Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: On the mastering side people tend to think a bad mix can be fixed in mastering... It can't. On the mixing side, there tend to be people who think that mixing will change the song. In an ideal world, mixing is enhancing/bringing out the heart of the song, but not heavily changing production or basic presentation.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: Mostly what aesthetic they're going for, who their influences are, what's their audience. The same song could be released with a Pop, Country, Indie, or "Coffeehouse", vibe. I can get clues from the production but ultimately it matters most what the song means to you, and who you're looking to reach with it.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: Mixing: After I receive files I import everything into Pro Tools, and get a pretty decent rough mix happening. Then I confirm with the client that we're either good to go, or there's something missing or that needs to be fixed. I then put the mix on my schedule and either send it the day I mix it, or sometimes give it a night to finish with fresh ears. I then shoot this first pass to clients, and then if they have notes I recall and address as needed. Turn around depends on my calendar, and the scope of project but is usually around 2 weeks start to finish. Mastering: I generally listen to the song outside of the DAW, making sure it sounds like a decent mix, and that there's no technical issues. Once I've confirmed everything is good to go, I schedule it in and hit it usually within a few days.
