@prodjason on SoundBetter

I am a certified music producer that can assist you with any aspect of the music-making process, from production to mastering.

I was trained by and apprenticed for electronic artist Lucas Abend who has worked with everyone from Snoop Dogg to Skrillex, and during this time I honed my skills in making a wide variety of genres of music. I primarily work with Hip-Hop but I also have a lot of experience in House, Ambient, Post-Punk, and Synthwave. I am always learning and eager to work on new projects so please feel free to reach out at any time.

Interview with @prodjason

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: When I was being trained in music production I worked on various projects ranging from video game sound design to local artists' demos but I was very proud that I was delivering work my colleagues and clients were impressed by.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I currently am working on a band with some friends in my city as well as a clothing line!
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: I don't know anyone on SoundBetter yet, but I hope to meet some new friends.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog for sure, it has the sort of timbre that just sounds so rich and warm and it really makes a track feel more alive.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: My 'promise' to my clients is to work alongside them to ensure I am delivering a song that they enjoy and are proud of.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I enjoy everything about the process of making music, but that feeling, once you have finished a project or song, is the best to me.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: I often get asked what my style is, and I say that I don't really have one, I just like music.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: I think one of the biggest misconceptions is that you have to be amazing at an instrument like the guitar to make music, I know amazing producers who have never touched a normal instrument in their life.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: My biggest question for a client is what exactly is the mood you want for this track and if they have any references.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Ask questions, I am looking to be on your team so all you have to do is ask and I will try my best to accommodate and help.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Laptop, Interface, Guitar, Mic, Synth, and I would be set.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started making music on my laptop when I was 13 and all I have wanted to do since was just keep making music.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I definitely have a more laid-back and spaced-out sound that I enjoy making. Lots of synth work but I still try to get as much out of natural instruments as I can.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: My dream would be to work with Kanye West, I adore his approach to music and the teams he assembles. I believe we would work well together and make some great music.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: I think the most important thing to remember is to have fun, when you entirely enjoy what you are making you will find that it turns out so much better.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: For most of my time making music I have worked on Hip-Hop but I have been able to branch out more and I have worked on alternative rock and electronic music quite a bit lately.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I think my strongest skill is my willingness to try new things while still remaining focused on the goal of the client.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring solid fundamental recording, production, mixing, and mastering techniques but I am also always willing to experiment and help give a song what it needs to be memorable and a joy to listen to.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My ideal work process is to just go with the flow, I know generally I am looking to bring balance and clarity to a song but I find the music is so much more personal and unique when I let it tell me what it needs.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have two computers (one MacBook Pro and one custom desktop for more demanding projects), I use a Universal Audio Apollo Twin X with a variety of headphones, a full-size midi keyboard, guitars, full drumset, Korg Minilogue, countless plug-in synthesizers/effects, and a Lewitt LCT 440 Pure.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I find inspiration in all music, however, artists like Aphex Twin and Kanye West have always been special to me.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I do a bit of everything but more often than not I am finishing production and mixing.
