, quantizing etc.
