Interview with Jim Mparlas
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I was a producer and engineer on a hip hop album that the recordings took 2 years, another 1 year for mixing mastering and finalising the tracks. We did a lot of work but it was one of the best experiences

A: I work on 2 albums and many projects I do my own
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Vincent hands down
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. The final product is what matters, there are many things analog has that digital don’t and vice versa. Analog wins a little bit more cause it adds harmonics you can’t achieve 100% with digital but is very expensive too.

A: 1. Moog grandmother 2. Speakers 3. Microphone 4. Drum kit 5. A looper
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I’ve been doing this since 2011. Before that I was playing guitar and drums on bands. I used to dj on many clubs from then till now and I worked with so many people. Did release some songs on record labels and played in festivals.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Dark atmospheric with strong drums and dirty vibes
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I’d like to work with two artists. One is Lorn cause his productions are touching parts of my soul I can’t explain. And the other one is Novel 729 cause his lyrics are healing me
