Interview with Joshua Long

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: MacBook Pro (M1) Logic Pro X, Focusrite Interface, Yamaha Studio Monitors.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have a bachelors degree in music performance, played in several bands and have worked with many different artist, singers, musicians, and producers. I have also had a successful career as a church music director, leading bands and choirs.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Reference tracks, without them, there is no direction for the production or even the writing.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Arranging parts of a song
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I have the ability to hear either a written song or vocal idea and already have the guitar, bass, keys, and drum part written.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I like to get to know a client first, have a conversation so I can truly see what they are about and how I can best serve them. Then we work on writing the song, or for rappers we work on the beat and making sure the lyrics fit the vibe. Next you can either record vocals on your own or for an additional cost, I will record you myself. I can record virtually if you have a mic. Lastly, we mix and master.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Mike Shinoda & Linkin Park taught me how the song comes first. My biggest inspiration for sure! Pharrell Williams is an expert in how to create a unique artistic vibe while remaining catchy. Jack White of the white stripes showed how the song is nothing without the raw emotion expressed authentically through sound.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Producing Records for Artists & TV/Film/Ads
