Endorse David Kennedy
Interview with David Kennedy
What questions do you ask prospective clients?
Generally what their end game is. What is it that they are trying to accomplish.
How would you describe your style?
I'm notoriously an easy laid back kinda guy
Which artist would you like to work with and why?
Anyone determined and willing enough to put in the effort
Tell us about your studio setup.
My studio in Jamaica is basically a Pro Tools 10 room with a Live room. Yamaha Hs5 Monitors, Mackie HR24's and Tannoy DMT 12 Mk II's. I mix in and out of the box using UAD processing thru an Apollo 16 MkII and an OCTO. I use a neve 8816 as a summing amp
Analog or digital and why?
I prefer Analog. Digital totally messed up everything.
What's your 'promise' to your clients?
Guaranteed Satisfaction
What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
I'm not a magician
What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
Over 30 years... Primarily in New York from the late '80's thru the early '00's. Been in Jamaica from '04 thru '14.
Can you share one music production tip?
No
What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
So many..
Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
Recently I've been concentrating on mixing. I do record from time to time depending on where I am and who I am working with. I do a lot of production and consulting also.
