Interview with Arthur / CassaRecords
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill I guess is understanding the the artist! Because I want to amplify his/her message and fillings of the song by doing my job well.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: The most important thing to me is showing the best by hiding the worst.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I like firstly to arrange all my tracks by category. Drums, Snares, Toms, OHs, Rooms, Bass, Guitars, E. Guitars, Synths, Vocals, Back Vocals, FX. After that I am setting my faders in mono, that gives me the confidence that it will sound good on the radio, TV, or any other mono device. before starting to mix, the last but not least, a do the stereo imaging. This is my usual setting for the majority of all... with some changes from project to project... It gives a constant workflow and helps to do my job as fast and productive as possible.
